Can't Sadie & Stella Eat Only Dog Food?

It doesn’t matter what dog food I feed them. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is. It doesn’t matter what the temperature is or if there is snow on the ground. Sometime in the past 6-7 months, Sadie has decided to eat gross stuff in the field anytime she can get the chance. In the past month Stella has picked up on Sadie’s habit and has decided to join the fun.

They started their day like any other day, noses to the ground and off they went. Stella did have to start with a scratch before she could join Sadie. Oblivious to any of my commands to them or hearing their name called. That is the typical bloodhound though, so it’s not a surprise.

Here they are both in the concentration phase of their exploration. They hear nothing.

Glancing through my 200mm lens … sure enough, Sadie is ‘gobbling’ something down fast before I yell at her. She doesn’t know that I can see her and plays it off like nothing happened when she came back to the house.

Stella on the other hand wanted to show me how good she was when her name was called. She forgot to finish her ‘gobbling’ before returning. She also acted innocent and claimed nothing was going on.

We will see how the day progresses here in the ‘tropics’ of Southern Indiana.
