We have a lovely new puppy who is about 45 months old and is picky about his food. He loves the top of the shelf expensive puppy stuff so we just give it to him. He is happy.
Recently after a dinner with some friends who are good at saving (i.e they would eat beans for a year to save for something) we took a different approach. You see, I admired their discipline to skimp in order to buy their lovely new home so I heeded their advice which was..
"He is only a dog, he would eat his own sh!te, so just give him the cheap dry stuff and he will eat it when he is hungry. You will save x per week and y per year..."
Fair enough, the dry stuff went into his bowl on Sunday morning after the shopping. He looked at me like I had 2 heads and proceed to play with some of it. Perhaps he was genuinely confused. I let him be.
That afternoon he had barely tasted it so we left him overnight just to see if he would gobble it up when the hunger got too bad. The next morning he had eaten a small bit.
Monday evening after work, no dent in it and my OH is worried and wants to go back to the nice puppy top shelf stuff. I persist.
Yesterday evening after work again no food eaten. I also figured this was the reason why he hadn't pooped in 2 days either. He had been drinking water and peeing on the paper so all was normal there. He seemed depressed and my heart was weakening.
Finally I smelled his poop, however before i got to it he had eaten it. I felt a pang of guilt. Poor thing would rather eat his own sh!te than that muck in his bowl. I didn't tell the OH as he hung his head and lay depressed on his blanket.
About an hour later, still hadn't touched the food he pooped again. Again he beat me to it and ate it. Another pang of guilt only it was multiplied as in horror I realised he had been recycling that first bite of the muck from 2 days ago in this way!

Its called Sigep. Its held in the seaside town of Rimini in Italy. Its on next week. Here is an image of the locations. It is absolutely massive. It took us 3 days to explore all the buildings.

There are ice cream stands sampling ice cream and every single type I must tell you. There are whole areas dedicated to chocolatiers and sugar cakes. It is basically like Willy wonka's factory and everything is free to taste.
Later that evening a supplier to us to their factory and we got a tour of a real chocolate and ice cream factory. There was actually a big massive drum of melted chocolate being churned.
I wanted to put my hand in and drink it down. 0 -
