Hostile behavior toward the dog

[Buy A Paper Doll]

You know, the first I brought Maggie the Mutt to the house last week, the birds chatter-scolded her every time she came in the room. Now, my dear sweet Melody has resorted to throwing her sugar snap peas at the poor dog as she walks by the cage.

I'm serious. I've caught her twice now.

Do you know how hard it is to get sugar snap peas down here in the summer? They're like $4/pound and she's throwing them at the dog.

Maybe she thinks the dog is hungry. :rofl:

My boss has a BFA that will actually call the dog by name and when he (the dog) comes in the room, he'll throw food to the dog to eat. :rofl:

Doubt it. She picks the peas out and throws the shell. :roll: Milo would never do such a thing. Sugar snap peas are a delicacy to him, not a morsel should be wasted.

Forgot to add, she made kissy noises for the first time today. :happy: I was saying my goodbyes to the birds and the dog this morning, making kissy noises. When I turned around and walked away, she made kissy noises back to me. Very cute. I suspect she's been trying to do it for some time; it explains the wierd clucking noise she makes from time to time because now it sounds just like a kiss.

That's really funny. Does she usually eat the shells? If not, then maybe the dog will eat them.

You could try putting them back in her cage every time she throws them out and maybe she'll get tired of her tirade.

Everytime my birds toss aside the colors they don't like in their pellets, my poodle cleans them up.

Ditto eats the pods. He likes the juicy layer on the inside. I can hear him crunching them in the next room.


Maybe miss melly is saying to the dog, "poor doggie, you don't gotta eat that dry crap mom is giving you, here try these their good!". :rofl:

Milo eats them the same way Ditto does, pod and all. Miss Melly will eat the peas but no pod. She's not as big on them as Milo is. She prefers sweet potato. The dog doesn't eat the discarded snap pea pods, by the way. I don't even think she recognizes them as food!
