We wanted to celebrate Joe Stains and had Hamburger Sunday yesterday. Once again the puppies have proven training works and Pavlov was right.
I got them two Wendy's cheeseburgers and put them on plates...
'what is this thingy here on this plate?
smells like sompin good...
Then I broke the burgers up...
what this here on this plate...
looks familiar...
Ok so since the pups were wee babies they've never had people food either on a plate (God forbid their Papi would roll around in his grave if he had one!!!) or by hand. If they get anything like that it's in their food dish. So I can leave food on a plate on an end table and not worry. ever. Which comes to Pavlov.
They're so conditioned (trained) not to take food off a plate that they wouldn't eat the hamburgers!!! Either one of them. So I broke up the burger ... Noper ... 'You said we couldn't Mommy.'
Finally I scraped it into their dishes and wolf dere it is!!! They were like rabid dogs.
WHAT IS THIS? THIS GOLDEN DELICIOUSNESS? WHY HAVE WE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE? NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM ......
So two things: 1st - my dogs are very well trained 2nd - I'm an idiot. I very well could have destroyed 8 years of training by trying to make them eat people food off a plate, with my blessing no less.
When the realization hit me I laughed but man... Idiot I R 1...
