This time she was barking an alert to her family to make us aware that someone she didn't know was trying to get into our house. Today I saw Lady eating. She would put her pay into her food bowl before she started eating. Then, I gave her a hot pepper to eat. She sniffed at it, and then started barking and refused to eat the pepper.
Dogs are pretty smart.
When Lady woudl eat out of her bowl, the bowl would slide around and she had a hard time getting the food out. She learned that she could hold the bowl still with her front paw and eat her food at the same time. I also learned that dogs will not eat spicy food. When she was unsure of the pepper's smell, she expressed herself by barking. Day 4 When Lady was getting tired, she walked into her kennel.
