Ebbie only has the one meal - proper doggy food, but during the day - whenever i go out - ie to drop kids off, pick them up, work etc she gets chewsticks, or biscuits or something else nice - so she doesn't have to last all day on an empty tum, even when i am at home all day - she still reminds me to give her something from the cupboard (see the thread about annoying traits), she's quite funny and very hard to ignore. If she didn't have so many other things i would feed her twice a day - of course - at the mo - she is having 2 meals and treats cos of the pups - not that she is feeding them anymore so i have got to reduce it further.
