No event is more important in our daily lives than supper time, unless maybe breakfast time. Either way, we share it for this week’s Film Friday.
One question we always get is why we feed in crates. We believe the dinner should be eaten at our own pace, without worry that a neighbor might try to steal our food. Sure, we have all been taught “Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Kibble,” but when your bowl has been polished clean, sometimes you can forget those rules.
Don’t worry, as soon as everyone is finished, we are back to romping through Sibe Quentin.
We hope you enjoy this week’s Film Friday production of Supper Time!

A Kibble Jar
Call it a tip. Or the euphemestic "Buy me a coffee." Or, in our case, "Buy us some kibble." Hu-Dad prefers patronage. Generous patrons have supported artists throughout history.

Hu-Dad's Latest Musing
Our Hu-Dad shares the latest updates on his writing projects, the books he's reading, and other details in random musings posted on his website. You can check out his novels there as well.
Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

His books pay for our food!
What order do you feed in? Is it by the pack’s dominance hierarchy? I used to have 2 dogs, and I learned to feed the dominant one first. She also got petted first, put in the car first, leashed first, etc.
I’m surprised they weren’t barking. My Schneagle (beagle/miniature schnauzer mix) tends to let me know if meals are late. Just to keep me on schedule.
More or less, oldest to youngest EXCEPT Typhoon is the first of the juniors to get fed. That stems back to his finickiness in eating and trying to give him the maximum eating time. Fortunately, he is eating well now, but no need to change the order.
(Part of the reason we feed in crates is to avoid dominance issues around food).
You’ve discussed a couple of different special menus for specific pups. How many meals are specific out of the six?
Right now, we are quite fortunate that the base meals are all the same.
Typhoon takes 3 pills each morning, but he is such a devious character (sucking pills out of peanut butter and hiding them under his crate) that he gets the pills one by one, down the throat, and with a check of his mouth after. Poor guy.
Everyone over the age of 6 gets a Synovi G-4 supplement at dinner (which means – shockingly – that Typhoon will start that in January).
Qannik gets arthritis medicine with all of his meals.
And, finally, sometimes Cheoah gets a spoonful of WD can food mixed because her stomach sometimes gets a little upset.
I love the dinner dance of Typhoon and Frankie!!
Mom sez: I love how they are all so patient, and well-behaved while waiting for their turn. Even the “newest” members of the Herd. Did it take long for them to learn “patience”?
We are known to mumble about the slowness of food delivery.
