Jasper And Lucy And The Water Bowl

Tonight, whenever I would fill up Lucy’s water bowl, Jasper would immediately lap up all the water out of it.  Jasper has his own water bowl which is full of water, but he drank Lucy’s water, instead.

And it really seemed to me that he took great pleasure in doing so.  (There’s a slight possibility that he was chuckling as he did it.)

You might think I’m being silly and this is completely innocent on Jasper’s part because, after all, dogs couldn’t possibly think in such a conscious manner.  But as we are observing Jasper and Lucy working out their new relationship we are noticing, what appear to be, some very human tendencies, including a little bit of jealous rivalry.

Fortunately, Lucy does not have her license, yet, so we are not getting into a lot of arguments over the fact that Jasper always gets to take the car.
