Mother's Day Treat

Today is Mother's Day! I gave Jiggy, Motmot, and Layla, my three furry kids, some Tender Slices with Real Beef in Gravy for breakfast this morning as a special Mother's Day treat and they loved it!

The three of them are so funny. I always serve them canned food in a special bowl, not their bowls for the usual dry kibbles, and they go gaga every time I bring out those special bowls. They jump up on tables and counters, meow with gusto, and rub their heads against my legs with such force that they could knock me down. This morning was no exception. They followed me all the way to the kitchen and watched me from atop the refrigerator while I washed their special bowls, and then Jiggy surreptitiously tried to reach for a can of 9Lives on the table. As if he could open it by himself. Haha!

Later tonight when I give them their usual dry kibbles for dinner, I know they're going to sniff it and look at me with that accusing look in their eyes as if to say, "What, dry kibbles again?!" But I never feel guilty. Because I know that if I fed them canned food for each and every meal, they'd be obese in no time and I don't want that. :) I guess that's what mothers call "tough love". Hehe...
