As I look at my wonderful dog this evening, I can't help but wonder if she's happy getting the same dry dog food every day. She eats it readily, and it's good for her, but...we as humans have a varied diet. We eat different foods nearly every day, and every meal. The sights, smells, and textures are always different. The dog's food is the same, day after day, after day.
Of course she hovers around us during diner, but she gets no table scraps, ever. She will eventually go eat her dog food, but is she wondering why it doesn't smell like the rest of the room? Is she jealous? Does she resent us for not giving her some of what we're eating? Sometimes when we do put food in her plate, that's not the standard dog food fare, she is slow to pick it up and eat it. She used to take it outside and bury it. Maybe because her previous home didn't let her eat whenever she wanted?
Hard to say, but she's a happy dog. So Andy, what's your dog eating on Day 37?
