Do you remember the nursery rhyme about Old Mother Hubbard? If you don't here is it
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggie a bone,
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor little doggie had none
I just took the dogs out and when they do their business they know to expect a doggie treat when they come back inside. When I looked in the doggie jar there were only two lonely little biscuits at the bottom. Both dogs were looking at me with great anticipation of their treat and I felt so bad I had to break one in half and they only got a tiny little piece. The other one will have to be for later.
Thankfully we'll be doing the grocery shopping either later today or tomorrow so the doggie treat jar will get refilled.
Do you ever feel like Old Mother Hubbard when you open your cabinet and it's bare?

My husband does the shopping so I expect it to be loaded with the necessities...right now there is no peanut butter...I left it at my sisters house after camping, I'm thinking I should go to the store and see what else I'm missing...

Ours are never bare.. but most the time only food in them are foods my mom and brother will eat. As I'm trying not to snack much, unless i make a baked good like the cookies i made yesterday.

Yes, at one time I noticed that my cat Sid's wet food supply depleted very quickly. So now I have learned how to keep the supply at an even level so I don't have to face an angry kitty with no food.

Yes, had that problem yesterday after getting rid of everything not on my diet plan. So I went shopping this morning to fill in the gaps. I hope your doggies are happy once again with their treats.
