However, I am wiping literal tears of laughter from my eyes, because this is exactly<\/EM> the kind of thing I go through with Shadog the Greater and Shadog the Lesser on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Dog:<\/b> I am starving.
Me:<\/b> Actually, no. You aren’t starving. You get two very good meals a day. And treats. And Best Beloved fed you extra food while I was gone.
Dog:<\/b> STARVING.
Me:<\/b> I saw you get fed not four hours ago! You are not starving<\/i>.
Dog:<\/b> Pity me, a sad and tragic creature, for I can barely walk, I am so starving. WOE.
Me:<\/b> I am now ignoring you.
Dog:<\/b> STARVING.
Dog:<\/b> Did you hear me? I am starving.<\/i>
Dog:<\/b> Are you seriously ignoring me? Fine.<\/i><\/p>\n

Dog:<\/b> *picks up entire raw sweet potato, which is what was causing the baseball bat noise, and flees for the bedroom*
Me:<\/b> *chases dog, retrieves most of sweet potato, less the portion which has disappeared into dog’s gullet*
Dog:<\/b> See? STARVING.
Me:<\/b> …That can’t be good for you. It’s a RAW SWEET POTATO.
Dog:<\/b> I had to do it. I haven’t been fed. Ever.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
