Ok...well...wh en he got here he would hardly eat. We did alright on Exclusive chicken and rice but he plain hated everything else. he lost about 15# but I really thought he was getting more excersise and he just didn't eat much. Well, there is a new food out that is being manufactured by a friend of mine and so he gave me 80# of it. WOW! What a difference. Also, I've not been letting him eat with everyone else since he and Bella have "issues" but he decided that he would stand and bark instead of eating while I milk....so now he's allowed to eat with everyone else. But he still goes to the feed shed after he's finished in hopes of getting more. He's getting what he can have now so he doesn't get more...Anyway I went to get him out of the shed and grabbed the back of his collar and he growled, spun and bit. It was honestly an instinctive reation...not being mean. I shouldn't have grabbed him like that. I know it all sounds very innocuous but it all adds up and me grabbing him was simply rude. I've been told that pyrs don't like being grabbed by the scruff and I'm sure that sometime in his past someone grabbed him and threw him. He was absolutely heartbroken afterwards. Just knew he was getting a beating. Well, he got reprimanded but that was all. And he knew exactly why he got the bath, too!
