Mandu:
● Ge ⅓ to 1/2 of a can of wet food and a good shake of kibble in the morning and at night (around 6. To 30am and 5pm - he might bug you for it!) If he doesn’t eat it please lift it up so Flinders and Anokhi can’t eat it, and put it down again after an hour. He usually eats it then. Mandu can have a little extra kibble if he seems hungry - we like to keep him well fed so he doesn’t hunt quite so much. .
● Summer: He tends to spend nights outside and come inside in the morning to sleep all day. His cat flap in the basement stays open
● He comes and go as he pleases but shut the basement door when you go to bed if you don’t want to be disturbed.
● Winter:He likes to go outside - if it’s not too cold. he often stays outside for an hour or so but he will come back to the back door (or side door) to be let in or he uses his cat flap. If it’s very cold we close the cat flap at night and keep him locked in the basement until morning, and then open the cat flap again so he can come and go. He comes home for dinner so it’s easy to keep him inside after that.
● He loves his hammock in the sun room - just make sure he doesn’t get shut in. He often spends his days sleeping on the top floor in Indie’s room, so don’t be worried if you don’t see him.

Flinders
● Flinders gets fed a 1.5 cups food at breakfast and 1.5 cups of food at night. He’s welcome to have scraps from meals but he’s not a very greedy dog.
● He sleeps in our room at night, but we leave the door to the bedroom open and he often goes downstairs to sleep at some point and comes back to the bedroom in the early morning. He’s very quiet at night.
● His ‘reflective’ jacket is in the boot room and if you are walking him at night be sure to wear lights (also in the boot room) – Baie d’Urfe streets aren’t very poorly lit at night!
● He loves chasing the ball and the frisbee and his ‘chuck it’ is hanging in the bootroom. The park next to our house is a good place to exercise him.
● There is a bin for the full poo bags outside beside the back deck.
● He rings the bells at the back door to go out - he won’t run away and can be trusted in the backyard.

Anokhi
● She gets a full cup of food 3x a day - usually 6.30am, noon and 5 pm. She uses her big purple bowl so she doesn’t eat her food too fast, and she has to sit and give you a ‘kiss’ before she gets to eat. She must be patient.
● She has a line in the backyard if she’s out there unattended - otherwise she might jump the fence to say hi to people.
● Commands: sit, down, paw, bed, come, wait, stay, roll over, out, take it, spin, turn
