I could hear the dog food rattle in the bowl, so I turn on the camera and waited for Digger to walk by. Then I snapped a picture of him taking his dinner to the livingroom.
I don't know how (or why) he does this. Somehow he hooks the lip of the bowl with his teeth on the side of his mouth, and the bowl just hangs there.

Your two boys crack me up! I love Digger's ear markings! Very unique.

I'm lucky to get the camera on in time, let alone get the video camera ready. I never know when he'll do it. They go hours without eating at times.

What are you watching on TV? That might explain the why.

How much does he spill on the way?

I've had dogs take mouthfuls of food a little bit away form the bowl and eat over a carpet or something. I've also had dogs rattle the bowl around when they wanted food or water.

He's taken the bowl outside through 2 dog doors, down stairs, across the yard and not spill any. Then he goes across the kitchen, and will dump half the food out.
