Gretel, I mean, Cheyenne

I think by now we’ve established that Cheyenne is a little weirdo. Should you need proof, please visit here and here. I’ve written in the past about how she has started to play odd little games with her dinner. She is beginning to “save” most of her dinner so she can herd the other animals-dogs and cats, away from her food dish. The herding thing is quite new, this used to only happen outside. Perhaps she is part Australian cattle dog after all.

Apparently merely herding the other animals away from her dish lacked challenge and excitement. While she has always been a messy eater, she has begun to leave food everywhere. This began 2 days ago and I really hoped it was a fluke. It wasn’t. We now have the standard half-chewed pieces not only around her dish but in at least 4 additional piles throughout the entire house, often with a trail between the piles. Was she afraid she might lose her way? IO thinks this is the best thing ever, and follows the trail of crumbs, quickly inhaling the food along the way. I can just see her thinking, “Pinch me, I must be dreaming!”
