However, there is a disbeliever in MY family, my very own littermate! He has tempted fate by daring to wager the large sum of $1 that this will not be the case. But as the older, and wiser sibling, I took his wager. I may allow him to eat the big people table, so that he may earn the error of ways. Ah, youth.... The sheer nerve of the boy....but the truth shall set him free. I threatened to cut him off with no dessert, as I am baking his VERY favorite cookies, for thinking he can have such an attitude in this house. Perhaps I will put his dinner in between the bowls of two dogs. Or put him on pooper scooper duty! He tried to back down, and suggested that instead of the lump sum, the loser washes dishes....But I have already washed and ironed a very nice apron for him, and he WILL get to choose between two different bottles of dishwashing liquid. On the other hand, he had just finished baking pumpkin pie and was starting on the pecan pie when we spoke so I suppose I will let him in. Our bitch is very sensitive and prefers to sit outside when we watch football. Perhaps I can put a little tray on the patio for him.... In the meantime, I shall be planning on how to spend my winnings ;- ) Kelly ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
