…the conversation around the dinner table would go something like this:
DOG:  “Um, mom?  Could I please have that steak that you made for your dinner?  Maybe you could eat my beefy bits doggie food … or even ramen noodles … instead?”
ME:  “Why of course!  That is exactly what I had in mind!”
I mean really…..how could you resist these pleading eyes?  I would be a big old push over for sure!  Can’t you just picture him saying that?!  🙂
