Today when we went to feed the dogs they were all together. Most days they are a little more spread out.
But they are easier to feed when they are all in one place.
The weather has been beautiful. I don't think we have ever gone this long without a frost, so the grass is still growing too.
Maggie likes to lay down to eat,
and Molly has been following suit.
Jewel has always eaten laying down too.
Bumble is the lone stander. Her hips are bad so it is difficult for her to get up and down even with the pain meds she gets daily. But even as a younger dog she always stood to eat. And there you have the different styles.
Both interesting and surprising. I would have thought most dogs would stand while eating. So is this a socially learned behavior or individual dog preference? Maybe we could get a government grant to investigate.
