Samuel's first meal in his new home was less about the food and more about the food bowl. Thinking he'd appreciate the gesture, we bought him a decorative mat to place beneath his bowls, which we hoped would go some way in helping to limit the wide trajectory of his kibble. It turned out that this mat had a mischievous way of causing the bowl to slide, and it was on this first occasion of slippage that Samuel found his voice.
"Yelp! Yelp! Whine...whine...whine...and then run away!"
And so it continued, inching up to the food bowl after each vocal display of confusion, gulping a few morsels down before shuffling backwards on his rump.
We've since removed the mat and Samuel has come to learn the harmlessness of his bowls. He now eagerly gobbles down breakfast, lunch and supper without a second thought.
Nothing can come between a Pug and his food!
