So I have this pup……….she’s 9 weeks old. Right now we have her on wet dog food and give her a few treats now and then. Its difficult at times between getting her house trained, getting her used to a leash, and then the next problem will be getting her to switch from wet to dry dog food….(I bought halo, do dogs like that stuff??)

My parents have 4 children. Two of them are grown (im one of them, hehe) and thennnn they have two teenagers. The teenagers each have dogs, who are for the most part well behaved……..EXCEPT when it comes to food….my dad will be eating lunch (pretty much every day im sure this happens) and the dogs (mainly the huge fat Chihuahua, and once in a while the sweet lab that came from the pound) will just STARE AT MY DAD………so rudely…..and then my dad will throw scraps down……and the dog will RACE OVER TO EAT IT…….and the dogs will fight almost even if he throws two scraps down for them……..I think it is so tacky………(and im not trying to be rude with my capslock folks :) Im just peeved….

So what are some good reasons I can tell my folks to PLEASE NOT give my pup any human food??? Right now, whenever we eat, she never bothers us for our human food, and I think thats the way it ought to be…but over at my parents………when the dogs stare..I feel like theres this poor starving being that will die if it doesnt eat, and ‘there I am’ just feasting away.

So far my reasons are:
1.) She’s on wet food, and it will already be hard enough (maybe) to get her on to dry food, I dont want any more complications.

2.) I think its rude when animals try to stare you down to get some food.

3.) Its unhealthy (I dont have back up ideas on this, it just seems plausible)

4.) I already have enough hardships trying to get her to not pooh and pee in the house, we are working on training her.
and what else????
I REALLY dont want to use the ol’…………"look at your dogs, I dont want mine to end up like them" routine… no one likes that when it comes to children/teenagers/ or animals :)

and PS: Yes, my parents will listen, they’re not the kind that need reasons, I just want to assure them that it should only be one way for my dog. I am the owner. And she shouldnt feed anything I dont want her to have. So far I told everyone in my family not feed her ANYTHING at all or I will be p*ssd off……….my dad wasnt there at the time, and then yesterday, he goes…"Oh do you feed her table scraps/left overs" and just replied that we dont ever have any, and that we’ve been eating light…

Grawwwrrr!!
