It's been about a week since I got Ares, and I gotta say I learn something new and am intrigued by his behavior every single day. Remember, I had a great dane for 9 years, a german shephard when i was younger, and two chihuahuas in the family for about 12...I gotta say, Ares is the best dog I've ever been around in my life.
It's like he's known me for years. I bring him out back and don't even put him on his lead anymore. He knows right where my property ends. He'll kind of go to it, look at me, then just turn around. I even threw his toy past the line of rocks once, and he wouldn't go over until I went.
He is so respectful but yet so playful and great to have around. Anyway, just thought I'd share that. Oh yeah, onto my question...
I put his food out today, like normal, and he hasn't eaten it. I noticed his poo was kind of 'soggy' when he went today...and he was out playing in the 97 degree sun for about 15 minutes...then when the sun went down, we went out for some more play. Of course, I let him out like normal to pee and do his business, but it was TOO hot to play anymore than we did.
Now his previous owners left food out 24/7 and the first and second night, he ate at around 2AM...I could hear him over there muching. But since then, I'll put out some in the morning (2 cups), which he won't touch, then add 2 more cups at around 6, which he usually eats by 7 or 8.

He has shown no symptoms and his behavior is the same as it's always been...just really happy and playful, but relaxed when he needs to be.
Any thoughts?
