Dogs regard any delicious smell emanating from the kitchen as a meal they can reasonably expect to share. An elderly dog may have been fed only kibble in all the years of his long life, but he will nevertheless haul his arthritic self to his feet and wander into the kitchen, confident that this time the lasagna sitting on the counter will be his.

I can attest to the truth of this article. the difference is, we have always shared table food, but only a small bite and no lasagna allowed. a lot of the foods we eat are not good for dogs, but the thing is, they don’t care if it is what we are eating, it can even be a dog bone.
I’m sure Zoe knows the difference between a dog bone and the chateaubriand that lit her up in this photo. 😀
I don’t know what’s better — that quote or the expression on your grand-pup’s face!
Zoe is definitely food oriented. 😀
Animals can teach us so much!
Yes. 😀
The dog I had before Gibbs would get his bowl of food at the same time Wade and I sat down for dinner. He would never touch his food until Wade was done eating and gave him some scraps from his plate.
Love that picture. That is one happy looking dog.
Sheer excitement and joy.
This is SO GOOD!!!! I have never thought of this, but WOW!! I think I will look up this book. Thank you!
I linked to an article. What book?
I just bought the book. And here’s something interesting. The used ones cost more than the new!
That sometimes happens. Again, what book did you get?
That is Misty to a tee. She has a very restricted diet because of her IBD, but she never stops hoping for a taste of any crumb she can find.
Zoe can’t eat food that hasn’t been treated with enzymes, so feeding her is complicated too. It’s too bad.
