[rawfeeding] Re: Feeling Frustrated and ready to give up Raw

I really needed this thread this morning. I've only been at it one
week, but in the last few days mealtimes have become tremendously
stressful for all of us (except the cats, who seem happy to eat
chicken with some organ meat here and there every day). My old lady,
Duchess, was the first to refuse her food. Then my old man,
Bandit--who had taken to raw as though it was manna--started fussing.
Finally, my seven-month-old puppy, Zach, began turning up his nose at
his food as well. To make matters worse, Zach is beginning to feel
his testosterone (he's getting neutered next week, thank God) and will
fight the other two over food even if he doesn't want it. After a
nasty brawl yesterday, Bandit wouldn't even go outside for his food
this morning and ended up refusing it when I tried to feed him in the
kitchen. The other two finally declined it as well--but not before
Zach and Duchess had a short tussle that ended with her falling of my
deck (which is not too far off the ground, thankfully). It's very
frustrating and upsetting, and this morning I was all set to say to
hell with it.

But then I thought to look here for comfort, and of course I found it.
Thank you.
