The simplest solution to the feeding problem is to feed them -- at the same
time -- in different rooms. Or feed one inside and one outside (switch them
at every feeding). When they're out of sight of, and physically separated
from, each other, the empty belly takes care of any lingering thoughts about
what the other has in his bowl.

I have a friend who in a fit of loneness has bought a dog. He is very
good with the dog walks it, looks after it

He lives in a apartment and in Australia you are not allowed to keep a dog
in an apartment. If his landlord finds out he will be kicked out.
My friends job requires him to go on trips about once every couple
months for about a week at a time.

I have offered to look after his dog but I have a German Shepard his dog
is a small fox terrier.

They get on fine have and seem to have a lot of fun,

EXCEPT

1. When I am close by.

2. Meal times.


I have tried putting two plates far away from each other but they both
want the same plate at the same time.
