i heard the sound of paws hitting the counter top…

and the snuffling laps that followed.

Shit, i thought, i forgot to put the pan in the sink – too hurried to wash it right away…

.

all dog training is built on successes, and he is very successful at counter surfing!

BARK! came the cry of the small dog, whose paws would never reach that high –

CLATTER!  the poodle deftly hit the pan on the handle, flinging it to the floor –

where both could partake of the grease and glory.

.

Bad dog? nah, Good Dog!

and i got a lesson in equality.

it doesn’t always look like you think…
