I need some help with my new dog
I know there are a lot of pet lovers out there. I've heard from you from time to time.
I need to hear from you again ... this time with some advice on my new dog.
Sue, a Golden Retriever mix, was a Christmas present from my wife. She's between 2 and 3 years old, and it was sort of a rescue mission on my wife's part.
Someone couldn't care for Sue the way she needed to be taken care of, and my wife knows how much I wanted a dog, so she helped the dog find a new home.
Sue loves it out on the farm. She has lots of room to run, and plenty of "friends."
My problem is this: She eats everything she can see. The cat's food isn't safe. I have to protect the cat while he's eating, or Sue will devour everything in seconds.
Is solving my problem as simple as finding two areas completely away from each other to feed both animals?
Sue wasn't in the best of health when I got her (she obviously hadn't been fed regularly), but she's much better now.
Will my problem take care of itself over time?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Believe it or not, the past couple of days I've been feeding the cat in the house before I go to work.
For the best interest of everyone (probably mine!!), I don't think that will continue.
Thanks for the advice, and come on down to the farm anytime you want.
