Dog Wants To Show Owner How He Eats Kibble in Adorable Video
Sometimes dogs adapt unique eating habits that make them all the more cute. In one such Instagram video, a Chihuahua puppy named Ernie shows the dog owner how he eats his kibble one at a time. His adorable way of chomping on his food leaves the pet parent laughing. In the caption, the uploader questions viewers, 'Anyone else's dog grab a piece of kibble then brings it over to you to eat?' Dog comes running to owner every time he starts eating kibble In an adorable Instagram video, a dog owner shows how her Chihuahua, Ernie, has a unique eating habit when it comes to kibble. It begins with the dog running to his crate and bringing one kibble at a time to the pet parent. He does not bring the treat to give it to his dog mom, but to show her how he eats it. Moreover, he makes cute munching noises while eating a single kibble in the clip. Ernie repeats the process multiple times before he grabs two kibbles that stick to each other. Although he initially brings the treat to the owner, the puppy drops it once he hops onto the carpet. Then, he tries to separate the kibbles, but his efforts go in vain. It seems the pet doesn't like eating more than one treat at a time. Explaining the same, the pet parent explains in the caption: 'Ernie will sometimes carry two pieces of kibble in his mouth but then drops one to eat only one kibble at a time.' The owner finds it 'cute.' Meanwhile, viewers found the video absolutely adorable, as they shared their opinions in the comments. A user wrote, 'Sweetest crunch I've ever heard,' while another lovingly said, 'Omg what a baby.' One individual commented, 'Chiwawas do that, they wanna eat wherever you are, and wait for you to stay at one place and then start eating.' Many found Ernie's habit relatable and shared the stories of their pets. Netizens also called the furbaby 'cute' and 'adorable.' Since the upload, the video has garnered over 26k likes and 215k views. The post Dog Wants To Show Owner How He Eats Kibble in Adorable Video appeared first on DogTime. Solve the daily Crossword

EXCLUSIVE I needed 37 stitches to my face after a brutal dog attack… here is what my recovery process was REALLY like
A woman who needed 37 stitches to her face after suffering a brutal dog attack has lifted the lid on her recovery process. When Jillian Osbourne, 48, was bitten by a dog at the pet store where she worked part-time, she did not realize just how serious the injury was. 'This was not a vicious or deadly attack,' she said. 'This was an anxious dog who snapped. I was approaching the group from behind and it startled him. He jumped up, snapped my mouth.' Initially, Jillian thought the pain was from her teeth - which were still healing from a previous injury - and it wasn't until the dog's owner pointed out she was bleeding that the reality sank in. 'It hurt, but I think the shock distorted the pain for a moment. My senses and emotions were confused,' she said. 'Just before this, I noticed I was really hungry, and after the bite, I started to fixate on eating dinner... I think trivial things helped me feel the situation was manageable.' Still bleeding, Jillian locked up the store, put a sign on the door, and tried to go about business as usual - until the worried customer called her husband to help. 'He was obviously concerned, but considering I wasn't "mauled" or worse, relieved to know this would be a matter of healing,' she said. 'He took me straight to the emergency room and stayed with me the whole time.' That night, Jillian received the stitches to her face - but the recovery was far from straightforward. Within days, her lips turned black from bruising, the top layer of her skin peeled off, and she developed a painful lump above her lip - which turned out to be an embedded stitch that had been missed and caused an infection. 'Stitches need to be removed at the right time, when the wound is stable and before the skin starts to regenerate, growing over the stitch,' Jillian said. 'What I thought was a tiny piece of scab in one of the stitch holes turned out to be a missed piece.' Despite these complications, Jillian says she felt fully supported by her medical team. 'The doctor who did my stitches was extremely patient and should've been a tailor. His work was precise,' she said. 'I continued visits with my regular GP, who always gives wonderful care. In truth, I feel lucky for such a lovely team.' But that didn't make the emotional toll any lighter. 'Life was hard,' Jillian recalled. 'My injury is rather insignificant in terms of what damage could have occurred... I am happy by nature and love to laugh. The pain from stretching my lips to smile was too much. I felt anguish from a lack of self-expression, which made me feel ugly inside and out.' People stared at her in public. She struggled with basic daily tasks, like eating or bending forward. And just as her career as a yoga instructor was gaining momentum, she had to put it all on pause. 'I send my heart to anyone with any type of injury, challenge, or chronic illness that limits their comfort or happiness,' she shared. Eventually, when the nerve pain began to subside, Jillian slowly started moving again - and turned to the one practice she knew could help both body and spirit. 'I stumbled across face yoga when I searched for ways to reduce the stress and anxiety,' she said. 'I was looking for cranial massage techniques I could perform on myself and the face yoga method seemed like a good option.' She began with gentle exercises around the holidays, months after the injury, using breath and small movements to ease back into her routine. 'By the end of the month, the nerve pain started to dissipate, and the muscles appeared more plump,' she said. 'I finally added massage and rubbing techniques, which I credit to erasing the stitch marks.' Today, Jillian has full movement in her lips, no scar tissue buildup, and says her main scar is barely noticeable. But more importantly, she's found a deeper sense of intention. 'I became more intentional. I stopped treating my practice and my movement as routine. I became more acutely aware of energetics,' she said. 'The way in which I teach face yoga has evolved... First-hand experience keeps me a believer that you can teach your body to feel as beautiful and joyful as you wish it to be. It comes from your soul.' Licensed dermatologist Dr. Olga Skydan explained that while face yoga still isn't mainstream, it's growing in popularity. 'Face yoga increases blood flow, which improves oxygen delivery to the skin. This alone can help improve healing and reduce pigmentation,' she said. 'It also stimulates the lymphatic system and relaxes chronically overused muscles while engaging underused ones.' In Jillian's case, it offered more than just physical benefits. It helped her reclaim her sense of agency. 'I believe that face yoga is helpful when someone is recovering from trauma that affects both appearance and self-image,' Dr. Skydan said. 'It's empowering in that it gives a person an active role in their healing and supports their mental health.' For Jillian, the experience has become the foundation of how she teaches and lives today. 'Every day, I saw improvement, which boosted my spirits. I am a firm believer that energy and attitude are crucial to positive change. It was empowering to know I could help myself.'

Tim Dowling: the dog is destroying the lawn, but I need to catch her red-pawed
Shortly after its first birthday, the new dog suddenly starts digging giant holes in the lawn. I don't know why I imagined a year would be a cut-off point for a dog developing new unwanted behaviours. Why shouldn't an adult dog find a hobby? Anyway, these giant holes represent one of the key challenges of canine training: encouragement is easy; discouragement is hard. It's easy to teach a dog that peeing outside is good. It takes a lot longer to teach it that peeing inside is bad. Discouragement requires, at the very least, the possibility of connecting any negative reinforcement to the bad thing in question, which in this case proves impossible. When I discover a new hole in the morning, I call the dog out to the garden. She arrives instantly, tail wagging. 'Is this you?' I say, indicating the fresh, football-sized crater. The dog looks at me in perplexity. 'I don't even know why I'm asking,' I say. 'Of course it's you.' The dog stares expectantly, as if something fun might be about to happen. 'I will catch you in the act one day,' I say. 'And there will be consequences.' No one who's seen my lawn would dare to suggest I'm precious about it. I cut it infrequently and never bother with edging. At this time of year it's mostly brown patches and spreading weeds, and I don't care. But the holes are deep enough to represent a hazard, so I fill each new one and sprinkle grass seed over it. If I don't have enough soil, I top them up with espresso grounds. It would be fair to say none of this is working. It's a difficult time of year in the garden all-round. Half the crops in my pretend farm have failed, while the others present a problematic success. My wife comes out to my office shed while I'm staring at my raised beds. 'I'm going to the supermarket,' she says. 'Do you know if we need anything?' 'Don't buy courgettes,' I say. 'We have, like, eight.' 'Don't worry, I won't,' she says. I poisoned my family with toxic courgettes four years ago and it put all of them off courgettes, possibly for life. But I still grow them because they're easy, resulting in an annual glut. 'This year's ones are fine,' I say. 'You've actually eaten some already, without knowing.' 'Anything else?' she says. 'We have shitloads of radicchio,' I say. 'And one cucumber. Otherwise, as far as I know, we're out of everything.' Soon after my wife leaves, I discover that the everything we're out of includes milk. Instead of texting her, I go to the nearest shop. 'I'll be back in 10 minutes,' I say to the dog. 'Don't dig.' On my return I run into the middle one, who stopped by on his way back from work and found no one home. 'I ate your cucumber,' he says. 'The whole thing?' I say. 'It was delicious,' he says. I spend the rest of the afternoon watching from my desk as the dog lies on the grass chewing on an outdoor cushion. It's bad behaviour, but it's not a hole. If I am to apply negative reinforcement to the correct crime, timing is everything. Sign up to Inside Saturday The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine.

I turn to read it, and then, grudgingly, answer it. When I turn back the dog is gone and there's a new hole alongside the gutted cushion. I examine the hole carefully – it looks to be one I have already filled and re-seeded once – before calling the dog's name. The dog appears at the kitchen door, yawning and stretching. 'Come here,' I say. The dog walks across the lawn and sits at my feet. 'What's this?' I say, pointing to the hole. The dog looks at my outstretched finger, and then at me. 'Your new hobby is unacceptable,' I say. 'I'd only just filled it in yesterday.' The dog tilts its head slightly, as if to say: is this about the cushion? 'This is about the hole,' I say. 'Whatever it is you're looking for in life, you won't find it a foot under the lawn.' The oldest one, home from work, walks into the kitchen. The dog runs in to greet him. 'Hello,' he says. 'Why is your nose covered in dirt?' 'You in tonight?' I say. 'I think so,' he says. 'What's for supper?' 'Dunno,' I say. 'Whatever mum brings back, plus courgettes.' 'Ugh,' he says. 'It was four years ago!' I say. 'Four years of everyone rejecting my courgettes!' 'And yet,' he says, 'you persist.'
