Cheating the System

Ruby and Dora have gained some weight lately (haven't we all). So I had the brilliant idea of purchasing automatic pet feeders. They get a pre-portioned amount of food at 6:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 6:30 PM. This way, if we are working late, they still get 3 square meals a day. But these darn pugs have been finding ways around their diet. Ruby is the worst because she has such a long tongue, she has figured out that she can stick her tongue up the chute and knock more kernels of Science Diet out! And then there's Dora, who prefers people food and helping us with the dishes (I promise, I don't let her do it very often! It's just so cute!)
