Buddy is trying to start a new bad habit, screaming when he doesn't get food that HE wants. For example, this morning I fed both fids chop with brown rice, corn, broccoli, red pepper, white beans and kale. Venus goes to town on her cup, Buddy just looks at me. Then I sit down with my cereal, Buddy starts screaming shrilly. I keep waiting for him to bust a lung. I ignore him but he keeps it up trying to be even louder.
Now I have started telling him NO and "I'm going to put you in time out!" I believe he's associating that with what it is. That is he goes into his travel cage in the bedroom and the cage is covered for 39 mins. Then he can come out. He's 26 and I'm surprised he's started this. By the way he finely ate his chop. He's quite the character for sure.
