Popcorn Privileges

For whatever reason, one night several months ago, Woman decided she would give me some popcorn. I never get "people" food, but Woman felt popcorn could be the exception since the People eat it so rarely. I was a good boy about getting popcorn on occasion, and I ate my pieces with gentlemanly conduct, often biting each piece in half to savor the flavor and really make it last.

Fast forward a couple months. You see a maniac popcorn demanding devil dog. From the time I hear Ian start the microwave to when the last morsel of popcorn is swallowed, I am barking my head off, whining and being a general greedy Pete. That is when I lost my popcorn privileges.

Woman felt so bad for me when I lost my privileges and explained that I could not earn them back until I behaved again. It took several weeks of me watching Ian eat the popcorn quietly from Woman's lap before he would trust me with popcorn again. Last night, I finally got some tastes! Oh, it was so yummy and worth being good for. Ian even told me I was not "that bad" of a dog and "kind of behaved" when waiting for my popcorn. What joy to have my popcorn privileges back again. I better enjoy it now, because this good behaviour can't last long. I am a bad dog after all!

On another note, Woman wants to let you know that she has Giggs' mom's Pay it Forward gift finished, and she is currently working on lmizzle's. She is making them in the order that people signed up, so Roy and Gwen's mom - yours will be started soon. She thinks she might mail Giggs' mom's gift this week! Everyone is getting a different gift, so if you want to blog about it, you can.

On yet another note, Woman brought me home a gravy dipped rib from the store last night! Oh joy! It is so yummy.
