Mojo and Friends: Dirty trick?

Dirty trick?

Mojo didn't eat his breakfast, lunch or dinner yesterday. It was really weird. But as soon as Matt come home from 16-hour shift working the football game, Mojo hurriedly ate all the dinner still in his bowl.

Apparently Mojo missed Matt and wouldn't eat until he was home.

Matt had to work again today and again Mojo didn't even look at his food. So I took matters into my own hands.

I heated up a bowl of homemade soup for my lunch. And of course Mojo took up a spot right next to me, licking his chops and begging for food.

I moved Mojo's food bowl next to the table, and put some carrots from the soup in his bowl. Every few minutes I'd drop some more carrots into his food. He eagerly gobbled them up and pretty soon I had tricked Mojo into eating all of his lunch.

About Mojo & Friends

The adventures of a hilarious German Shepherd mix,

a sweet tabbico cat, a crazy Manx cat and a lazy fluff ball.

Affectionately known as "the kids," Mojo, Katie, Gunnar and Ozzy live with their mom and dad in an awesome college town in the South.

Mojo is a German Shepherd mix. He's outgoing, wants to meet and LOVE everyone.

As a puppy, Mojo was minutes away from being put to sleep when the folks at Pawtropolis rescued him. He was the sickly runt of the litter with fleas then, but after coming home with us he's grown from 4 pounds to 75 pounds (and back down to 63) and is one of the best dogs ever.

Katie is a sweet, shy cat who loves ham and playing with her shoelace. She also loves to cuddle. She was born the week of her parents wedding in her mom's closet. She was adopted and then abandoned by her then-family. But now she's a happy girl whose learned to purr. She was our first pet.

Gunnar is the newest addition to the gang. Born in the doghouse at my sister's, Gunnar was adopted shortly after melting our hearts after we visited. He and Mojo and the bestest of friends. Every night they play and groom each other. He's a Manx-mix. True to the breed, he's a round, roly-poly cat, who is super high energy and just a little crazy.

Ozzy is our newest addition. He chose us. Literally. He camped out on our porch and told us he was living with us. He tried to come in repeatedly. He resorted to kissing Mojo when we took him outside. And Mojo asked us why the kitty couldn't come inside. After a month of this, we took him to the vet and he was ours. He's since tripled in size and he's gone from short hair to luxuriously long haired. He loves to sleep and eat and will occasionally flop down in a lap for a cuddle.
