I'll be going back to work soon.

I care what it looks like though, just because he's a dog doesn't mean it should look like slop. Presentation is everything.

*smirks, teasing* Says the person who made someone eat cheeseburger out of a can.

Phantom whines if I take too long getting his food out. So it's usually plopped into his dish and set down for him.

Mr. Beaker has to wait, patience is a virtue after all. Besides, I make a point of plating my food and Ro's nicely. It's not really much effort to do the same for Mr. Beaker. Now if only I could get him to stop inhaling it in two bites.

Somehow, I don't think animals understand patience. When they gotta go, they gotta go. When they wanna eat, they wanna eat. *shrugs* Maybe he wouldn't eat so fast if he didn't have to wait so long? Jack is usually well behaved at mealtime, but we usually just dump it in his bowl and let him at it.

Oh. he doesn't wait long. Sometimes I even put his food together early and just have to take it out of the fridge and heat it up.

We usually just let Jack's can sit at room temperature if it's leftover. Heating it stinks up the whole place.

Oh, yuck. Aryn, you shouldn't leave food in open cans. Bacteria can start to grow. Mr. Beaker's food doesn't smell any worse than the cookie dough I use to bake his doggie biscuits, it's all natural and organic. You could probably eat it if you wanted to, I just don't think the combination of flavors would appeal to a human pallet.

It's only for a day. He gets half a can at mealtime, mixed with his kibble. And Remy likes to cook, but he's not industrious enough to make special biscuits for Jack. The pet store has fancy ones and we just get those.

Mr. Beaker's kibble is store bought of course, but I mix his own wet food myself. He really likes lamb.

I think Jack's is beef. All I know is it smells. Phantom's food smells worse, though. Yuck.

I just get the butcher at the organic grocer to grind it up fresh and I add other things to it at home. It's sort of like a little puppy meatloaf. It's cute especially after I take them out of the little molds.

We don't have enough time for that. And I'd rather spend the time playing with them than preparing meals, anyway.

Oh, it's not trouble and takes no more time than I spend making food for myself and Ro when he's here too. I love Mr. Beaker to pieces, I'm certainly going to take the best care of him that I can. And he gets plenty of time to play. We take him to the park and he has play dates with other puppies...
