Elijah, our Yorkie is not a happy puppy these days. Since Abby Rose entered our family I have put the older dogs on a diet. Elijah loves to eat. He would eat all his food then I would catch him in the cat food nibbling away. People dropped little treats into his mouth throughout the day because he was so cute and when I put him outside he would get into the bird food of all things. I finally said....Elijah that is enough. I am monitoring your food and you are going to be svelte , healthier and stronger. He does not like me these days. He misses those happy times of bliss when food comforted him and made a dreamy look in his eyes. I did give him a piece of green pepper yesterday and part of an apple and you would think he had died and gone to heaven.
The second photo of Abby curled up on him was after he licked the plate clean, looked up with his sweet little puppy eyes and tried to beg for me to give him more. I did not give in or flinch even though my heart wanted to give him more....so...off he went to his pillow, with Abby following him, and they curled up together. He had tried and was looked defeated, poor guy. It was as if Abby was consoling him and saying. "There , there Elijah. everything will be alright."
Have a blessed day and go kiss your pets today.
