Whenever Alayne is in the kitchen cooking up the big batches of home-cooked food for the dogs, she always has an audience of fans waiting — just hoping! — for bits of potatoes or hamburger to fall off the counter as she's mixing the food together. She took these photos on Sunday of blind Goldie and Dexter standing patiently by as the mixer worked away. Holly was behind her and Fuzzy was just off to the left. Please note Dexter's flickering tongue. As I write this, I can hear the mixer going in the kitchen downstairs, and I know she is surrounded by a similar scene.
When Goldie's patience wears thin, she adopts a more direct approach — she presses her nose into Alayne's leg ("this will get her attention!") and holds this position until a morsel if forthcoming:
Goldie actually is applying what she learned overhearing us talk about the "pressure and release" method of training horses. Seems to work with people, too.
