Hunger Pains

If Radar was one of the Seven Deadly Sins, he would be Gluttony, hands down. Even after he has eaten a large meal, he snuffles around looking for more. I've caught him trying to eat a leaf just to prove he should get more food. How much should a 30 lb dog eat a day? I'm guessing we're already feeding him more than he needs: almost 2 cups of kibble a day. He's definitely put on some weight since we've had him.

The point is, Radar is already trying to play us against each other, much like a modified, "If Mom says no, ask Dad." The other morning, I got up a little earlier then usual, fed Radar, then went about my morning routine. About a half hour later, my husband got up and said he was going to feed Radar, who was apparently acting as he does when he knows it's mealtime, that is, standing in the kitchen doorway looking forlorn and hungry. The little bugger thought he could get two breakfasts!
