Ray, Creature of Habit

Ray has developed a tried-and-true method of eating his dog food:

• Stand directly outside of kitchen door with head cocked and ears deployed in Dumbo mode while mom dispenses kibble into bowl.

ALTERNATIVELY

• Stand with head jammed between mom and kitchen counter while food is dispensed into bowl

THEN

• Sit next to eating area after food is dispensed into bowl; wait patiently for bowl to be placed on floor
• Begin to eat kibble
• Hear cat food dishes hit the counter
• Abandon dog food and dribble kibble across the floor to check out cat food dishes
• Lick fork after mom puts prescription food in Hugo's dish VARIATION lick empty can until every last micron of food is gone
• Return to kibble
• Hear pop top being pulled on Moonie's food
• Abandon dog food and dribble kibble across the floor to lick cat food can lid for Moonie's food
• Lick fork after mom puts food in Moonie's dish
• Return to kibble
• Eat dribbled kibble off of floor when mom taps floor with finger at all the bits and pieces scattered hither and yon
• Return to kibble
• Finish kibble and try to sneak food out of cat food dishes before mom carries them away to feed Moonie and Hugo

Ray has found this to be a fairly effective method of eating his breakfast and dinner so he doesn't vary the methodology.
