    It’s like when I give my dog a hardboiled egg and either he swallows it on one gulp or I find bits of yolk all over the house.

        That’s exactly what he does.

        Usually he sheepishly accepts with a soft jaw and walks over to his spot under the kitchen table where he’ll lick it and savor it for a bit before he chomps down and eats the whole thing, and he’s usually pretty good about cleaning up after himself.

        But sometimes he takes it to-go, and starts chewing while he walks away.

        That’s when there’s trouble. He’s not very good at walking and chewing eggs at the same time.

            There was a good long while when he’d try to take a drink of water from his bowl to-go, too. I dunno how he did it. I didn’t think dogs were capable. But he’d just like get a slosh of water and hold it in his mouth and just let it leak out as he giddily pranced about the kitchen.

            Dogs are the best.

              This is how the stray I took in let me know she preferred eating outside. She picked up her bowl in her teeth and left a trail of beef chunks across the house, carrying the bowl outside to her preferred spot. We’ve agreed on eating outside when it’s nice and inside when it’s wet.
