I love cheese!  My buddy likes to keep her engery up in the day with a mid morning snack.   Today I was snoozing on my pillow when all of a sudden I heard one of my favorite noises, the sound of my buddy opening packages of what she calls string cheese!    After hearing the sound, the sense of smell evaded my nose!  Hey, I am a bassett hound and have excellent sense of smell!  I decided I had to go investigate the situation, so off to the breakroom I go.   What did I find?  My buddy was indeed enjoying a cheese snack.   Instantly I gave her the "eye".. you know puppy begging eyes.  It didn't work!   The cheese smelled SO good, I had to at least have a nibble.  My next step was, "shake."  I put my paw on her lap and once again gave her the "eye."    Woof!  It worked and I got a small strip of cheese!  It made my day!   I don't get snacks all the time.   My buddy thinks it is important to eat regularly and not skip meals.   She eats 5 small meals a day.  That gives me 5 chances for a snack!  She only feeds me dry food twice a day.  At times it gets boring.  She says for people, eating 5 small meals keeps your engery up all day for dogs, we have too much energy at times so 2 times a day works fine.  I think I will go take a nap and ponder how wonderful it would be to eat 5 times a day.
