      For all his training, he was given the bowl about 30 minutes later. He nibbled at it for a while, the went to sleep for the rest of the day. I put it back up on the shelf or else his sister would have emptied the thing.

      @@hughofIreland Probably tempted by (their stronger sense) of smell as we are like baked goods or coffee in the air. A taste may be enough - or just put it away and take out of sight and possibly scent and take the poor pooch out or his misery :). I suspect they will find, though it is plain normal variation I suspect, that dogs too have taste and meal variation preferences. And some remain Oscar worthy.

      @@jiffjiffernson7292 It turns out that his daily demand has nothing to do with eating; it’s all about dominance. If I put the bowl down, he’ll just sniff it and walk away. I can put identical food into a third bowl and place it in the eating rack; he’ll ignore it and try and get me to give him the covered bowls.

    My Mom locked herself out of the house one day having left her dinner on the coffee table.
    A cousin drove her to my office to borrow my keys and when she got home an hour later my German shepherd was standing by the coffee table and hadn't touched the dinner: steak, potatoes, and green beans.
    Mom knew what a good boy he had been and she rewarded him with her meal, helping herself to a PBJ instead.
    That was one smart dog to pay that dumb.

      My 1st Dog and rescue she was a German Shepherd and she stole a friend’s last couple of slices of pizza when she went to the loo, she was gone 2 minutes at most all was silent and the pizza box was still intact and on the coffee table and she opened the lid and the pizza was gone, and not a scrap of evidence, a Girlfriend was staying at mine minding her when I was in another state Stage managing a show for 3 weeks, and she had a mate of mine around and she cooked a roast lamb , she had left it on the bench overnight as it was winter and in the morning there was no sign that the roast lamb ever existed just an empty and clean oven tray on the bench😂. My next German Shepherd she stole a cooked sausage that was sitting on an open oven door on the tray, while my mate and I were standing there talking, she waited until we were distracted and then she looked like Groucho Marx with a cigar hanging out of her mouth, it was pretty funny the sneaky bugger. 😂

Just as he lifted the piza toward his mouth, there was a flash of silver and black (elkhound breed standard colors) anf the dog was at the other end of the sofa licking her lips, not a crumb of pizza left. and my friend's hand was in position to continue the bite of pizza.

      I'm remembering my old Bullmastiff American bulldog X Earl. Best boi ever. We'd left two NY strips on the counter getting to room temp to cook. Thought they were away from the edge, but opened the kitchen door just in time to see Earl's flews slurping the last one down. 😅
      The guilt on his face was funny and awful, poor guy.
      He was an angel and, looking back, there weren't enough great big steaks in his life.
      Tho I've been veggie for years now, hey. Those big pups have a design flaw in their too brief lifespans.

      @@executioner_ecgbert884 I suppose it’s true, but Irish Wolfhounds are programmed to please, so if there’s a behavior that you don’t like it’s relatively easy to erase. The only caveat is that the first year or so is pretty critical. Habits are hard to fix.
      One example is that the dogs aren’t allowed to wake me at night-unless it’s a real emergency. Other than getting mad and the mirroring what they do (go from zero to sixty and rapidly back to zero), they all learned not to do it. It’s funny. They’ll stand and stare at me sleeping for an hour if needed, gently nudging in, breathing on me and backing away. It’s quite stunning how gentle they can be.

    My clever labradoodle has trained her dim human. She rides shotgun around town, and after a lot of patient work she trained me to pet her when the waves her right forepaw (initially thought it meant "hold my paw" but after a lot of pitying looks I got past that). Next step was easier: lifting her left forepaw and pointing the elbow at means "rub my tummy". When I get it right my reward is a careful cleaning of the back of my hand, with special attention to any healing cuts I may have.

    I saw the name Bu on the thumbnail/description and the name caught my attention, as I was thinking that maybe it was from the periodic table of elements -- Bu (Butlerovium)
    I have an eight year old Golden Retriever I named AU, AU, sounds a little like 'hey you', and that is what most people hear, when I tell them his name, but on the periodic table of elements, the name for gold is Au : )
    When I tell folks that, they love it, given AU is a golden. And upon a few rare occasions I didn't even have to explain it...I've had a couple of guys who were into 'gold' via panning for it or metal detectors and one guy was a science teacher...lol.
    Anyway, again your dog's name caught my attention as 2-letter names are not common for pets. And my first reaction was Bu might be an element but also pronounced like I do with my own dog...in which case Bu would sound like 'Be you' rather than boo : )
