I like food, T and P don’t make much of an effort with my meals, always give me the same thing. Yes, the same food morning and evening, every day. This is as you can imagine a little boring. They try and make it a little more gourmet by putting in vegetables or chopped apple but that is it. They could try harder and it would not mean any extra effort for them. I could finish off what they leave on their plates or just have the same as them each day – all they have to do is prepare a bit extra for me.

I do my best to make this clear, try and sniff their plates when they are sitting at the table, if I can get on T’s knee even better but they always tell me to get down and go to my bed. How can I resist the lovely smells! My food doesn’t have much of a smell, comes from a large bag marked –Hypo-allergenic’, not sure what that means but it certainly doesn’t mean delicious.

I have decided to take matters into my own paws, they left a recipe book out the other day and I thought it was worth a read. Took it off the kitchen worktop and curled up in my bed for a good read, well actually I looked at the pictures as being a dog I can’t actually read. They have a load of these books so the possibilities are endless for me. Left it open in my bed at a page showing a particularly delicious looking dish. Big hint there, they cannot ignore this I thought. Has it made a difference? NO, not a jot, still get the same old dried food.

When T does the weekly food shop and all the bags are brought in I check everything to see if there is anything that might be for me or that I think might be worth a try. I do help unpack and take out the things I’d like, couldn’t make it much clearer could I? But all my efforts are ignored.

T bought another large bag of my food this week, so clearly changes are not planned. Oh well, I live in hope, will get another book out and keep making hints. I’ve heard it said you are what you eat, that’s a little worrying.
