Pet Food Automatic Feeder - Progress

Jack is slowly getting used to the pet food auto-feeder but he still barks for his food during the meal times....... sigh.....

At least, he is not running away from it, as shown in the first video in my earlier posting.


But I have to reinforce the auto-feeder as Jack would push and claw at it for more food..!


So I have to surround it with a wire fence and hooked it to the wall, and finally covering it with a plastic bag so that he could not see the food inside else he will not give up on it..!


So far, it is working fine ....... but we are still monitoring it closely...

Here is a short video of Jack having his dinner.....

Pet Food Automatic Feeder

Hi,

Jack likes to start barking for his food as early as 6am and to-date, my Filipino housekeeper has been waking up to feed him......

It used to be 7am but Jack has started to feel hungry earlier now.....?

It could be quite annoying to my neighbours on weekends so I bought a Pet Food Automatic Feeder.

So what does this gadget do?

There is a timer and I can programmed the times to feed Jack and also the portion of food..... only dry food though..!

Our initial concern was that Jack could 'attack' the container as he is always greedy for food and treats....... Beagles are known to have a bottomless pit when it comes to food....!

This video shows the first encounter of Jack with the automatic feeder..... quite funny...

First time that Jack ran away from his food...ha.....ha....




Hope Jack will get used to it ...... so stay tuned as I will keep you updated later on the progress.

Jack Getting His Food Automatically

Jack has been barking at early as 6am for his first meal of the day.

We have decided to buy an Automatic Pet Feeder to solve the problem of having to wake up so early to feed Jack especially on weekends, before our neighbours start complaining to us.

Here is a video of Jack's first encounter with the automatic feeder.....

Quick funny as Jack run away from his food as he was startled by it.




Jack is still barking at the auto-feeder and pushing it around for more food.....ha...ha...

He should be getting use to it slowly...... but we are still keeping an eye on him during his meals for the time being.

Jack Close-up

Hi,

This is a close-up of Jack the Beagle.......... 12 years old!

Still looking good......

Jack at the Gate

Hi,

Jack love to position himself at the gate after 5pm to watch the world goes by.....

Or rather barking at other dogs taking their evening walk or waiting for us to come home.

Love you, Jack!

Jack sleeping in his crate

Hi,

Jack has this large crate to sleep and this is how he sleeps in it.

Amazing.... how he can stick his head out of the crate....!

He can also cramped himself into a smaller crate but I just threw it away as it have been worn out due to wear and tear over the years.......

That's my Jack...!

Jack Bit His Tail

Hi,

We found Jack biting his tail one day and the skin was raw and red.

We managed to put some medicine on his tail and then put on the collar ( forgot the proper name for it ) so that Jack could not go and bite his tail anymore.

Jack still managed to jump up and leaned against the window to peep into the house. So cute....!

After a few days, his tail healed and he is doing fine now.

Album of Ruby's Photos

Hi,

This is the album of Ruby's photos taken in Sep 2009, just before she went to her new home.

Ruby Re-homed

Hi,

While we miss Ruby, our Corgi, dearly but we are happy that we managed to re-home her successfully to a young couple without children.

This couple used to own a corgi.

They have Ruby for a 2 weeks' trial period before they confirmed that they really wanted Ruby.

For those who may not have been following my earlier postings, Ruby was too dominant and aggressive towards Jack, my beagle, and bit him again early this year. We decided to re-home Ruby so that Jack can has a more peaceful remaining years with us as he is 12 years old now.

Be a good girl, Ruby...... We love YOU....!

Jack Peeping

When we do not close our door properly, we will see Jack trying to come inside but he may just do some peeping first to check us out......

So cute ..............

Ooooopss......... Did Jack see some treats lying around...?

Ruby with her Toy

Ruby is now not so possessive over her toy, a tennis ball.

She used to hold it with her mouth most of the time, thinking that we will snatch it from her.

But we have let her alone with her ball and she is now more relax and not so snappy....ha...ha...

A nice shot of Ruby.

Jack Sunbathing

Jack likes to laze around under the sun....

You can see that Jack is facing towards the inside of the house and not looking outside.

He is very sensitive to our presence or movement inside the house.

And, of course, he is looking forward to us coming out to give him a treat too ........ha....ha....
