Yeah, doggie, I believe ya. You just finished pushing your bowl halfway across the kitchen while you were licking it clean. There was a good bellyful of food in that bowl. How can you still be hungry?

Lacey and Sabata Sleeping In

One good thing about sharing an apartment with someone who is owned by three cats: my dog always has a comfy place to sleep, and there are always lots of chances for cute pictures. Well, I guess that was two good things.
