Rusty, Qannik and Kiska ask, "Can we come in and play?"
The weather here Sunday was rain. Steady, cold, non-stop rain. A bored Herd is, well, a challenge, and so we kept inventing games throughout the day.
One of those games you will see later this week – “Pick Your Future Food.” As we mentioned a week or so ago, we are having to choose a new food because of a dog food recall. We have narrowed the choices to Acana, Fromm, and Orijen and have been rotating those three foods to see which one The Herd prefers. To say the choice is close is an understatement.
So, in our rain induced boredom, we set up a trial of 3 bowls of food, release one member of The Herd at a time, and then video the results for everyone to see. As they say, film at 11. Or Wednesday or Thursday depending on how quickly we get the video edits done.

Horrible Hurricane Helene: Why So Bad for WNC?

Hurricane Helene was a monster storm, but the way it hit Western North Carolina couldn’t have been much worse.

His books pay for our food!
Since we feed Buster and Ty a dehydrated dog food from The Honest Kitchen, I’ve convinced them that all kibble is a treat and we buy small bags to use for training rewards. We’ve been trying the Acana for the past week and both of our boys really seem to like it. I’ll be interested to see which food The Herd chooses.
Sounds like a perfect rainy day game. Taste testing is always a good way to pass the time! I don’t know how you resisted those begging eyes.
Couldn’t you just mix all three bags together into a Siberian “cocktail”? Or just serve a portion of each nicely plated at mealtime with perhaps a little chicken heart garnish? Just trying to get the humans thinking outside the box!
we had 3 Sibes in our family in years before me, Savannah…you can see them on my blog…anyways, Mom and Dad lived for a bit in Ohio with the Sibes before coming back to Calif. And, the games they played with their Sibe anifamily back then were totally hilarious…in rain, snow, tornadoes, and on and on…maybe Mom will tell that story some day…very cool
Locked out? In the rain? That’s some kind of abuse!
Can’t wait for the video! Those are the most pathetic faces I have seen in a long time. 🙂
Um, you did let that poor Q-Tip in at least didn’t you? THOSE EYES! How could you deny those eyes?
The Herd is testing for my two too as what I am feeding them now seems to make Maddox itchy. We need to switch fast. My two have no trouble jumping to different foods so am eager to hear your results.
Can’t wait to see vid! I lay my money on Orijen. Although Acana is made by Orijen so it could win too!
Oh, we understand the perils of bored pups here all too well! I’m sure the video will be good!
And to think these dogs find this boring. . .other similar games??? I just can’t wait for the future feature film to see who eats what!
Kisses,
Stella
