my dog loves me

in a needy sort of way. I adore him, but could do w/out the need for an aerosol of Febreze strategically placed in each room he frequents. Perhaps the beast just needs to let me know he is alive. Perhaps I should try a third type of dogfood. Can it get more expensive? Febreze is relatively cheap, i guess. It amuses me to be forced to use it by a creature I adopted.
