The same way they alert me to everything else they need: They stare at me REALLY loudly. ๐Ÿคฃ

Never really had much of an issue with our current and last couple dogs.

I usually give them their dinner when we have ours, so they're occupied. Worst case is they'll curl up on your feet under the table while you're eating.

That makes sense to me and is what I was thinking when I had this thought at the grocery store earlier. Then I wasn't sure since so many things have caffeine in them these days -- would the byproduct caffeine be enough? Another person said it's synthesized on an industrial scale, and that also makes sense, at least enough to satisfy my curiosity.

So a little from column A, a little from column B then. Thanks! ๐Ÿ™

 

Satiate my curiosity, please. I know caffeine is naturally occurring in many plants (coffee and tea being the most notable). But for things like energy drinks, soda, drink flavorings, and whatnot that we add caffeine to, where does it come from?

Do we synthesize it all , is it recovered from the decaffeination process we use for decaf coffee/tea? Something else?
