22 Days of Caleb: Not as Obnoxious as a Foodie, But Close

Foods Caleb the Foodie LOVES, That I Will Allow:
  • Cheese (Of any sort: smelly, processed, shredded, from a can, in a kong, on a boat...)
  • Peanut Butter
  • Bread and Bagels (Preferably with one of the previous two smeared on it)
  • Hot Dogs
  • Salami
  • Chicken
  • Steak
  • Cherries
  • Blueberries
  • Blackberries
  • Raspberries
  • Frozen Chicken Broth
Foods Caleb is Determined to Eat, Even Though He Doesn't Really Like Them:
  • Bananas (He insists on having a bite, even though he doesn't like bananas and promptly spits it out then looks to me for another bite, as if this bite will taste differently than the first bite)
  • Nectarines (He has to wallow it on the carpet for a bit, walk away to think about it for a bit, then run back to eat it quickly if it looks like I may take it back
Foods Caleb Would Eat Daily, If I Didn't Step In To Be The Voice Of Reason:
  • Cheeseburgers (He prefers McDonald's to Carl's Jr - honest!)
  • French Fries
  • Pizza (No sausage though, it upsets his tummy, pepperoni and salami are a go!)
Foods I ask him to eat, that he will only begrudgingly ingest:
  • Wellness Super 5 dry food
  • Wellness Canned Food: Turkey, Salmon, Venison flavors
And it took me almost 8 months before I found this combo! Before this, he'd only eat his dog food if he was STARVING; which is intensely annoying when you're trying to add a pound or so to an underweight corgi (YES, they DO exist).
