Oops - maybe Myndi isn't so normal afterall. She has a new little quirk which popped up about 6 months ago. She has to play a game of "bark at my food before I eat it". She'll go up to her bowl - sniff it - jump back from it and bark at it. She has to perform this ritual at least 3 or 4 times before she'll actually eat it. Maybe she's making sure that it's really dead!! I don't say "senile" in her presence.

And yes - she carries on conversations with her people too - like Lilly does.
