Hand-Feeding

I picked up a new method of eating this past week! Ever since I could remember, I've had some problem swallowing my food and water. Am I just piggish? Is the food too big for me to swallow? A little bit of both. Sometimes when I inhale my food and water I regurgitate. I personally think it's cool because it's like I'm recycling my own snacks but my people think it's gross. And remember that hacking problem that I mentioned a long time ago? My issue can lead to doggie pneumonia and even the end of my wonderful life! I'm only a year old or two, I can't cross the bridge quite yet! So we had to follow a few rules. Ew, rules.

1. Sit on somebody's lap so that they can hand-feed me.

2. Calm down! I get soooo excited when I know that food will be falling down my esophagus! My eyes do these crazy things but that's not good. I have to be relaxed and a "good boy" if I want to eat.

3. Stop teasing me!!

4. EAT! (my favorite step of them all!)

5. Then after I've eaten, I have to have lap time for a half an hour more so that I can digest and pass gas or something. *burp!* How ya doin'??

I've gotten used to it and I actually like it! At first I hated being bothered while eating. I'm so selfish with my food and that's the one thing I do NOT like to share! But that was part of the problem. I was labelled "food aggressive". I eat like there's no tomorrow and I've had digestive issues for awhile. I also didn't like the fact that I got a little bit of food to eat! But then I found out that I'd be fed 3 times a day in small portions, so I guess I don't mind after all! Not only do I regurgitate less, I've gotten better with my food aggression and I just seem to be a better behaved dog, so my people say!

I'm going to see if I can get more food...

Costume Thief & Laundry Day

'Twas the night in November, when to my surprise

Whiskers and I are now the same size!
Okay, for real, I've been quite the tootsie roll these past few months thanks to the love and treats and pure spoiledness, but I have lost a few pounds and I'm now a healthy weight! I've been so happy! But then there are downfalls...like others being able to fit in your clothes. Her eye looks all kinds of crazy!

I realize how much I love my clothes whenever Whiskers decides to borrow it. She was like the penguin from the under world! Pretty scary!

Enough of her. Today, I decided to do my laundry

Yeah, all of that is mine! But as I was staring at the pile, I decided that it might make a great place to sleep.

Turns out, I was right!

Are you still there??

Okay, later!
