Caitey is on hunger strike!

Houston we have a problem: Caitey is not eating.

It all started from the moment I gave her some of the pork and chicken my husband had cooked.

Now if you are one of our friends and know his culinary talent, you would know what happened. I mean the guy has this passion that takes place in the kitchen. His famous dishes like Szechuan style water boiled fish, ribeye steak and wine marinated chicken are frequent requests from friends who dine in our place. His food not only spoiled us and made us complain about regular chain restaurant food, looks it is doing the same thing with Caitey as well.

Can you blame me? I only gave her a few pieces of his pork ribs, chicken wings and drums for her to grind on the bones, and when I turned around there was absolutely nothing on the floor -- not only she chewed up all the meat and bones, she even licked my floor squeaky clean!

...and she gave up kibble altogether!

Worse, she starts to follow me everywhere I go with this pathetic begging look in her eyes that is making mommy feeling very guilty. Sometimes she will put her front legs on the kitchen cabinets trying to see where that good smell is coming from. Give her a month she is going to steal from the pot on the stove and get her burnt.

Caitlin and I are the soft mushy ones in the family so we are really concerned and want to give her some good treats just so she would not get starved. Claire and her dad however, are very good at being cold-blooded -- "Let her stay hungry, then she will eat anything", "you can't let her get into this bad habit".

Oh well, I do know dry food is better for Caitey's teeth so I have decided to refrain from feeding her home cooked food... for 10 minutes.

While I go duck in a dark corner of the house trying to stay away from Caitey (I just can't look at those sad begging eyes), I start to pray that she is not going to starve herself into a flat picture!

So Caitey good doggie, paw-lease eat something so mommy does not have to get so worried.
