This morning, as I let my dog inside, I watched as the first thing she did was run to her food bowl to see if we had put any food in it. I realized that she does this a lot. Every time Abbi walks past the kitchen she always runs and checks her bowl which is usually empty. When we do drop a treat into her bowl it always makes a little 'ting' noise, and from anywhere in the house Abbi can hear that faint noise. After watching her constantly do her routine with her dog bowl and instantly made me think of Facebook. I'm not a huge user of Facebook anymore, except when I was I would always randomly check my news-feed. I knew that most likely nothing interesting was on Facebook, but what if that one time I didn't check someone posts a hilarious video or status or something to amuse me. So I would constantly check my Facebook every time I walked past my computer. When I got the Facebook app on my iPod I was happy because then I could check Facebook on the go. Also the best part was every time I got a notification, my iPod would alert me with a 'ding'. I didn't get many notifications, but when I did I would rush to receive it. (I know this sounds like I'm one of those types of people who sit around waiting for something on Facebook, kind of was a couple of years ago, nowadays I don't use social media as much). With me always checking my Facebook and Abbi frequently checking her bowl, me waiting for the 'ding' of a notification and Abbi listening for the 'ding' of a treat, there are obvious similarities between dog bowls and Facebook.
