Back in July I posted some photos of our new arrival, blind Sophie, sitting up to try and cajole food from us at the dining table. Well, we noticed she started doing this in her crate at dinnertime, too. (As I've explained before, we feed most of the dogs in their crates to avoid competition and to let everyone eat at their own pace.) Somehow she thinks this sitting up to beg inside her crate just might get her food served faster, or at least served before the others. I took the photo above a couple of nights ago, and then last night Alayne got this shot:
Sophie does know what she's doing — just before taking this photo, we had been over at the big table in the dog wing off to the left dishing up the food, and she could hear us over there and was thus facing in our direction. In the top photo, I had already been handing out the food bowls so she knew that I was in front of her somewhere.
Much to her dismay, though, no matter which direction she's facing, the food doesn't arrive any faster. The wait staff has received several complaints from this particular customer in recent months.
