Are your pets mentally stable?

[Kev]

I recon your dog maybe thinks that if the food is given to them on a plate or in a bowl, that it belongs to the other dog..... Like it waits for your other dog to finish and then will lick the bowl at the end....
So you may just have to always chuck it on the ground now... Until the other one comes over again and says "hey what are you doing dumb ass? the food on the ground is mine too!"
then you're really screwed...

See that would make sense if this dog was timid in the slightest. Like five years ago I was grilling steaks with some friends and we put the plate on the table, turned around for a minute and she went flying out into the backyard with a ribeye in her mouth. And the other dog is her daughter and if anything is the timid one. I think she's just losing it a bit.

I agree totally with Diz actually. I think in her old age she has become subserviant to the other dog and now thinks of food in a bowl as belonging to him. Just stick the food on the floor when the other dog isn't around.

Also, if the other dog tries to eat her food, make sure you whip and beat him in front of her so she can see you are on her side.
