How spoiled is spoiled

Friends and family would agree I live to spoil my dog. Not so much long long ago but every time my dog died, the next one got just a bit more spoiled. The last two dogs, Jujube and Bella never had to eat dog food as I cooked for them. Once I retired I learned how to cook even healthier.

Bella came after Jujube passed and Juju made it to 15. Bella is now 16 and I am watching age ravage her with things like having a super hard time getting up stairs, those back legs aren't what they used to be.

When I went to take my Mom her ice cream I took a small bowl out of the carton for Bella because I don't eat ice cream. Then I did the same when I went to deliver Dad's box of Creme Brulee, I kept one bowl for Bella. I figured I could give her a little bit every night as a treat but last week I had an epiphany - why not give it to her for breakfast too - she is already 16 she can have whatever she damn well pleases.

So far I've learned she loves ice cream way more than baked Salmon as she will polish the ice cream off the Salmon and is done eating. I've never given my dogs raw meat before but since I started buying quailty grass fed, grass finished, organic ground meat I gave a little to Bella which she scarfed up. I will not give her cheap raw beef but now I have to buy the quality meat. Why do I do this? Bella is a tiny dog who does not enjoy eating - so I have to figure out what she will eat and when I see her excited to it -- EUREKA

I'm just grateful I can be as crazy in love with my dog as I want.
