Mum's hand-feeding me...

So, I've been having some problems with allergies lately. "Tis the season, I guess. I have a really, really, really snocky nose, and my Mum is always wiping it with wet ones with aloe, or with kleenex, or with whatever she has handy. Personally, I like to use my right foreleg...

One problem with this allergy thing is that when I can't breathe I can't eat. I put my head down into my bowl and it's just a big, big problem. I'm trying to eat and breathe and I start to have difficulties. So, Mum has been hand-feeding me lately. I don't choke, I get to eat all my food without too much effort on my part, AND I get a lot of personal attention from Mum that the Dixie Dog Infestation doesn't get. Hey, works for me!!
