Feed the dogs in the morning. If one piece of kibble spills out onto the kitchen counter, Jesse knows. She can’t see the countertop from where she is on the floor, but her nose knows. After she eats, she’ll stand in the kitchen and moan. Go there and ask what’s wrong and she’ll run to the closest spot to the counter and look up. Even if you can’t see it at first, keep looking. There will be a piece of kibble there.
If there are two pieces of kibble there and you only give her one and walk away; it’s not over till it’s over. She knows.
