I thought dog hair was an excellent source of protein.

Doesn’t the 5 second rule still apply? If the cat wasn’t shedding on it for more than 5 seconds, its fine to eat!

I’m pulling a McKenzie. Nope, I didn’t see the dog lick that before I ate it. Never saw the dog eating my Cherrios and milk. Don’t know what you are talking about.

Y’mean we’re supposed to pick the hair off FIRST?

OK, show of hands:

How many of you have eaten something AFTER picking a cat or dog hair off it?

C’mon. ‘Fess up.

You people think you have it tough.

I have drunk tea mistakenly after my cat has had his fill of it. I have had to switch to herbal tea so he won’t get hyper from the caffeine.

Have any of you eaten food after a cat’s tail has switched around the top of it or drunk juice after the same tail has dipped inside?

I was amused by the other doggies that also gulp down the pilferred snacks when caught in the act. As I posted above he has done that a couple of times but mostly he will drop it and do his level best to look sorry as with the cream cheese package.

Poor guy is cooped up at home all week now that I have a regular job again. He is now waiting patiently for me to get up and go to the farm. He always knows when its farm day because I dont leave for work and he drapes himself over my feet no matter where I sit so he cant be left behind when I get up to go.

If I were to speak the magic words “Go for ride?” he would immediately be bouncing off the walls like a little kid told he was going to the circus.

Of couse we will get the obligatory bag of cheeseburgers or something to have for lunch. Considering that, why shouldnt he think that the food on the counter isnt for him too? He shares everything that he has and is with me. Why cant I share my food with him? If I had come to that conlusion a couple years ago Brandy would have at least had last summer with me. I dont know what great savings I would realize for feeding him only “meaty-Os” or cans of “dog food” that appear only to be for dogs because some corporation tells me that that is what it is and that only their secret formula of downer cows and magical Chinese ingredients is good enough for my dog, but what price would I have paid for that one last summer?

So, so what if he helps himself once in a while? If it got left out it probably would have found its way into his bowl anyway. Then of course there is the other Scout buffet table. You might call it the garbage can. Thats a whole other topic.

Teddy says it wasn’t him to opened the cabinet, got out the little bag of cat nip, ripped it open and flung it all over the kitchen.

He also wasn’t the one who knocked the plastic jar with the dry cat food off the kitchen counter, helped the top off, and then helped himself to about two cups of food. And didn’t get sick! And the sleeping on the back pose wasn’t part of it, he was exhausted from thinking about how he was going to make sure his evil sister didn’t get the blame for the bad, bad thing she had done…not!

Sydney wasn’t interested in what was on the table until we had kids. Now all food has to be off the table at the end of the meal. We have the “Mystery of the Disappearing Sandwiches” at our house. At least she has the decency to look guilty. She goes to her bed and makes no eye contact. If caught in the act she just eats as fast as she can and THEN she looks guilty.
