I do not spoil my dogs.

• Dakota will spit out a treat because it is the wrong flavor.
• Jimbo will cry when another dog is on his favorite bed.
• Jimbo will also squeeze himself next to the dog on his favorite bed.
• There are times when there is no room for me on my bed.
• I have dogs that prefer to sleep rather than go out to relieve themselves.
• I have dogs that prefer sleep instead of eating a treat.
• My dogs wake up in the morning 1 hour after me.
• I have a dog that waits until I pick up the doggie droppings in the yard before he will go.
• Dakota will sniff my fingers when I offer her a treat. She is checking to see if I have something better.
• Some of the dogs will refuse their breakfast if it is too early in the morning.
• Jimbo wants his breakfast outside in the middle of the backyard.
• Dakota will only eat her dinner if the room’s light is on.
• Darryl will only eat large dog biscuits in the backyard.
• If I don’t place Jazzy’s food bowl in the correct location she will pick it up and move it herself.
• Dakota will only eat her breakfast if I place it beside her on her bed.
• Jimbo will not take a dog biscuit from my hand, instead he will point his nose downward indicating where I should place the treat.
• I have two “seatings” for dinner because Jimbo will only eat when he is alone.
• All of my dogs have chosen their preferred locations in the back of my SUV.
• When we are at the Friends of Greyhounds dog park my dogs will not get in the car to go home unless we first visit the office.

I don’t spoil my dogs because there is nothing left to spoil.
