<DIV>Crackers went to his favorite vet lady Dr. Robyn for his annual checkup and
vaccines. He is in good shape but she wants him to gain a few pounds. This will
not be a hardship for Crackers who thinks he is being starved all the time. I
was a little surprised because over the past couple of weeks the trio has
managed to dispose of a package of shredded mozzarella, two cartons of low
sodium chicken broth, a tub of whipped cream cheese, two green bell peppers and
an apple all stolen off the counter at night while I was sleeping. I had to pry
a half loaf of bread from Crackers after Loki pulled in down for him over the
weekend as he wanted to eat it, wrapper and all. <BR><FONT size=2
face=sans-serif>How do I know they shared? The evidence is in the poop. How do
they get it? I have no clue as I push all edibles to the very back of the
counter. </FONT><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>The trick will be to feed
Crackers extra without interference from Loki and Jordan. There is no food
aggression here. When anyone finishes, they stick their snooter in the bowl of
one who has not finished and help them to empty out the bowl. I think Crackers
will be dining alone in the laundry room from now on.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2

towel and keep mopping his face as he tossed a few big ones that stuck to the
walls!</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Kathy with Crackers the starving
basset, Loki and Jordan the co-conspirators</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2
