Food Wars
Cheyenne guarded her dish all night and delighted in taunting Dixie with her food. When Dixie walked by, Cheyenne took a few pieces in her mouth, laid down facing Dixie, and spit the pieces out of her mouth. Concerned that Dixie couldn’t actually see said pieces of food, She made a point of picking them up in her mouth again, tossing her head around several times, and then, you guessed it, spitting the pieces of food out directly in front of Dixie but out of Dixie’s reach. She didn’t need English to convey her message–it was crystal clear: this is mine and not yours and don’t you wish you could have what is mine? I could practically hear her singing “nah nah nah nah nah.” This went on for several minutes, and at one point Cheyenne became insecure and began nibbling on her leg (“corncobbing”) to try and relax. Dixie began woofing. Woofing soon escalates to barking, which only gets louder and louder, so I removed the dish. We were laughing so hard, we were almost crying.
