[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, something about this isn't working for me. I think it's the part where you say your husband comes home from work to feed the dogs lunch. Dogs don't eat lunch. Dogs eat every 12 hours (give or take) - breakfast and dinner. Not lunch. [/quote] Yeah, I don't understand this either. I am copying what OP said here: "He noticed our dogs, had not touched their food like they use to, concerned he asked nanny if they seemed ok. She said they seemed fine. Turns out, she had been locking them up for no good reason so when they were to eat they didn't as they were being crated. My husband would come home for a lunch breakand find the food untouched several times and then thought it was odd, its not like them." Ok, so was this their breakfast that was being left untouched? Wouldn't they be eating that in the morning when you were leaving for work? Most people I know feed their pets during this time before they leave, after they wake up. If the dogs are eating meals and not free feeding, then there shouldn't be any food left in the bowls to judge how much they are eating throughout the day (like you can with free feeding). If you feed the dogs in the morning, then the DB comes home at lunchtime to feed them more (which they should only be eating 2 meals a day), then you would not be running into this issue at all. For the crating the dogs part, that is just wrong unless you don't have a garage or room set up that someone could put the dogs into for a while to keep them away from you (if they are getting in the way with baby on the ground etc). But I have never heard of a dog owner that doesn't have some kind of set up to keep dogs in a large space yet separate from the main living areas when needed.[/quote]
