Lip Smakin' Good!

Hi everyone! Yep. Me again. You know dogs don't usually have much to say. We dig and scratch and sometimes bark or howl. But all you faithful readers know that me, lovely Lisi has stories to share. Tales to tell. And that usually means I've made some big person in my life worried, upset, tickled, or just plain mad. This time I got a good feeliing (right after my scruff shake) that I didn't make a good choice.

We had a grand afternoon. Did you know it was warm here? I thought it was going to get cold and snowy pretty soon. But no! It was warm. Hot. And the big lady that yells at me but loves me anyway was out with the boy who has lots of energy like me. They were having a blast playing catch with a baseball. I caught some too and they really put up a good chase! Wheee! So then the big (and sometimes crabby) lady says she needs to get inside and get supper finished up. Yum! I stay tied up for awhile then the littlest one here let me in the house. I could smell food. I smell meat. Yum. The big lady is putting a lot on the table. I see baked beans, corn, coleslaw, and cornbread. And! PUT IT DOWN THERE. Oh boy! She did! And she's distracted. She's walking away. And she's leaving me alone with... bbq RIBS!!! They are at the veeeerrrrry edge of the table. Oh I shouldn't. I can't. Nope. That would be wrong. Wait a minute. I'm not even a year old. I have no self-control. YES! YES! YES! Ribs! For me!!! I look both ways and quickly pull one off the plate. Oh rats. It clunked. The big lady is running and screaming. I cower. I try to look sad. Frightened. Remorseful. But I'm not. I just tasted some awesome ribs. But she grabs me. Gives me a scruff shake while yelling. (that's the equivilent of a dog spanking) And out I go. Tied up again. I hear the big lady saying she can't wait for the hidden fence thing so I am an outdoor dog for real. I'm still not sure how I feel about all that. But I do know this. BBQ ribs are really great!
