Back when I was still an only dog, mommy was dating this guy, and for Valentine’s day he was supposed to come for dinner. Mommy worked all afternoon making a really special dessert, and steamed artichokes and lobster tails for dinner. He was supposed to be at our house at 7 to eat - well, 7:30 came, 8:00 came, 9:00 came and he still hadn’t shown up, so mom decided to eat without him. She made her plate up and took all of the lobster out of the shell, and put it on the plate with her vegetables and a big baked potato. Then she went to sit down at the table, but just as she did, the phone rang so she figured it was this guy and she got up to answer it (humans can be so pathetic sometimes!). Never one to miss a chance, I leaped up at the table and SNATCHED that lobster tail right off the plate - oh no! Mom saw me do it and she yelled "DROP IT!" - just like she did in obedience class. And being the sort of obedient dog that I was back then, I did. She must have felt really bad, because then she let me have the lobster back to eat, and she even shared the other one with me. I think that since this loser guy didn’t show up that I deserved it more than he did anyway! Besides, I was trying to be nice - I even left mommy the potato and the artichoke, so she wouldn’t have gone hungry.

Nowadays I’m a really good girl since I came back from the Rainbow Bridge last summer. But I have had my share of misadventures, and once upon a long time ago I had no one else to blame them on. But it’s so much more fun now with the boyz, since they’re the ones mom yells at and I just get to be the Queen. What, me do anything WRONG?? NEVER!!! hee, hee, hee : )! Tia
