It’s only when you are doing something totally absurd, that you think is totally normal, you remember exactly who you are.
Today I came home from work to find ants in the dog food bowl. No good. I mean, good because that means it’s finally warmed up after what seemed like an eternal winter. Bad because I don’t want my little dog friend eating ants! So as I was filling up the pan with water, I thought about how crazy I may look to an observer.
I “invented” this method a few years ago, first using a plate then graduating to a pan. The water obviously created a moat-like barrier that keeps the ants away from the food. Stash-dog doesn’t seem to mind the pan or the water.
Yes there is a Brooklyn beer box raising his food off of the ground, I do work at a bar. Stash-dog used to lay down to eat his food, and I thought it was because it hurt him to stretch his neck all the way down to the floor. I raised his food and he appears as if he is a happy boy. You can buy contraptions that exist for this purpose specifically, but I am not in the habit of paying money for things that I can make myself.
Lastly, the ants will try to crawl around the water bowl. I suppose food particles from Stash-dog’s slimy little dog mouth get on his water bowl and the ants try to eat it. That’s why I put the water bowl in the pan of water too.
Buh-bye ants.
