Loki's picky eating comes and goes, even after Kaia got here. He has had no problem letting her finish his dinner when he didn't feel like eating. I've added yogurt and/or pumpkin to his kibble and that has helped him finish his dinner. They are oddballs in that they will sit and wait for the other to finish, then switch bowls to make sure every last bit has been cleaned up. They also frequently trade bully sticks with one another, but higher value stuff like meaty bones are a no-no to come near. Last month I started them both on Nupro and he actually gets excited at meal times! That has never, ever been the case prior to adding that in. I haven't had to utter the dreaded "finish your dinner" in weeks 😉
UPDATE! Name my Foster Boys!

After Alex's antics as a puppy, I've always said I'd name the next two Beavis & Butthead.
-
Well if you like buckeye you could name the other hawkeye – oh sorry that's Iowa.

Bernie
Dennis
Orville
Columbus

They are 1 1/2 years old and don't have names? That's one of the saddest things I've ever heard. They will need strong, joyful names that let them know they are loved. I just came across the name Noor again - it means light, but I think it's usually used for a female. (Queen Noor was married to the last King of Jordan. She was an American born woman. Really interesting biography.)

agilebasenji- i know its really sad.. they were in the paper as free puppy- pretty sure from a BYB that never sold them and just wanted to get rid of them.. but she never named them.. shows how much they were cared for.. but i am picking them up tommorrow and they will be taken care of from now on.. good suggestion to give them strong names.. i have to see them to help name them..

Okay, well the book I'm currently reading (Thousand Splendid Suns, but the author of the Kite Runner. And if you haven't read KR, you should.) had a little boy in it named Noor, so maybe it works for both sexes.
-
I like Buckeye since it's got a bit of a story behind it. Not sure for the other one though…maybe Ohio? :p
-
Are they here yet?
-
You could always name them Brutus and Buckeye.
-
I vote for Bananna Hand and Knute.
-
How about buckeye and chestnut - they'd be named the same then (horse-chestnut is another name for buckeye)
-
I know this is cheesey but..how about Crockette & Tubbs
(for all you 80s kids!) -
Boys doing any better?
Give them a belly rub for me.
Take care!
