I think my favorite time(s) of the day is just after the packs eats.

Before they eat, things are all hectic - and barky because Sally, the new pup hasnt learn all of her manners yet & she barks at me, demanding her food.

It also takes me a while to get them their meals ..... Jack gets anxious so he eats in here (the office) by himself, but Zeke waits with him while I get their meals ready; and Sally is locked in the bedroom because, again, she hasnt learned all of her manners yet, so she tries to eat everyone's food! Of course, the little old man is with me because he is (a) little, (b) old, and (c) disabled.

In the mornings, 2 of them eat kibble and 2 eat dehydrated food, which takes 5 minutes to dehydrate. Jack gets his Prozac, Sally and Zeke get tummy supplements, Sally gets fish oil because she has itchy skin, and they all get vitamins - Max's gets crushed up so he doesnt have to chew it. I also sometimes toss a little pumpkin into their food if I noticed them having poop issues.

In the evenings, Max eats dehydrated food again, but the other 3 get kibble. They all also get Brewer's Yeast and garlic supplements and coprophagia chews and Sally, again, gets some fish oil for her itchies.

So with everything that needs to be done, it's all kinda crazy getting them all their food.

But after they eat and everyone is set free out of their respective rooms, they all go from bowl to bowl sniffing and licking to make sure who ever ate out of that bowl got every last crumb. lol

It sounds silly, but it's such a cute moment - especially when more than one of them is trying to clean out the same bowl at the same time (usually Zeke and Sally - they are so alike, those 2) - so I guess it's just one of those little things that makes me stop and smile when I see them doing it - no one's fighting, barking, or acting crazy, they are just quietly eating their food and then cleaning out each other's bowls.
