We have a wonderful yellow lab named Sooner. He is a faithful and funny, very smart friend. But he is also a country dog. Now remember that labs are bird dogs. That means track them down and retrieve them. He also is a fan of squirrels and protects us from those dangerous critters with great enthusiasm. But then winter weather arrives and he is obligated to protect the birds and squirrels that keep him busy when the temperature is more comfortable.
We have spent many a morning watching the drama on the back deck. We buy a dog food that has large and small pieces. Arrives small birds who carry off the small pieces. When there are no small pieces available the larger birds arrive to literally knock all the large pieces out of the way and open the door for an ongoing feast. Where is Sooner? Sleeping peacefully near by - he knows the food dish will be refilled and there is plenty for all! We tried buying a dog food with one size pieces but Sooner nor the birds are happy with that deal and who are we to mess with the symbiotic relationship between Sooner, the birds and dog food?!?!?!?
