Bottomless Pits

Linda was so frustrated with us today.  We had our regular breakfast at 7:00 a.m.  She splits our meals so we get 1/2 in the morning and half around 7:00 p.m.  Both Chim and I started bugging her for more food at 11:30 a.m.  Barking, whining and dancing non-stop.  It made her crazy, so she kept putting us on the deck to divert our attention.  The second we came back in, it would start all over.  By 3 p.m. when she finally said "OK, do you want your Chicken?" a riot ensued.  She almost couldn't walk to the kitchen because we were tripping her and jumping on her legs. She took 1/2 of our dinner portion and gave it to us for lunch.  That held us for about 2 hours, and then it was like we hadn't eaten in a week.  After church, we had the last part of our dinner.  Chim has calmed down, but I'm still yipping for more.  I've pushed the empty bowl all over the floor trying to get her attention. 


Maybe she is not feeding us enough, but it is what the Vet recommended.  I get about 1/2 cup of food plus a few low-cal dog treats. Chim gets 2 cups along with his cookies.  We finish our bowls in about 1 minute.  Once is awhile she'll put dry food down, but neither of us eat much of that.  We'll take one or two pieces of kibble and eat it like a snack.  All I know is that Chim is skinny and I'm not.  Not fair!
