Wait, where is the monster bowl? And that looks like a plain table spoon. How can a dog with a monster bowl eat off of ordinary cutlery?
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

Ok, you're absolutely right.
I need to get a monster spoon.
And I promise I will take pics of the plate and the spoon...
still waiting for other off-the-spoon kind of pictures, though...

Does this mean the challenge is opening up to other contenders? I've been holding back but I have two rather eager potential participants. In fact, by the sounds of it, they're ransacking the cutlery drawer...
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...

I didn't know Mosby and Manni weren't the only ones. So yes! Are you kidding? This is an open challenge to everyone of course!
Please make note however, that I just ordered a matching spoon to go with the monster plate... so you may want to reconsider...😜

Elsie seems to have the largest spoon to dog ratio so far. . .

Those are lovely pics! Look at his expression in the second one! Such a happy, spoiled-rotten boy. He's got you 'on toast', as they say.
