My favorite time of day
There are lots of great times of the day, but my very favorite comes in the evening when the humans start puttering around in the kitchen. When I hear the squinch-squinch sound of the can opener, then I know… It’s Klingon feeding time!
Here’s the thing about Klingons. They’re carnivores, which means they’re supposed to have nice meaty diets. The humans give me dog kibble, which is fun to crunch in your mouth, but it isn’t as juicy and stinky and delicious as food from a can. That’s the kind of food the Klingons get to eat. Well, two of the three Klingons anyway. The third one doesn’t care for moist food and only eats dry kibble, which only goes to show what small brains Klingons have.
Now you might think it’s a little bit unfair that the two sensible Klingons get yummy canned food and I don’t. But I’ll tell you a little secret. I get some of the Klingons’ food, too. Sometimes #2 sneaks me a bite, and sometimes I take matters into my own hands … er, mouth, and dart in for a bite when the Klingons are finished.
Of course, such an exciting event as canned food time demands a song. When dogs get excited, they sing. Don’t you?
Here I am, singing the canned food song.
In case you want to sing along, #2 made up some human words to the song. Of course the dog words are better, but the human words are good too. They go:
Canned food! Canned food!
Give me your canned food, do!
I like canned food
So much I’ll bark at you!
The melody is “Bicycle Built For Two.”
One of the Klingons also sings along sometimes, but she meows instead of barking and that just isn’t right at all.
