Suki was in the mood to snack when I came home from work. I fed her 1 slice of buttered toast, from some nice Clasen's bakery rosemary bread. She liked this so well that we next progressed to dog biscuits. She accepted each one, from the relatively dangerous position of coming close to the hissing and crouching Ned, and retreated two rooms away to the firplace rug to eat each one. Ned scared Suki a couple of times by hissing, and she held the dog biscuit in her mouth until he darted outside. She then balanced the doggie bisbuit between her paws and ate it very daintily. She kept returning, smiling and wagging and following me around, until I had fed her 6 biscuits!
I really figured that would be enough, since it was more than she often eats for days at a time, but Suki was really in the mood to eat by that time. I decided that since we had no dog food, and she never eats dog food at our house anyway because it's not just like home and not the way that Mom does it, to cook her a proper dinner.
It was a fine evening. The termperature was 82 degrees, after a rather rainy and muggy day, and I set up the Weber grill on the patio and made a hamburger. Suki came outside with me, and continued her wagging / smiling / chop licking routine while the burger was being cooked. When it was ready, I ate half and Suki ate half, the bun this time! She was still very interested in food, so I cooked a hotdog and fed it to her the same way. I think she would have eaten still more, but I decided she had had enough at that point.
With Suki, it's feast of famine - literally!
We then took a small trip to the car wash and the grocery store, coming home via Ski Hill road to give Suki a chance to hang her head out the window.
Here's a photo from when Avinash was vacuuming out the car at the car wash. Suki and I took a small walk on the clover lawn at the bank.
