Of the 3 canines living here, Boomer is the biggest snitch and a spoiled brat (dragon calls him 'her best boy')  He always manages to sit on her knee, or at least he sidles up to her, leans heavily and then rests his stump on her thigh and whines until she scratches his back or strokes his tummy.  He is expert at whinging and whining.  The other day he got me into awful trouble???
     At lunchtime she gives us our treat for the day - A CHICKEN WING!!  I wolf mine down in one where I stand, Figment takes his quietly into his bed and looks at it for 5 minutes and then eats it while I have to watch and drool.  Snitchface (Boomer) takes his into the sitting room and eats it on the settee.  The other day we'd had our treat and the dragon was having her lunch when the 'brat' came to the kitchen door and whined until she looked at him, and then he trotted off down the hall.  Two minutes later he was back at the kitchen whining, when she looked up, he trotted off down the hall again.  He repeated this several more times until eventually the dragon got up to see what the matter was. ????

      In my defence, I liked the way I had re-arranged the sitting room.  I was sure Boomer had dropped a bit of his wing down the back of the settee, so I dismantled it to see.  The settee cushions were artfully and randomly strewn about the floor, and I'd ripped out the stuffing on the settee down to the wooden slats, yet no extra chicken wing.  So she got out the 'Pim Whacker' , and all because that snitch wanted on the settee!
     It was 2 days before I saw another chicken wing.                                                 XX Pim
