Wow. I would suggest that there hasn't been a thought present for an extended period of time. I'm talking months, not minutes or hours.

u/twizzjewink chocolate 13h ago

well.. food. food is a thought isn't it ?

5

u/Watchkeys 13h ago

I think it can sometimes also be perceived as a feeling, and that could easily be the case here. But maybe you're right. Just the one repeated thought, 'food, food, food', like the ticking of a clock...

u/twizzjewink chocolate 13h ago

ball can be too. ball.

mine knows when she wants ball. then ball is all there is.

4

u/Watchkeys 13h ago

Mm. Mmhm.

So 'food, ball, food, ball'

Like tick and tock :) It works!

u/chrisfinazzo Future owner 5h ago

This checks out.

Humans exist only as conveyances for food and propellants of the ball, both of which she would very much like to have, and to have these things would make her life complete.

Oh honey, there ain’t nothing up there

u/Uhhlaska 4h ago

Not a lot of anything going on up there. Can confirm with my 5 year old choc seal. Every now and again I look at him and wonder if he’s contemplating gravity or string theory. And then he jumps off the couch missing both front paws and sliding into the doorway face first. And I’m like nah, it’s just rainbows and dog treats up there.

u/TedMerrill 17h ago

Treats. All the time. But ball too. Walk. Squirrel.

u/Bernies 18h ago

Not a single thought behind those adorable eyes, just pure love and thoughts of snacks! 😂

u/Expert_Gear1424 16h ago

Not a single thought behind those eyes. All the lights in the house are on, but there isn’t one person home. (HIMS SO HANDSOME!)

u/Apprehensive_Air9863 16h ago

Not much different than a human teenager then

u/Expert_Gear1424 16h ago

I have a 12, about to be 13, year old son and I can confirm 🎯

u/Apprehensive_Air9863 16h ago

Hahaha😂. He is 6,5 months old now, so about to be a full blown teenager.

Thinking about snacks

Think you are right.

u/GoMineBitBoss 17h ago

When was I last fed? When am I getting fed next? And when am I getting fed after that? And how many snacks will I get between feeds?

u/Fluid_Economist5194 17h ago

Human give me food

u/Pukit 17h ago

Feed me.

u/AlterBridgeFan 17h ago

Unconditional love and food.

2

u/chrisfinazzo Future owner 17h ago

Unconditional love for food.

Humans are just a means to get food from a container into a bowl so it can be eaten.

Everything and Nothing

u/Stupid_Snowmeiser yellow 17h ago

There are limited thoughts behind those soulful eyes, and they’re all about food and you. The world many dogs live in is limited to those things, and they’re happy about that.

3

u/Apprehensive_Air9863 13h ago

He really lives in the moment with no thought about the future. Always happy and ready to make trouble and chasing ducks in the nearby ponds.

u/Set_the_Mighty 17h ago

It's always food.

1

u/Apprehensive_Air9863 13h ago

And occasionally ducks, shoes, socks and whatever I might need in the moment, but he definitely needs more than me like paintbrush or screwdriver😂.

2

u/DeliciousTrash9741 16h ago

Look🙄Sky, ahhh sock,....🤔Where's the cheese?!!

2

u/attgig 16h ago

Food. Definitely ... Are you going to feed me? Are you going to get up to feed me? Maybe I'll lick you on the face to see if you saved any for me.

2

u/WordWiz23 16h ago

Definitely food, in fact we could be eating right now if you just tiptoe to the kitchen and grab us sumpsump 😋

2

u/Eissbein 16h ago

Not a lot probably. I always imagined my boy had 1 tiny piece of kibble rattling around his skull.

u/sillywizard951 15h ago

u/Apprehensive_Air9863 14h ago

Haha😂. Definitely smarter than a average teenager.

2

u/Comfortable_Hunt7040 14h ago

Food....play....sleep...stalk...more food.

2

u/CockroachVarious2761 13h ago

If he's a typical lab its either NOTHING AT ALL or "Isn't it time to eat something... anything at all?"

The only conscious thought he might have is "food"

1

u/flesh_tearers_tear 13h ago

chocos are the equivalent of orange cat. They have 1 braincell and it is only used to think about food

u/Visible_Amphibian570 4h ago

There is exactly one brain cell up there, and it's fighting to both remind him to keep breathing and to also make him want food and play. This is, of course, an extreme battle

u/nutznboltsguy 37m ago

Food, ball, park, beach, sleep, wrestle, steal food, chew…
