light feedings

Having always had large dogs it is not easy for me to get used to feeding one third cup portions twice a day. It looks like so little in the bowl. The bowl itself is small and I add some pumpkin and a tablespoon of canned food with some water.

When we talk about our corgis being medium size dogs on short legs I wonder if this is true? Duchess is petite. The breeder told me she was normal size but to my eyes she is small. She is about twenty five pounds, her best weight must be twenty three pounds.

My main point is that I feel guilty feeding her so little compared to what my large dogs were fed. She does get snacks and treats during the day. Hard to say how much because there are three of us in the house.

It is sort of like when your kids leave home and you just have two people to cook for, and you tend to still cook for four. Maybe many of us have this same problem.
