Last night I came home after a long day at work and got
ready to feed my dog. I had bought a new dog food to try that was supposed to
be healthy and for older dogs. I opened it and filled her bowl. Then I saw it,
all different colors. I thought here we go. You see, before when her dog food
was different colors she would pick certain ones out and lay them on the floor
and not eat them. After she was done I would clean up the mess. Well sure
enough she started to pick out certain colors and lay them on the floor. My first
reaction after a long day was to feel a little perturbed. Then I paused for a
moment and thought what if I petted her while she was eating, maybe she would
associate the good feeling with the eating and do something different. I gently
petted her and saw her tail begin to wag as she was eating, so I knew I was not
disturbing her. I did this for a minute or two and walked away. When I came
back a few minutes later, to my surprise, she had eaten all of her food, even
the ones she had picked out and laid on the floor. Then I thought, maybe love
makes all the colors look good.
