 Pixie, you need a new motto
Pixie has a motto that goes like this..
If YOU have food, then WE have food.
She truly wants to eat everything she sees us eating. I have had to start watching my kids like a hawk, because she is so adorable in her begging, they don't like to correct her and try to slip her bits and pieces of what they are eating.
I confess, I do it as well, but I only offer things one would think a dog would not eat.. Like a bit of steamed broccoli, or cherry tomato. I keep thinking she's going to say, umm,. no, I'm not going to eat this, but she keeps shocking me.
Yesterday and this morning were banner days.
She begged and begged and begged for a bit of the fruit I was eating. Well, there is no way a dog will eat a BLUEBERRY, right?
Wrong.
She also stole a bit of pineapple rind that fell on the floor, but I think I got it all from her before she actually ate it.
And this morning, Fred the turtle came out for a bite to eat. I mixed up his food, which is a combination of freeze dried Bearded Dragon food with canned Zoo Med Box Turtle food.
Well, HE didn't eat it.. But PIXIE did
Almost half his food before I caught her. Thank goodness his portions are small. I guess Fred thought turn about was fair play, because he then proceeded to eat HER food.
It was desert time for Fred, which is live super worms (they're like mealworms, but bigger). Fred chased his tucker down, but the PIXIE wanted his worms. I tossed one to him and it landed between the two, and I had to chase her off because she went for the worm.. THEN she tried to take it out of his mouth!!
Really, Pixie, this WE have food thing of yours has been taken a bit too far. |
