This is what I call a "traffic jam" at the food bowl. When I first got Owen, I put out two food bowls so they each could have their own food source and eat together. Turns out, they didn't like that. They would RARELY eat at the same time. One would eat half of their bowl of food, then the other would go behind the first and finish off that first bowl. Then later on, one of them would start the second bowl and then the other would finish it. It happened over and over, so I just got rid of the second bowl since it became obvious that they wanted to share. So now they take turns - here is Owen patiently waiting his turn to eat after Maggie is done.
What amazes me is that neither dog hogs the food. They each will eat about half the bowl and leave half for the other dog. It is so sweet to me. Here's Owen getting a drink while Maggie eats.
Since I got Owen last Thanksgiving, he has demanded a lot of attention and has needed some training on how we do things at our house. Consequently, Maggie got less attention than she has been used to for the previous 6 years or so. I sometimes feel bad and wonder if they both feel equally loved - I sure hope so. Occasionally, I will do things with just Maggie or just Owen so they get lots of undivided attention.Here's my Maggie girl - WAY too much white coming in on her face and paws......She looks like a little model, posing for me - a little sultry, wouldn't you say?? :)
She looks like my little angel in her white bed. So peaceful......
My sweet baby Maggie - she'll always hold a special place in my heart, as my first dog ever. :)
