strange new eating ritual

for the last week or so Woody wont eat his dinner off the floor, i can leave it on the floor and he wont touch it. if however i move it onto the low coffee table just above where it is placed on the floor and leave the room he scoots back in and scoffs the lot!!

Is this just woody thinking he is having something he shouldnt be and thinking he is getting one over on me or is he just a bizarre little man???

I know Taz prefere to eat his on a small stool but he is pretty tall, but when i looked into it they creat high off the floor food bowls for tall dogs like whippets and further on to help with digestion and swallowing so the neck isn't bent so much like it usually would be if eating off of the floor..

Why not get a raised bowl stand? I use one with Dempsey - it holds his food and water bowl at a height that means he doesn't have to reach down for his food. It's much more comfortable for them.

sorry i dont think i explained very well.he doesnt stay on the floor to eat it from higher up - he actually jumps onto the table and eats from the same height as if it were on the floor!

Hahaha ahh ok lol i think he is just being awkward then i wouldn't give him the opertunity if i was you he eats it on the floor or not at all he will soon learn.

Good grief, I wouldn't allow that!
