Tricking. And mattering.

So Halloween isn't until the end of the month, however, my human has begun her very own "tricking treaters" routine.  Not trick or treat.  TRICKING treaters.  Or maybe it should be tricking treatees.  But we have figured out her ploy.

Your see, she went to paradise last night.  That's my name for the gourmet pet store where she gets our food.  Which costs more than hers.  And while she was at paradise, she bought some biscuit treats.  And here is where part of the tricking begins.  She bought treats made for SMALL dogs.   Seriously.  So she gets more treats in a bag.  HOWEVER - we cannot be tricked.  We KNOW we are NOT small, so we just swallow the morsel and sit there waiting for more.  And get this - she gives it to us.  So at the end of the day, we each get 16 treats, which is equivalent to one average sized dog treat.  Hello?  She goes through the bag just as quickly as if she would have bought us the size made for us.  I guess she figures she can trick us because it seems like "more" to us.  Trust me - we are smarter than that.

On top of that - she is rationing the special treats she got from our friends in the US who came on Viktor's Adventure tours.  Minus Viktor.  She is rationing them and she said we can only have THOSE treats if we are really good.  If that's the case, they will have turned to dust before I ever get one.

On a final note, today is You Matter to Me Day.  With all the troubles that we have seen in the world recently, between political conflicts, senseless acts of violence and terrible weather occurrences, it goes to show us that one never knows from day to day what tragedy can occur.  So it's important to take the time, even a minute, to tell someone today that they matter to you.  They'll appreciate it - and so will you.   Oh and to all who read this crazy blog regularly, let me say "You matter to ME!"

Have a good one.  Peace and paws up!
