She assumed she lost.

Friends, I won. And Luna lost.
I waited until sundown to fill her dish with dog food. Pigeons love it but Luna doesn´t. I did not have any delicious food to give to her. I cooked chicken today but I will eat it all myself.
Yesterday she would not eat all the food even if I gave her less. She looked at it with the same face I look at fast food restaurants.
But today she was hungry and it was getting late. She thought that maybe I had forgotten to feed her. I couldn´t explain to her that I preferred not to have her eat food that was licked by birds. Specially now that they are talking about a terrible flu transmited by birds.
So when I half filled her dish, she politely let me pet her for a while but soon went to eat.
Friends, I won. And she won too because she is fed.
Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I´ll look for more old food to give to her. For the moment, I have enough place in the freezer for 3 kilos of ice cream. I´m rich.
And I´m ready to buy Luna some bones for her. If I take out the old food, I´ll have room for both my girl and for me. Anita told me that she could buy some less expensive bones for Luna in her neighborhood. There aren´t those kind of things in my neighborhood.
Soon I will have to be making another grocery list. But That one will include Luna in another way. I want her to lose some weight but in the good way.

Many years ago I could buy bones nearby. Now the nearest butcher is very far from my house.

I know. I have gathered some from the garden after she licks them. She leaves nothing.

I will try to cook food for Luna once every week after my freezer cleaning is over. It will be more centered in a day of meat of fish.

@marguicha Those birds are terrible, when they discover the pets food they always come to steal some.

I have 3 different ice cream pots in my freezer now.
I remember that some time ago I could not buy ice cream because I did not have a place to keep it.

@wolfgirl569 We are in summer here. I´m not too much interested in ice cream when it is winter.

It is funny how our pets finally decide to eat their food.

my plan is working for her and for me. She will eat better for a while and I will clear the older food in my freezer.

I can only give Luna food for human beings some days. I know that food for dogs are well balanced. So she has to undertand that.

@marguicha I wonder if she does understand that. It's good the food you give her is well-balanced.
