I spoil my 4 dogs in various ways. My oldest, 16 year old Musette,a toy poodle mix, sleeps on her half of the bed with me, with her own pillow, and often I sleep with my arm around her. She has a ramp to get on and off the bed and to get to her own bed on the floor. She also has at least 4 pee pads in my office, across the hall, to use as her bathroom. My others get to sit and watch TV with me on the couch in the evenings, and I often cook special things for them, like a egg, garlic powder, cheese omlet to add to their kibble, or turkey and veggie meatloaf. I’m single and without kids, obviously, but wouldn’t have it any other way.

I never spoil my dogs.I truely am the meam Mom.They must be seat belted in their car seats, they never get people food.I brush their teeth every night ( they hate that ).They get brushed for their coats(shelties) everyday, hard to say what they dislike the most.
Now they do give me the very best puppy kisses everyday.
Oh, I lied every morning the bird, cat & dogs get cheerios. Um, um good.Baby carrots are the night treat. Doc said they are good for them.The make my world a much better place. My husband said after the last 3 died no more. WHAT IS HE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh My! I don’t spoil my dogs at all. I am the mean mum! Unless you consider, wetting down their food and warming it up a bit just to take the chill off, letting them ride in the front seat of the “good truck”, (not the old beater that my hubby bought for me to drive around with the dogs in), take them camping to the lake and for a good swim, let them lie on the bed or the couch (of course when the hubby isn’t home)take them on every walk that I take the kennel dogs on, occasional bits from my plate, or the fact that sometimes mummy gets up to check on them in the middle of the night just to see that they are ok? I don’t think they are spoiled do you?

Now just to make one thing clear…my husband is a wonderful man. We just sometimes don’t agree with the place that the dogs have in our home. But lets talk about HIS cats shall we? How do you think I was able to get the second dog? <>!! LOL

But all in all, cats, dogs, kids, and husband. Each one of them have such wonderful meaning in my life.

My dog is a very fussy eater. I’ve heard that dogs with a high play drive (like mine) are sometimes like that. Occasionally I will put her food out and she won’t eat. It’s not like she’s sick. She will gobble up all sorts of treats, if they are offered to her. I think she’s just being stubborn. So instead of being the boss and just leaving her food out until she eats it, I will lace it with cut up treats or mix in some squeezeable cheese. And if that doesn’t work, I will (gulp!) hand-feed her. OK. Now I’ve confessed my sin to the world!
