Feed The Dog

Emma

Currently, Sydney’s most favorite activity in the world is feeding Emma. If it were solely up to her, she would feed Emma at least five times a day. She has always been oddly fascinated with how Emma physically sustains herself, watching intently as she gobbles down her kibble and playing with/trying to drink from Emma’s water bowl (way too often for my liking). Hence, the baby gate around poor Emma’s food area for the longest time. It was only recently that Sydney’s physical capacity has matched her desire to play a larger part in Emma’s life.

The whole process just tickles me to no end, and I love-love-love watching her proudly pick up Emma’s food bowl, which is actually larger than her head, walk over to the dog food bin, fill it with a half-cup of food (with just a wee bit of assistance), then bring the bowl back to Emma’s placemat, and set it down. Smiling the whole time. Feeding the dog is such a mundane part of Mr. T and my days, but it brings so much pure joy to Sydney’s day that it’s now an event I look forward to everyday.
