A Messy Mouthful On Moanday Monday!


Are you the powerful one in your household? Do you hold sway and make sure your staff bend to your every whim? Now are you also a messy eater? I have to admit I have been known to drop peas and the such (vegetables are the devil's food) all over the floor. Maybe occasionally I will use my human's legs as a napkin. Well according to scientists powerful people are messy eaters. That is right! So if you eat with your mouth open, or leave crumbs in your furs or drool at the sight of something tasty it is because you are a powerful dude. Psychologist Dacher Keltner and his team made this jaw dropping discovery at the Berkeley University California. We are not sure if any illegal substances were used when conducting these land mark experiments but it sure explains a lot of what goes on in my house when food is involved. So next time your peeps calls you a messy eater smile and remember you have the power.

 Have a marvellous Monday all.

    But I'm not a messy eater 'cos that would involve leaving foodables and I always do a crumb sweep to make sure I've not left one single tasty morsel!

    oh, so funny about peas and vegetables in general. :) my dogs love carrots, though.

    That is very interesting! I also heard that getting tired after a meal is a sign of aggressiveness, like the dominate male lion who gorges and then sleeps, people and dawgs who are compelled to sleep after a meal are generally the agressive, dominant member of the family!

    We want to be powerful too. Does the powerful-ish goes with a messy drinker too? Cause the water flows from our mouths when we are drinking.

    I'm POWERFUL!! I eat very delicately! From my bowl in the tiled KITCHEN I pick up one piece of kibble, take it into the carpeted LOUNGEROOM where I eat it leaving crumbs everywhere. I repeat the process until my bowl is empty then I use the posh lounge as my napkin.

    Wow, so pleased you repotted this important scientific finding Molly. I fee a bit guilty that I, as Bouncing Bertie Boffin, let this one slip, but my assistant has had other things on her mind this week.

    PS My level of messiness depends on the length of my beard. Which I guess goes with the idea that having a haircut makes you lose strength...

    Snorts - I think we all have our traits that make us well "US". Daddy I do believe takes top winner at the Hotel Thompson. He drops things. Mom says he does it on purpose for us anipals. I'm just glad he does it. Some of the things he 'drops' are delectable little morsels that we enjoy :) Have a great day my friend. XOXO - Bacon
