At the park today, there was a sweet encounter with a dad with two boys. The older one maybe around 7, and the younger one a tiny toddler. They were attracted to my dog, who was busily sniffing out the kibble I was throwing onto the grass.

The older one started to pick up the kibble scattered and push them toward my dog’s face. The little toddler was staring and petting and reaching out a hand, so I held out my hand with a little pile of kibble on it. He slowly and daintily reached over and picked up one tiny kibble, then instead of throwing it at my dog, slowly moved his hand towards his own mouth.

Me and his dad had a omg lol moment. I did not even think of that! (But maybe his dad did).

I was explaining that Joey (my dog) was hungry today because she had thrown up twice in the morning. The older boy perked up and said, ‘oh dogs can throw up? Sometimes I throw up too.’ I explained how she usually eats a little grass everyday, but for some reason, yesterday she ate more than usual and it might’ve been too much.

#dogs ☺️ I love watching Joey interact with little kids and other dogs since she is so social and friendly
