I was playing the game but for some reason, whenever I decide to make Faye eat from  a dog dish, she refuses. How do I get her to eat from a dog bowl? 

She has to be, at minimum, level 3 ("Amateur") before she'll eat from the dog dish.  Same for actually getting her to Talk to you.  Note that if you're trying for "Painslut" (maximum cruelty) feeding her from the dog dish is kinder than the minimum diet, and may wreck that rating.  White soup restores more of her energy than yellow.

Yeah, she kept starving until she finally ate from it during my time. The tactic was if she was starving so much she would actually eat from it, but wierdly, she just kept starving...  But also weirdly enough, being nice to her calling her a pet for finally digging in, then giving it seaman, still is soft ?  least I thought it would balance out.
