Rarely do I need to tell Marley, “bring your bowl.” If its on the floor and its empty, she brings it for a refill (forever optimistic). I do not ask her to place the bowl in my lap - its much too awkward for her to do. Instead, I reach down for the bowl.

Note that the bowl has a lip on it. Many bowls have smooth sides that would be extremely difficult for her to pick up. Also note that the bowl is small enough for her to carry without straining her neck to keep it off the floor.

“Bring phone,” “bring your bowl,” and “bring towel” are the only items identified by its name.
