Hi, All:
This is Tara, my beloved Rottweiler, and senior citizen. She's going on eleven at the end of November, old for a Rottie, but now old enough to believe she had special privileges--including sneaking cat food off a table.
Prince Charming and I need to feed the two cats, Boo Bear and Samantha on a small table we have in the kitchen. Obviously with three large dogs, Tara, Scruggs and Fina, we can't feed the cats on the floor, or there would never be any food left in their dishes. This has worked well for many years, until now.
It seems that Tara has learned that she is tall enough to rest her nose on the small table, and if the dishes are close enough to the edge, she can use her tongue to scoop the food out of the dishes, or use her nose to push the dry food onto the floor. However, until today, we never knew she was doing it--we just thought the cats were getting fat eating too much.
It appears, that she has learned to sneak. Yes, my Rottweiler has learned to redirect our attention away from the table to the water dish on the floor. She knows the prince hates it when she drinks water then rubs her face on his jeans. Now she goes to the water dish, takes a drink, and turns around to see if we are looking. If we are, she veers away and comes back to the dish. Today, the prince caught her act out of the corner of his eye. When Tara thought he wasn't looking, she swiped her tongue across the table, and walked away munching on goodies from the cat's table.
Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky dog! But how can you not love a dog like that?
Lots of Rottweiler love,
Mary de la Pena
