A very special dog
I've mentioned my friend's GSD before. He is ummm... different. Even other
dogs seem to realize it. Anyway, his folks had emptied out a bag of his dog food, left it by the front door so they'd remember to throw it away later, and went out for dinner. They came back to find this: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65...a_special1.jpg Apparently, he had been lying in bed like that, quite possibly the whole time they had been gone. Suja |

Suja He's adorable, thanks for the picture! My two have their own *food bag* rituals. When a new food bag is opened to fill their large storage tin with food, they both have to come over and both *look* & *sniff* to be sure it's the *right stuff* I guess. And when the last of the 40 pound bag is emptied into their storage tin, they also have to look to be certain every last morsel has been removed from the bag. Once they are certain of that, the bag itself becomes irrelevant. Dogs are such interesting and entertaining creatures, 'eh? So many *habits/rituals* that must be followed. td |

Dogs are such interesting and entertaining creatures, 'eh? So many *habits/rituals* that must be followed. I'm not sure about *must*. They do tend to be creatures of habit, if left to their own devices. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

Or maybe they like food, and the bag smells good to them. You haven't *watched* my dogs. They don't try to gobble up the food out of the bag. Their *interest* lies specifically in checking out the bag and it's contents. Once it passes inspection, they give us the *look* that, 'yes, all is well in their world.' 'We have the *right stuff* in sufficient quantities.' Just as when the can is emptied, they give us the 'worried look'. A much different expression from the 'all is well' look. If I empty the can in the morning, with their breakfast bowls, I get the 'worried look'. Especially from my Gracie. I have to tell her "don't worry, daddy is bringing more home." That seems to apease her worry a bit. td |

It really bugs the hell out of you that my dogs and I have a line of communication that doesn't involve mushing. |
