I did ask if we could edit out it being a myth that if we\u2019re begging it\u2019s because we\u2019re hungry. I don\u2019t want something that might get in the way of our eating treats. Our Mistress says that when she was young and she went to the food cupboard, looking in longingly, our Granny would say to her it wasn\u2019t that she was hungry it was because her teeth were bored! Well our teeth get bored too, particularly between meals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, I find food issues easier to deal with than world peace and how exactly this country will leave the European Union. I might be a bright dog, but I just don\u2019t have the patience for things like that. That\u2019s more Alfie\u2019s field. I\u2019m more into instant gratification and accessing the treat cupboard, which, I might add, is now a higher level cupboard as otherwise we help ourselves. Would you believe our spare food is even kept behind a locked door? Not just closed, but actually locked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One disappointing thing about Shadow and Wilma not going to Fun Day today is that one of them can usually be relied on to win a prize in one of the games. That means we all get to try a treat we wouldn\u2019t normally be given. Our Mistress is a bit boring on the treat front and won\u2019t buy us all the \u2018sweets\u2019 we ask for. I know she says we can use our own pocket money, but quite honestly, where\u2019s the fun in that? Given the frequency of her buying cakes for herself I do think her lack of buying treats for us is unreasonable. In my terms it\u2019s a myth that the dogs of this household are spoiled, but I do seem to have trouble getting anyone to agree with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a great weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/dog-food-myths\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Dog-Food-Myths.jpg\" alt=\"32 Dog Food Myths Infographic\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.TopDogTips.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.TopDogTips.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>We\u2019ve been sent the below information on Dog Food Myths that we thought you\u2019d find interesting.
