New event for the Dog Olympics.. How far can doggo obnoxiously move its bowl down the hallway at 6:30am wanting brekkie.

Doggo is not being obnoxious, rather alerting you to a fault in the current system (I.e. lack of food)

Expressed as an absolute distance? Or as a percentage of the available hallway length? Also bowl quality and materials - ceramic would be significantly harder to shift than Temu steel/aluminium. And hallway floor covering - carpet or boards or rugs? Hard to standardise into a sporting event I think. Would be fun to watch tho.

lol these are all very good things to consider.

Also how many decibels.

I'm sure it'll get more complicated if there were laps involved.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

I believe the cats have taken all the laps, so that won't be an issue.

We need to factor the power to weight ratio for the breed as well.
