About a month ago I was given a cute little puppy to keep me company. We have bonded pretty well and she has developed a habit of expecting me to share my snacks with her. Earlier today, after getting home from grocery shopping I opened a bag of ChexMix and as sometimes happens the bag split allowing a good portion to spill to the floor. I swept up the spilled food and put it in her food dish. After sampling a few bites she went to her spot on the floor over an air conditioning vent and laid down. A few minutes later I started snacking on some of the unspilled mix which immediately got her attention and brought her over to where I was, expecting me to give up some of my snack. Even after I showed her where she had her own stash she ignored what was already given to her and demanded some of mine. Remind you of any humans you know?

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

Hmmmmm. I was sure that someone would comment about why people always want what someone else has even if it is the exact same thing. I guess I was wrong.

My dogs do the same when I am eating a sandwich or something. As I have 5 dogs a break up of the sandwich doesn't go far.

The dog bonds with you as a dependent for resources, like food, company, play and security. Small children are the same.

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Exactly...if Suz or I have a banana Abby is all over us--she loves them. If we put one in her dish she won't eat it-has to come from us.

I could comment, but then this thread would end up over in politics. You can fill in the blanks.

My Brother and I would give some french fries to a pair of dogs that lived with us, both wanted some from US, one dog was My Brothers and the other was My Nephews dog. I think Dogs just expect to be handed certain foods, the dogs loved the fries of course. Those were good times too.

Never met a dog that did not like a nibble here and there. Really, feeding table food is not good. Dogs thrive, on human companionship and love!

Bob, what kind of puppy did you get?? Good for you!

She has a Sheltie for a mother and a father that must have had a lot of Labrador in him. She is black with a white chest and a splotch of white on all four paws. She looks like a miniature Lab.

Two great combinations, lab & sheltie. She looks beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing her picture!!
