The Food Thieves
Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 7:41 pm
After years of ignoring the cat food bowls sitting high on the mantle on the left, Stuart had started jumping up on the crates and climbing a series of steps, that an additional small crate and the dog food containers provided, straight up to the bowls. The pictures were taken right after they came inside following my reorganizing the crate area and moving the food tubs to the right.
First Blondie starts barking to let me know that Stuart is doing something/going somewhere she knows dogs aren't suppose to go. Stuart says who me, I'm not doing nothing. By now he has figured out the jig is up.
Then Blondie figures out that she can jump up there too....now.
She figures out that the lid on the dog food is not going to open up for her.
She figures out that the ledge is too high and too narrow to jump up here.....
And you can see her brain doing the math on her chances of getting across this gap and reaching any of the goods.
And then Stuart goes back up and tries to communicate to me the need to change things back the way they were. Like, "Really Mom I got the joke....now you can move those neat step tubs back."
