Both yesterday and today my 20-year-old cat and Wolf have been driving me nuts, especially when I have food.   This afternoon Wolf started crying.  I couldn't figure out what was bothering him.  I finally decided to give him his dinner early.  The poor puppy went insane when I picked up the bag of food and he inhaled his bowlful.  When the cat saw the dog eating, he started to howl. 

Seems my husband, who had been feeding the cat and dog when he got up at 5:30, has decided he doesn't have time to attend to the task....only, he didn't bother to tell us.  No wonder the poor babies were going so nuts whenever they saw us with food.

So, this evening my son had one of his horrible headaches and was sound asleep at dinnertime.  My husband kept asking when he and I were going to eat.  I never answered.  I'm turning in for the night .  Hubby is sitting on the couch eating a Klondike bar and Saltines. 

When my son woke up, all he wanted was some soup and crackers.  I gave him the whole can. 

Am I being exceptionally cruel to my hubby?

Don't blame you at all! Pets have no way...except the way yours did..to tell you no one fed them. Suppose you had been gone for the day...poor darlings. We had a hired man once we had to fire as he kept forgetting to feed our heifers .....UGH!

Ok thats not even funny. He should be ashamed. At least he could get something for himself but the animals couldn't. Sheesh. I say throw the Klondike bars out and let him suffer!!

Yes he should be ashamed, and your not overreacting. (maybe I don't want a hubby after all)

No you're not overreacting! Poor animals can't open the fridge and get something for themselves and if he didn't want to feed them he should have told you so that you could have fed them!

Nope, not overreacting. Did you talk to him about it. (Head slap) What am I thinking -- of course you did and he doesn't get it, he probably doesn't see what he did wrong. You know what -- he knows what he did wrong, he just won't admit it!

Not overreacting, I'd be furious with fiance! He is supposed to walk Yogi when he gets home from work (much earlier then me) if he stopped and just "didn't tell me" he'd have some explaining to do!

Nope, you didn't overreact. But I wonder what kind of game hubby was trying to play by not telling you that he'd stopped feeding them. Was he feeling taken for granted? The big baby.

Are you over-reacting? Personally, I think you need to put your hubby in a crate for a few nights and give him a kong filled with peanut butter!

No you're not overreacting.  Puppies need to eat several times a day and small breed dogs don't have much fat or reserves and can suffer attacks of hypoglycemia, which can be life threatening.  So to be fair,  you should have slapped the Klondike and saltines out of his hand.

My opinion is that he should've at least told you that he wasn't going to feed them before he stopped doing it.

Definitely not over reacting. Sounds quite reasonable to me.

I hadn't thought of the hypoglycemia angle, but it's ironic as my husband can drop into severe hypoglycemia at the drop of a hat. I've seen it get so bad that he literally loses consciousness. Once in an effort to get sugar into him, I gave him a piece of a chocolate bar, and he passed out right in the middle of the floor. Being diabetic, I know the awful feeling when my blood sugar plummets. I can't imagine how scary it would be for a puppy. Maybe I should put Wayne in Mack and Emily's old dog house tonight????

Nora, I love it. I screamed here at my desk laughing at what you said. I totally agree.

Kaet, no you are not wrong. I would have given him the whole can and the can opener too! The nerve of them. Who do they think they are!.... Our babies doe come first.

Now my boyfriend who wants to become a husband couldn't find my Shadow's dog food... so he gave him his Razor's food... except Razor is a cat... Believe me he won't do that again....

I applaud you for sticking up for your babies... You ROCK!!!
