Two Questions
So I have two questions. And I guess they are about quirky behavior....
#1. Is it a Picard thing to walk around and squeak? I am renaming the FG. He will henceforth be called "Squeaky". When Squeaky was a little pup - which seems like a long time ago - I can't remember him being smaller than me - he would squeak when he needed to go out. So my human would take him out. And he still does that when he wants to go out. But he squeaks ALL the time. He will stand in front of the gate to the DFZ, look in and squeak. He will stand by the deck door, look out and squeak. He will lie down in front of Frodo, look at him and squeak. He will sit next to my human while she is eating, stare at her and squeak. And this is NOT because he has not had exercise. He'll do it after he was out for an hour long romp outside. Or after 10 rounds of Find the Bunny. I think he needs to be oiled.
#2. Is there anyone else who inhales food like me? I mean I have always joked that we PONs inhale our food - but I inhale everything edible. Give me a piece of kibble? I inhale it. Give me a piece of banana? Whoosh. Gone. Now Frodo likes to inhale his meals too - but he DOES chew too. About the only thing I chew is apple or carrot. But just one or two bites. While Frodo chews several times and the FG - well he chews and spits. Chews and spits. Until said food item is barely recognizable. But not me. Inhale and gone. Call me Hoover. That's why my human never buys fancy dog biscuits at the bakery. I don't even taste them. I guess the good news is that I don't pick up inedible things like rocks. Now THAT would be a real problem....
So those are my two quirky questions. About Squeaky and Hoover. And then there is Einstein. The big question about him would be how he got so smart. I think he did more homework when he went to Puppy School.
Just think how boring life would be without our quirks....
Have a good one.
