Hi! It’s me again; Goose!
I really like to eat. I always let my Mom or Dad know when I’m hungry. They only time I am more vocal is when there is someone at the door. Every so often my parents wash my food and water bowl. I’m not sure why, the longer it sits the better it starts to smell. But, Mom says that bacteria can start to grow in my bowls if they are not washed with hot soapy water. Mom says the food bowls need to be washed after every meal and the water bowl every couple of days. She also says it’s a good idea to wash hands before and after handling my food to prevent passing contamination. Mom says that microbes that live in my mouth can be transferred to the food and water bowls creating an area where bacteria can flourish. That sounds really gross.
Gotta run, time to tell Mom that I’m hungry.
