Everybody loves a good threequel, right? Whether its a book, movie, or album, threequels have a reputation of being amazing like Highlander III: The Sorcerer, The Hangover Part III, Taken 3, or RoboCop 3. Classics. So just like them, I put forth a new chapter in the history of awesome threequels: My dog’s eating habits are getting strange: The conclusion.

For those of you living in blissful ignorance, the first and second chapters of this thrilling trilogy, can be found on my blog.

For a quick recap:

• My dog’s name is Indy and he’s 11 years old.
• I noticed Indy was eating figuratively and literally, half of his food in his bowl.
• I decided to study how he was eating the food, by recording it on the calendar; every day for a year.
• It was always the same type of dog food in his bowl.
• I published a blog covering the results from January-June 2022.
• I published a blog covering the results from July-December 2022.

This blog is going to cover the results for the entire year and if anything at all, can be discovered from the results; other than the debate about whether the dog or the owner is weirder. And with that compelling introduction, let’s do this for the third and final time!

2022 results:

The percentages work out to be:

Left: 39%  Right: 33%   Top: 10%   Bottom: 8%   Centre: 1%  All: 5%   Hour Glass: 1%  Did not eat: 3%

So what does this all mean?

1.) Based over the year, it’s plain to see that Indy prefers eating from the Left side of his bowl.

2.) You’ll see Did Not Eat spiked around September. This was when Indy got sick, but also when he had a holiday and ate, well…holiday food, that was not from his bowl.

3.) We tried to control the conditions throughout the year as much as we could; however we totally forgot about one factor: the door. During late Spring to early Autumn, the back door was left open, while we were at home. This was to let fresh air flow into the house, because of the heat. So during late Autumn to early Spring, we kept the door closed, because of the colder temperatures.

4.) During Winter, Indy started diversifying his eating styles, because the Left and Right decreased, while Top and Bottom increased. Whether there was a correlation between the status of the door and Indy’s eating styles, remains to be investigated for another day. This was because Indy’s food bowl was right next to the back door.

So armed with the knowledge of Indy’s preferred eating style, we are left with two questions:

1.) What do we do now?

I have no idea. The whole process of recording his eating style for an entire year has been fun; if not a little strange.

2.) Why does Indy prefer eating from the Left?

Again, I have no idea. I’m not smart enough to understand Bichon logic, so it’s totally pointless.

Alright, that’s it. An entire year’s worth of data, based on one dog’s eating styles; and it’s time well spent. Does your pet have any weird or unusual eating preferences? Please let me know.
