I think if Joshua could talk he would say his best friend is Terrence. They spend a lot of time together and Terrence really doesn't get crabby with Joshua like Natalie does. Recently Joshua has realized his friend Terrence is hungry. And Terrence has realized Joshua has food. This is really not good. Anytime Joshua is eating something he merely likes (as opposed to loves; no one is getting that kid's formula) he generously gives a handful to Terrence. Here he is sharing his snack. You can see his in his mouth and he is handing Terrence a piece. The worst is when Terrence only bites off half of it and then Joshua wants to eat the other half. I am not sure what to do about this. It would be easier if it started some time other than the hottest part of the summer because I could just send Terrence outside at mealtimes. But Joshua is a slowish eater and I really can't have Terrence outside for that long when it's so hot since he's a pug.
What a cute picture. I think kids and their animals have been colluding for centuries. I can understand your frustration though. Perhaps Terrance could go in his crate - but maybe he would object to loudly. Sometimes there aren't any easy answers.
