Dahlia goes "fishing"

[crysania]

I had leftover fish from my dinner the other night. So before leaving the restaurant I removed all the breading from it and split it into several smaller pieces. I usually give her a little of it as a treat when I get home and then mix it in with her kibble for her dinner meal. But this time I decided it might be kind of fun to get pictures of her as I toss each piece to her.

Now here's the thing: Dahlia used to not even attempt to catch food. You would throw it at her and she'd let it bounce off her face and then grab it off the floor. So I started to teach her to at least try to catch it. She's AWFUL at it. Her technique consists of opening and closing her mouth rapidly several times and hoping for the best. SERIOUSLY. To add to the problem, I have no aim.

Here are some of the photos I got. I think it may be my funniest set of photos of Dahlia ever.


Ooo Mom, what do you have there?

OMG FISH!

I love fish!!

SPIT STRINGS FTW!

I probably threw this one over her head. lol

The only piece that had breading left on it. I couldn't get it off!

BUGGY EYES!

These are hilarious!

She's very pretty, even with the buggy eyes and spittle.

Great shots and beautiful doggie!

My favorite has to be the blurry fish flying right towards her perfectly in focus expectant face.

She's cute slobber and all.

She's gorgeous <3

Rosey just closes her eyes real tight til it hits her on the face, and then whines until you pick it up off the floor and give it to her (cause god forbid she eat from the floor )

LOL. These are fantastic. This one is definitely my favorite though.

Tipper can't catch either - however, she can open and shut her mouth three times before whatever treat left my hand hits the ground. The *POP POP POP* is enough to keep most people from tossing things to her. Lol.

The "pop pop pop" sound cracks me up! Dahlia makes that sort of smacking sound when she does this too.

Thanks everyone!
