Another blog about carrots
December 8, 2015 by Anna -
Last Saturday Diana talked about some drama that she saw involving a carrot. Well, it just so happens, I was saving another carrot related incident for today’s blog. This one was not quite so dramatic, but it too involved Jamie.
As you may have noticed from Diana’s blog, Jamie doesn’t usually eat her carrots right away. In fact, we often peel her carrot to convince her to take one at all. Last Friday I served carrots as the first vegetable course for dinner. She took hers, but was eager to move on to the tomatoes and banana slices (instead of sitting down and munching her carrot like the others were doing). I obliged her request and handed out more of the meal. Tomatoes and banana slices are quite slippery, so I ended up dropping a couple of them on the ground in front of the caging. Jamie is always on the lookout for dropped food and usually utilizes the closest tool she can find. In this case, a very long carrot..
The ever resourceful boss.

How funny!!
Such a clever girl – love it!
Tastes better when you gotta work for it!
The clever boss lady!
Okay I have to ask, in photos # 1 & 2 we see the banana sitting outside the cage and out of reach. Clever Jammie grabs her carrot to use as a tool to spear or sweep the banana. But in photo #3 Jamie’s thin long fingers are reaching under the caging to get that juicy tomato. Can’t stand the suspense…… did Jamie reach the banana with the carrot or her long fingers? Either way she is a resourceful gal!
She had to use the carrot to get all of the food closer, then she used her fingers 🙂
Love it! So the carrot was a good thing after all. But did she end up eating that carrot too?
Yes!
