 +The dogs (like the Chickens & Ducks) only get their food for a 1/2 hour and then the food is taken away. This attempts to alleviate conflict between the dogs and reduce pest presence in the yard.
 +  * The dogs' food containers should both be put in the blue dog food barrels in the outside tap room (where hoses come from in the yard).
 +  * The Chicken/Ducks' food container should go in the automated feeder box in the wood shelter. It is an unpainted sheet metal box with a lid and foot pedal
