Apart from more techical problems (now resolved) the rest of the day consisted of:
Feeding station Pete and Bren's garden - badger caught red handed on video! Left the banana alone. So badgers and foxes leave bananas. Useful to know. Some dogs do, some don't.
Kennel lower end Green lane - food untouched
Kennel middle Green lane - all gone except banana. Evian bottle dropped nearby. Is this Sky or is there a careless dog walker enjoying the free food and dropping litter? Can't put camera on this as too visible and likely would get stolen.
So only twice has the food all gone, licked clean, banana included. Both daytimes. Therefore either Sky or another omnivorous dog.
Phone call while at work from Newbold Verdon. Got close enough to see no scar. Description matched George the wandering labrador of Barlestone. Not known him stray that far so advised caller to call his owners and if in doubt, the dog warden. Ladies on our switchboard had to call back to see if it was Sky as they were desperate to know!

So, does Sky usually eat bananas then? Have the bananas ever been eaten/taken? What is Sky's favourite food in the whole wide world?
ReplyDeleteTop favourite food is a tough call between bananas and fish, as treats, although I've never put one of those next to normal meat to see which he'd go to first. So in the bowls we have a delicious plat du jour of gravy bones (Pedigree), pilchards in tomato sauce, a banana, and on lots of people's advice, trip sticks.
ReplyDeleteYum!
Several times everything except the banana has gone. Twice the whole lot has gone and bowl licked clean, Sky style.
What we don't know about is behaviour in the wild and maybe the penchant for things like banana is reduced. I can't imagine a Sky leaving a banana, but we've learned that at this time we can't make the normal assumptions about behaviour.
That's why it's good to know foxes and badgers don't eat banana. I'd love to do a straw poll of dogs
