Lunch TIME!

 Oh Charlie whatever are we going to do with you?! Every day I eat my lunch and Charlie sits there and watches me in hopes that I'll be a messy eater and drop some food. Sometimes I do on purpose so he can have a little excitement on his lunch break, (don't tell him that tho, it would probably take out the excitement of it)!  Well, recently he used that ticker and thought about how he could get more food, I'm assuming it went a little like this, "Okay, so she doesn't drop that much food, and she won't willingly give me any of her food, how can I get more?? WAIT she loves to give me food when I do those dumb tricks she taught me, but she isn't asking me to do any tricks. hmm…..”

As Charlie thought up this fabulous plan that was sure to work, I was off eating my lunch and wondering why he was being so calm and quiet. I should have known he was devising a plan...weenies are just too smart now a days! Low and behold that little doxie comes over to me, makes a little grunt for me to look at him I look over at him and he's on his back with all four paws in the air. At first I just brushed it off as nothing, but that really made him upset! So he does another loud grunt and again I look over, yep he's doing just what I thought... rolls over puts all his paws in the air again and does another satisfying grunt as if to say, "Okay Mom, I'm playing dead give me that treat of whatever smells so good on your plate that I know I deserve!" Still on his back, making grunting noises and looking up at me with these longing black eyes, I just busted up laughing. There was no way I couldn't give him anything. I mean to figure that one out all on his own...he's a genius! ;o)

That was the WRONG thing to do, now without fail every lunch, its grunt bark roll over, grunt bark roll over and play dead, grunt bark why aren't you giving me any food!!! Grunt bark lay down? Grunt bark BUT MOM!!!! So now I have this gruntie weenie doing all his tricks perfectly just to land some human food. Now you tell me, who owns who???!!!!!
