“The moment I realized there was a method to their madness, I couldn’t stop laughing.”
Ripley and Creature Have a Secret — And Their Mom Just Found Out
Meet Ripley and Creature — two charming little pups who live for cozy days at home with their mom, Mykie. The bond they share is deep, playful, and filled with love.
“They’re my world,” Mykie told The Dodo. “Watching them just exist, think, play, and communicate is my favorite method of practicing mindfulness.”
That attentive observation recently led Mykie to an unexpectedly delightful discovery.
For years, she’d followed the same mealtime routine without fail: prepare the food, place their bowls in the same spots on the floor, then give the signal for them to eat. To Mykie, what happened next always looked like a blur of wagging tails and excited jostling.
But one day, she noticed something different — something brilliant.
“I had always noticed they circle around me like little sharks when I prepare their food, but I assumed it was pure chaos,” Mykie said. “The moment I realized there was a method to their madness, I couldn’t stop laughing.”
Ripley and Creature, it turns out, had secretly developed a synchronized mealtime dance — a thoughtful, coordinated routine just between the two of them. What once seemed like random excitement was actually perfectly timed choreography.
While the discovery gave Mykie a good laugh, it didn’t surprise her entirely.
“They’re very smart,” she said. “And I’d bet most of their waking life is spent thinking about mealtime. So it all adds up.”
Ripley and Creature’s adorable food ritual is just one small glimpse into their shared world — one filled with trust, instinct, and a little bit of sibling teamwork. And for Mykie, moments like this are a reminder of how much joy there is in simply paying attention.
