I love my dog, too, Honeybun but she's getting crafty in her old age (are we all??). As I have been unwell, my husband has been giving her morning snacks before he leaves for work, to save me getting up too early (yes he's wonderful). When I get up at 7, Holly brings her snack bowl to me and looks at me pleadingly, as if to say "where's my morning snack?". No use telling her she has already had it from Steve! Or do you think their memory is just going, like some of us? Maybe she truly has forgotten she has eaten? (Fat chance).
