The dogfood update.

I found him eating from the dog's bowl this morning. With real relish- he protested loudly when I picked him up and tried to scrape the food out of his mouth. He also found my noises of disgust hilarious.

We've been buying the pricey dogfood since we adopted Polly two years ago. Now I see why: because it's delicious!

I had mentally classified this as a new parenting low, but a friend reframed it by saying "ah, now you can hold this over him all his life! When he's a lippy teen you can say "well you liked eating dogfood! Hah? Now who's so cool?"

Parenting seems to be mainly a matter of keeping your sense of humour intact.
