Breakfast. And chewing.

Let's talk breakfast today.  They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for humans.  And you know, our breakfast routine is really fun.  Well, it's actually my HUMAN'S breakfast routine.  We eat OUR breakfast - and THEN we eat hers. As we should.

My human shares her banana with us each morning.  And while Einstein and I sit and swallow our pieces, the FG has to take his under the table and chew it.  It's a BANANA for heaven's sake,  how much chewing can you do?  

Now the yogurt container is REALLY fun.  My human has yogurt for breakfast each day and she has to eat it while standing.  Because we are crowded around her.  When she finishes, she holds the lid in one hand and has some yogurt on a spoon in the other hand.  I get to lick the lid, while Einstein and the FG share the spoon.  And then comes the container... Because Einstein is the oldest, he gets to go first.  My human counts 1-100, 2-100, 3-100, 4-100, 5-100 and then it's my turn, with the same countdown.  Finally it's the FG's turn - so he gets no count because, well, he gets the leftovers.  Now for those who think there is nothing left - I assure you there IS.  In FACT, sometimes we EACH still get one more quick lick.  

IF my human has cereal for breakfast, we might get to lick the bowl.  She's not big on sharing toast or English muffins.  She also doesn't share her coffee.  I'm not so sure we dogs should HAVE coffee - can you IMAGINE the FG with caffeine in him?

And back to the FG and eating - how is it that he can destroy a carpet in .067 seconds, and yet it takes him 12 minutes to eat a baby carrot?  He has essentially ruined the area carpet in the dining room.  It is BEYOND repair.  I remember when he took his first little bite.  And my human painstakingly camouflaged the tiny hole with marker - so it wouldn't be visible.  Bwhahahahahahhaha.  NOW you should see it!  It now has a fringe along the edges.  Everywhere.  And holes that look like giant moths have taken over our house.  In fact, it's SO bad that my human couldn't stand looking at it.  So in her not-so-infinite wisdom, she ordered a new area carpet. Which arrived the other day.  But now she's afraid to put it out.  Let's face it - if you don't watch the FG ALL THE TIME, he gets into something.  Carpet, table legs, chair rails....But give him something edible, and it takes him forever to eat it.  In the time that it takes me to eat 6 carrots, he is still on number 2.   He is just SO interesting.

Well, it's Thursday and the forecast is FINALLY calling for something called sun.  We have had snow, freezing rain, freezing fog (yes - the forecast SAID freezing fog),  rain, and general grey skies.  Hopefully this means we will FINALLY get some longer walks.  We need it.

Anyway, have a good one! And don't forget to have a good breakfast.
