It seems like Ruby must have some Japanese blood in her somewhere. Many of her favorite flavors are Japanese, such as nori (seaweed), sushi rice, and edamame (soy beans); and she loves going out for sushi. So for Christmas, I bought her a pair of chopsticks. They’re kind of like a giant clothespin – attached at one end, with a spring to keep them open.
Tonight, I thought we’d introduce them to Ruby and let her have a try at using them. Our expectations were pretty low, but to my surprise, she mastered it right away! As soon as we figured out that she needed to hold the chopsticks in the middle (instead of at the end), she was able to pick things up, even slippery soy beans and tiny grains of rice.
She proudly shows off her new skill in this video (sorry it’s so dark):

“Chop chop” is the cutest ending to that video, man. NICE.
