Five months old, 8kgs:
When I come back into this world, I’m going to come back as a human.
Human’s can eat what they like, when they like. They can even go shopping and choose their own food!
Me? I’m only allowed to eat twice a day, whereas new-mum and new-dad eat ALL THE TIME! I’m only allowed to eat dried fake-meat balls and sometimes CHICKEN – but they have different food EVERY time.
When I play the ‘sad-eyes’ card they often feel sorry for me and give me some of their tasty food. But I have to try to control myself. If I get too excited and start jumping up for more, they make me wait until they’ve finished and put it into my bowl instead of me eating it there and then. Or I might not even get any at all.
I have to be careful also because if I don’t eat my own food and wait for something more tasty instead – not only do I not get anything tasty, but my own food disappears too. I’m not sure where it goes or who eats it, but I know it doesn’t come back to me. Then I end up with nothing!
The other day I tried to sneak into the shopping bag. I knew they were going to the supermarket so I thought I would sneak along with them and add my own stuff to the basket. Here’s my list:
- CHICKEN
- CHICKEN
- CHICKEN
- Chocolate (but some idiot told new-mum chocolate can damage a dog’s health)
- Ice-cream (new-mum read on the Internet that dogs couldn’t tolerate milk products, but my real-mum used to give me milk all the time)
- Yoghurt – especially apricot flavour and only if I can lick the pot
- Biscuits – not the doggy kind but the delicious ones humans eat
- Peaches – lovely juicy ones
- Peanut butter – with or without toast but straight from the jar is even better
- Sausages – ANY kind
- Apples – to clean my teeth
- Cheese – especially cheddar (drat, another milk product!)
In fact, I could eat ANYTHING as long as it wasn’t that dried dog food. Whoever invented that rubbish anyway?
It certainly wasn’t a dog..!
I'll just sneak into the shopping bag...
I don't think anyone saw me...
I'll just wait here quietly. I'm sure they haven't noticed me...
That was easy - I don't think I've been spotted..!

I really do think that you’re better off than us humans! I have to say that I like everything on that list too.
You’re getting a bit big, and heavy, to hide un-noticed in a shopping bag like that! Just carry on playing the big sad-eyes trick and I’m sure you’ll continue to be given all sorts of tasty titbits. xx

Thanks, Flighty. But do I really look big and heavy in that bag? Hmmn…. maybe I should think about cutting down on all those tasty treats. But then that would leave me with the boring fake meat….!

No you look very sleek, and I guess that it must be a small bag! I think that you’d find it very difficult to cut down on the treats. xx

Carlie, you’re totally invisible in that bag. Well done

I thought I did rather well too, thank you!
And I LOVE the photo of breakfast on your blog. I could smell it from here so I went to take a look. I WISH I could have breakfasts like that….
