- My sweet jealous dog Uma started eating the dog food I had set for the lost dog. She’s not particularly fond of dry dog food unless she has to eat it, and she knows she eats home and not out in the street. So I called her to leave the food alone, and she would walk towards me. But as soon as she turned around to check and saw the dog eating the food, she returned to get him out of the food and start eating herself —I guess to show him who the boss is! She did it five or six times. I was laughing so hard —still laughing as I’m writing this— of how ridiculously jealous she got! This dog is taller and a lot younger than Uma and could fight her if he’d chose to, but he understands his place in the hierarchy and let her have the food.
So she finally follows me leaving the food behind; but then the dog also follows us to tag along also leaving the food behind! LOL
Above all, today I learned that dogs are more pack members and follow their leader more than eating food. One of the reasons I love dogs :) - I finally got a reply from the dog association in Puebla, and they’ll be happy to work with me to find the dog’s owners —or see about adoption— as long as I cooperate a bit further with them with the dog. I’ll be happy to, because now I feel I’m not alone in this.
- I helped my good friends to set up their garden and gave them further instructions on how to plant seeds following the square-foot-gardening technique. I also told them to plant in steps; I had given them that all my seed packets so they got ahead with them, but today I found that they were ecstatic that the 20-something broccolis they had planted had sprouted all! We all had a laugh after I explained the practicality of planting say four broccolis this week, another four in a couple weeks, and so on… I’m liking working with them in their garden, not only because they’re of my best friends, but also as a substitute of the garden I won’t be having this year.
See more progress on: enjoy life
