Dear Labby

Don't forget to send in your Dear Bloggy (human) or Dear Labby (dog) issues to ruparanoid2 at yahoo dot com

Dear Labby,

I've got Dad wrapped around my paw.  In fact, I can actually control his thinking!  All I have to do is look at him with my big brown puppydog eyes and he gives me anything.  The other night, while him and mom were having dinner, I looked up at him lovingly and he gave me some of his steak!   I follow Dad to the kitchen and when he looks down at me, he says what I'm thinking and wanting and then gives it to me.  It's amazing!

But Mom isn't so easy.  I give her my best puppydog look and she just pats my head.  I wag my tail and give Mom a big smile, but instead of sharing her dinner with me, she tells me no.  I lay my head on her lap and give her the sad look so she'll let me on the furniture, but she scratches behind my ears.

I know my Mom loves me as much as I love her, so why doesn't she give me anything and everything I want?

Labby, maybe you could give me some advice on how to wrap my Mom around my paw cuz I'm pretty sure you have your mom wrapped around your paw!

Your friend,
Dottie Dog

Dottie Dog,

This isn't an easy case. We have a softie Dad and a hard Mom too! In the past, we've had luck pretending to not be hungry for our kibbles. We trick Mom into thinking something is wrong with us and eventually she offers some boiled chicken or bites of their food.

Some humans just don't know it's unfair to have to eat the same thing every day. What we wouldn't give for an entire CHEESEBURGER.

OMD such great advice. We never thought about rejecting our food and setting the peeps into a panic. We will give it a go. Anything for chicken and rice. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly

Misty likes to like out the chicken can and gets bits of ham or chicken or even homemade (GF) pizza (bits, remember, not huge pieces.) You're right. Who wants to eat the same thing every single meal! I think I have a wood tick crawling up my leg.

Hmm, that's different - in my house it's my mom that's the soft touch. :)

Dear Dotty Dog & Labby,

I learned fast that 'the old woman' (aka Deborah's mother) will always share a meal with me if I give her the look. But since gaining a few pounds, Humphrey and I are no longer allowed around her while she is eating. I tried telling the vet it was HIS fault. He said he "fixed" me but I think he "broke" me.

Dotty Dog & Labby,

You obviously don't have the natural good looks and physical physique of a feline. Too bad. I can eat anything. And then run in the back room and hack it up.

Cats Rule. Dogs Drool.

That is all.
