I think he’s not all that hungry. Especially with Barky McThunder drooling over his dish and threatening to polish it off if he won’t.
“drooling over his dish” is what both Titus and Yeti boy do if Midget girl doesn’t eat all the food in her dish right away-they stare at her-and the food-and practically lick their chops to intimidate her into leaving the kitchen.
I take her and the dish into the study when they do that-it lets her finish her dinner at her own pace, and reminds them to eat the food in their respective dishes...
