I am a princess?

Lily has been doing this thing with her food the last 6 months or so. She will eat her food in the bowl if there are no pillows on the floor. If there is a throw pillow on the floor she will take her food out of the bowl, set it on the pillow and then eat it. It never fails.

I know she's spoiled but geesh! Is there a reason for this princess like behavior?

Any dog who will move a pillow to the food bowl and then use it for comfort is way ahead of most dogs in intelligence. Princess? Probably, she knows what she wants and will do it. Training her must be a "joy."

Lol Yea she is pretty willful and pushes boundaries (especially with my husband) but she's actually super easy to train. I like the challenge. She picks up on tricks extremely fast, learning new tricks consistently in a day or so. Keeping her mind busy is sometimes difficult.

Yep, she could be a troublemaker. But having this much intelligence the things you can do together are wonderful: agility, Nose Work--maybe even search and rescue, therapy, herding, dance......she could keep you busy!
"Princess Lily", that's too cute!
I love that. So funny. They really are the most willful lovable rogues.
You are not listening to her are you?

That is her way of telling you she wants her food on the couch in front of the telly!
That is adorable!! She should be fed on silk cushions, I think! :hearts: :hearts:
Virginia will be glad to give Lily some instruction on being a silk princess.

For starters, eating your food on your silk pillows should be the default:
Funny girl :D

...and here, I only have a Prince or 2!
