My dog has been refusing to eat his dry food lately. After his bout of Pukinson's Disease (credit for that term goes to Rational Jenn) he got used to eating wet food and rice, so now dry food is just oh-so-dull. He'll wait until he's sure it's the best he's going to get before he'll take a bite.
This morning, he wasn't eating his breakfast, but Jinx, the cat, wanted some. The cat is usually the dominant animal in the house, but when it comes to food, Toby will stand up for himself. So Jinx goes into Toby's crate where his bowl is, and Toby growls and snaps at him. It's a pretty scary sound, coming from a dog who is otherwise completely non-aggressive. Jinx then either runs away, or starts a face off, where they just look at each other until Jinx makes a move, and Toby snaps at him again.
This is all a bit scary to Samantha, who is not used to the dog sounding so mean. After a few rounds, she got fed up and decided to solve the problem. She went to Toby's crate, picked up his bowl, and put it up on top of the crate where neither of them could get to it.
I thought that was pretty darn smart.
