One of my Favorite chew toys is my dads hand. i know, I know, the old saying, “You shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you”. ………but he only feeds me some of the time. ……….So oooooo, I figured it is ok to bite it some of the other times.
Plus it sometimes isn’t the hand. Sometimes I prefer the whole entire arm! …and there isn’t a saying, “don’t bite the arm that feeds you.” I already checked, (had to legal disclaimers and all).
Anyway he sometimes grabs my paws or my legs. He even bites me back sometimes too. Of course this is all play. I don’t bite too hard and he always feeds me in the end. So if I am getting fed even when I do bite the hand that feeds me then what does that really mean about the saying? Is it true? Is it false? Is it a hard and fast rule…or some sort of “guideline”? Is it an old wives tale?….also is an “old wives tale” a tale by old wives or an old tale by wives?….maybe an old tale by old wives?
Life Lesson: there are all sorts of rules, sayings, tales etc. in life pick and choose which ones you are going to follow, BUT pick and choose wisely.
Don’t you smell the hand first? You never know when it may not taste good. The hand may have touch some bad grass or something.

Nah, I figure the hand that feeds has to smell like the food that was there. If I am lucky, maybe it will have some tasty little morsels still on it.
