An encounter with dog food

Isabel loves to pet the dog. But Merlynn always licks her. So Isabel learned that when Merlynn gets fed she is more interested in the food then her. So Isabel loves to pet Merlynn while she eats.

The other day we were playing and Mikey came up to fed the dog, Isabel ran over to them. I figure ok this is normally. So I was a bit surprised when Mikey asked me what Isabel was eating. I go over and she has a huge amount of dog food in her mouth. As I am taking it out she is screaming at me. What a great mother I am, she is hungry and had to resort to eating dog food. You should have seen what she ate after I cleaned her up and put her in the highchair.

What I can't figure out is how she got the dog food from Merlynn in the first place. Merlynn is normally very protective when it comes to her food. Maybe Merlynn was willing to share since Isabel gives her so much of her own food. Oh well, guess I will have to watch the two of them more carefully.

I love stories like this! My brother ate dog food all the time when he was very young. He is now seven feet tall!

let's hope Isabel doesn't get to be 7 feet! That is one of the reasons I don't want a dog. Grace has been eating play doh lately so I have had to monitor that closer. It's made for some exciting diapers though!
