I hope your pups don't react to Ruebens like my hubby!
We have a practice called 'last bites' and if our pups 'mind their manners' while we eat, they each get a tiny bite of something (if what we're eating isn't pup friendly we scramble an egg). They learn pretty quick.
With the 2 new pups (never had 2 at once before, fun and hectic) it's proving to be a little harder training them to this. Especially Phoebe. Anyway, hubby made brown rice and chicken for dinner and I sat aside a bite of chicken for each pup. I dole out according to age, old man Bear is always first. While I was giving him his bite Phoebe decided she didn't want to wait, she's next to last, and jumped from the floor right into my plate! Food went everywhere but she held her ground and gobbled up what little was left in my plate before I even knew what was happening. She had rice all in her fur, and you know how that stuff sticks when it starts getting cold. I sat her on the floor to get a bath ready, when I came back to get her she was getting a community bath, all the other pups were around her eating the rice out of her fur! I guess they were gonna get that 'last bite' no matter where it came from. |
