Hello,

I do not fast him. He's too young(?), and if he goes more than a day without eating he will throw up stomach bile. He eats one big meal a day at night. He eats an entire chicken or an equal amount (roughly 4-5 pounds) of different things like organs and different meats. There is another dog in the house, but he never sees it. It lives in the basement, and we are two floors above it. He likes that dog a lot when he does see it (girl), and he will share his toys and anything else with her and very gently play with her. He would not do that with a male.

He eats in his kennel. He knows "kennel," and he goes into it and sits down. He will wait until I say "okay" to start eating, too. He does badly if he's in the kitchen with me while I'm putting the meat together and my roommate's are around. He gets anxious and jumpy. Once, he got some wrappings from raw chicken out of the trash while I wasn't in the room and he snapped at my roommate when she took it. They have a good relationship and he really likes her, but he's not really on the level of having people take things from him with anyone except me, because it hasn't come up before. He will let my parents take things, but he kind of snaps at the air. He won't bite them, but he definitely shows irritation when they take things.

He usually is very tired and hungry when he eats, since it is at the end of the day.
