Puppy loves ice cubes!

Last summer when Lucy was a baby we noticed she loved ice cubes. I think it started by filling a bowl with ice and water for her drinking pleasure while we were outside. She loved scooping the ice out and playing with it before eating it. She figured out that ice comes out of the dispenser in the refrigerator door. As soon as she heard the ice hit the glass, she’d come running from wherever she was (even a dead sleep in another part of the house) for some ice. Since we were in obedience classes then, we never gave her any sort of treat without, at the very least, sitting nicely for it.

She still loves ice, still comes running for it, still sits before she’s given a cube.

I always serve ice water with dinner. Sometimes a cube gets stuck in the tube from the ice maker on its way to the glass. It always works itself free, usually in the midst of dinner. As soon as it hits the ground, Lucy is there. She thinks it’s pretty cool when the fridge magically dispenses ice.

Here are some pictures.
