Samantha sleeping in bowl

Cindy got this photo of blind Samantha in her crate after eating dinner at Widget's House.  She noticed that as soon as Samantha had finished eating, she got very quiet … and when Cindy looked inside the crate, she found Samantha sound asleep with her face in the food bowl. 

We feed the dogs in their crates to give each one the opportunity to eat at their own speed.  This way the slow eaters don't feel any competition from the fast eaters, and the pushy ones don't get a chance to steal food from the meek ones.  It makes for an orderly, chaos-free way to feed 20 dogs in one room.  It also gives dogs who want to fall asleep with their faces in their food bowls the chance to do that, too.

    Awwww! She looks so sweet. Sometimes it’s just easier to sleep right where you are then get up & give Steve your dish to wash!

    Thanks for your blog. It is wonderful to see silly things and situations that make one say “awww, ain’t that cute” once in awhile. I appreciate your hard and heartfelt work as well as your humor. I look forward to reading/seeing your blogs as soon as they are posted. 🙂

    It might not work to sleep in your food plate at a restaurant but it sure is appropriate at home!
