Why is it that Mr H has to make a drama out of everything? AS that's why I guess. Still drives me nuts though.
We have had a dog for 7 years now, we have had 2 dogs for the past 2 weeks. They are fine, dog 2 has fitted into dog 1's routine very nicely, it's just that Mr H is struggling with the slight change.
I normally wake up early in the morning, 6am ish, so I get up, let the dogs out and feed them. Sometimes I go back to bed, sometimes I sit downstairs with a cup of tea. Feeding them is a bit of a hassle because they have different foods, but we are lucky enough to gave a utility room where the dog food is stored, and can be dispensed. I have a routine, I boil the kettle ( because Molly has warm water with her food), get them both clean water, get both food bowls filled in the utility room, add a drop of warm water to one, give to dogs, job done.
Mr H likes to feed them in the evening. I watched him today.......he hovered over the feeding bowls......"I'm not sure how to do this...... I think I'll do the water first...."
"Good idea" I muttered.
Having completed the first task, he then got both food bowls and took them into the kitchen. Then he went to the utility room and collected 2 scoops of dry food for one dog, and a different scoop for the other. Then he went to the fridge and took Sally's wet food to the kitchen. Then he went back to the utility room and collected Sally's tablets and medicine and took to the kitchen. Then he assembled both dog bowls and gave to the dogs. Then he took the scoops, tablet and medicine bottles back to the utility room. I timed him. What takes me a couple of minutes, took him 6.
"Blimey" he said as the dogs were eating " it's exhausting"
"Well" I said " you certainly do it the long way round, why don't you get the food ready in the utility room?"
" Don't be so ridiculous" he snapped " I've always done it this way, there's no other way to feed
them"!!
Back to my simple way at 6am tomorrow, and my way all next week as he's away with work - hooray!!
I wonder what the dogs think??
