Puppy Stalking


Frodo cannot make up his mind whether he loves or hates Laika. He loves her toys, that's for sure - all of those soft, delicate, plush, puppy squeakie toys just waiting to be gutted. He also loves her puppy food (who are we kidding, Frodo loves anything that is remotely edible.)

Laika is quite the messy eater and every meal she flings food left and right as she shovels through the bowl. Frodo has learned that this makes for some easily snagged kibble. He just sits next to her crate, and waits for kibble to fly out. Sometimes, if she isn't messy enough for his liking he tries reaching in to grab some, however Laika will growl and snap if he gets too annoying about it and knocks her bowl around.



So Frodo waits until we take Laika out for her after meal potty break and then sticks his paws into the crate, working any stray kibbles out of the crate and into his mouth as you can see him doing in the above photo. As intensely as he does this one would think the poor dog is starving, but this is a dog who will eat until he throws up and then try to eat some more. In his mind there is no such thing as "enough" food. How very "terrier" of him.
