Our little eating machine AKA Zed

Almost 4 years ago, we had to take my cat, Babe to the emergency vet.  At that time, we knew we wanted to get a dog.  While we were sitting there in the waiting room, at least 3 dogs came in who overate.  They had gotten into their food and ate almost the whole thing.  I remember one owner said it was almost a 10 lb. bag, another a 5 lb bag.  The poor pups were just bloated.  We were both thinking, "wow, do we really want a dog"?

Esa is a typical Husky and the food could sit there all day.  She will eat when she wants.  Zed, on the other hand, will eat as soon as it hits the dish.  We have caught him a couple of times trying to get Esa's food.  Which is a stretch for him since Esa's food is raised up.  We joke that we are going to have to rush Zed to the emergency room one day for overeating.  BTW, we keep their food in the pantry and I don't think he would break into a bag (since we have an unopened bag sitting out right now - we'll probably move that tonight just to be on the safe side).

Today, was almost the day.  Zed ate his food (1/4 cup) and Esa left hers (1 cup).  Hubby took her for a walk and when they came back, almost all of Esa's food was gone.  That silly boy, he ate 2 DAYS WORTH OF FOOD (plus some)!  No treats for him tonight!  Hopefully he's feeling ok.  I'm sure he has a tummy ache today!
