I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. Treats are great, especially the ones Lady Human is giving us now. Not that I didn’t like the other ones and if she brings them again, I will certainly participate. I am not snooty.
Me: Snooty?
Stella: Dogs that turn down treats are snooty.
Me: Okay. You mean that you should eat what is placed before you.
Stella: Yes. No. Maybe.
Me: What’s your problem today?
Stella: I don’t like the way some of us enjoy our treats.
Me: By some of us, to whom are you referring specifically?
Stella: Shhh! This is just between you and me. It’s Tiger. She’s so snappy when you offer her a treat.
Me: Yeah, she does get a little too excited. I’ve been correcting her on that.
Stella: If you hold the treat above her and drop it, she is a great catcher.
Me: True.
Stella: But when you offer it to her face, she gets so excited, half the time she knocks it out of your hand and doesn’t even know where it went.
Me: Yeah, and if she doesn’t knock it out of my hand, she snaps at my fingers. She doesn’t mean to, but she is so greedy for it.
Stella: Yes, greedy. I understand greedy. It is a desire that takes over your mind and heart. You can’t think of anything else but what will satisfy the greed. It is like a burning fire in your bones…
Me: All that for a treat?
Stella: Yes, Lady Human, don’t you feel that way when there is a treat in front of you? Doesn’t it take over your life until you have it?
Me: It used to. Not anymore. I worked at not letting it.
Stella: That is so strange. Why don’t you have a greedy mouth like ours?
Me: I am not a bulldog.
Stella: That says it all.
