It's been one hell of a week, so just a quick tidbit for today.
My husband and I had to make an unexpected trip out of state, so Mona stayed with my husband's parents. I fed her late Thursday morning, and then as soon as we came home on Friday. We ended up getting back later than expected, so I'm sure she was hungry. I hurriedly thawed a 9 ounce chunk of boneless pork shoulder and gave it to her still semi-frozen. Before she had gotten even one chunk of meat sheared off, we had a visitor. I could immediately see the conflict in Mona's eyes... She very much wanted to run to the front door and greet this new person, but she was also hungry and didn't want to abandon her food. So, knowing she was not allowed to take her meat off the towel, but also not wanting to leave her dinner, she chomped that meat MAYBE 6 or 8 times, and swallowed the entire thing whole!!! Then, of course, she made a bee-line for the front door to greet her visitor.
It's a miracle she didn't choke. But I was pretty impressed by her obvious understanding that she could take her food off that towel. :)
