Made Jingo his own "coffee"

[Mizzely]

Jingo started getting too protective of my coffee (I got bit putting my mug in the dishwasher...) so I made him his own!



1. Keurig heated water (he knows that's where the magic happens)
2. Handful of Zupreem Natural pellets
3. Let sit for 10 mins
4. Blend
5. Serve warm

He's always picky about pellets so the few sips he takes are good for him

Jingo -- you are killing me with how adorable you are!

What a great idea, and it looks just like coffee!

I've tried this trick with just hot water before and he didn't take the bait. so color is definitely important!

.... What a good idea! Yen's always tried to get at my coffee. I love this!

What a wonderful way to include sweet jingo! And so clever too!

Fortunately Pippin doesn't like coffee, but Cake does!

**no coffee or caffeine was ingested in the making of this photograph**

So I have a strict "No Accessible Coffee/Tea" rule while the birds are out. I usually can get away with just covering the mug with a silicone lid - bonus that it keeps the drink warm longer - but sometimes Cake or Piper gets persistent and I have to chug and run.

Jingo is straight up obsessed. As soon as he sees my mug he beelines for it and sits and guards it and tries to take a drink. He wedges his head between the mug and my hand. If I walk out of the room with it, he follows. If I try to make him get off of me while I have the mug, he bites me. If I try to put the mug in the dishwasher, he bites me! No particular mug either! This way we can both be happy

I will warn you all, that after a while, some of the pellets just sort of become sledge at the bottom of the cup!
