Feeding the Family Pet
Created | Updated Mar 4, 2002
When a family welcomes a lovable creature into their into their lovable home, new responsibilities are given to all members in order to make sure the scruffy thing doesn't kick over prematurely. I currently live in a home with a pet, whom I like, and I think she likes me as evidenced by the constant flow of attention and harassment I get from her (Of course, whether or not the thing likes you is irrelevent, given that once you welcome it into your home, you can't get rid of it without allowing your neighbors to think you are a cold, heartless jerk).
Back to the point. Feeding is often a large part of insuring the furry thing lives. If you are unlucky, you are assigned the morning feeding time. The reasones forthis are as follows:
1) If you have this responsibility, it means you probably have to be awake in the morning anyway, which is a general negative.
2) Furry will quickly recognize that you are the morning feeder, and will begin waking you up at progressively earlier hours, in progressively more annoying ways.
3)You MUST be coherent in the morning for the feeding, or the furry will end up with your cornflakes, and you will end up this a bowl of really, really crunchy cereal.
