| What a great story. I am pleased to find out my girl Inka is not the only one who likes to leisurely enjoy her food lying down. She will pull the bowl over to her as well. Then dump the contents. For some reason food off the floor tastes better.

You have a nice pug - Boomer will prob be eaten by the Pyr some day! lolOn Sat, Mar 6, 2010 at 4:55 AM, <bailey.amy@myfairpoint.net> wrote: My three dogs normally have three food bowls and one huge water bowl lined up next to each other and feeding time is calm. The pug usually waits till the two Pyrs are done but if he sees an opportunity, he will jump in early. I had some leftover mashed potatoes and gravy after dinner and dumped it in one bowl when I thought no one was watching, intending to add to it and then divide among the three bowls. Harry Pugger saw this and ran over – he got a few bites before the Pyrs noticed and both came over. Harry retreated and both Sweetie and Charlie stuck their noses into the bowl. I thought this could be interesting and stopped to watch. No problem - the two just munched cheek to cheek. Charlie likes to enjoy his food lying down so took his nose out, maneuvered around to a comfortable spot, then reached over with his paw to pull the bowl over to him as he always does. Sweetie’s nose was still in the bowl so she did not miss a lick and just walked a long with it until it was close enough to Charlie for him to resume his munch. It was only about a cup of mashed potatoes and a few tablespoons of gravy but it was the best entertainment at my house for us all.
