The One Percent
Hogan Here!
I don’t know why any dog gets up for
breakfast. Breakfast is, usually, heated
frozen food, strong coffee and unreasonable schedules. The only snack for a dog is licking a greasy
plate left in the sink. Drain board
surfing only finds daily lists and crumbs.
Most dogs are just salivating for nothing!
Well, I have other thoughts. Breakfast is really one of the sweet spots of
life. It is the time when thoughts can flow without interruption and good comfort
food can pave the day. I say, bring on the family
discussions basted with poached eggs and bacon but leave the table scraps on the
counter. Yes, allow everyone to move into their morning schedule with positive limits of planned accomplishments. Make sure that cleaning the kitchen isn't on that morning schedule.
Now, it's the dogs' moment! G-o-o-o-o
dogs! Go counter surfing! This is your sweet spot. You clean the kitchen. Later, when your folks come home, ask for forgiveness. It's too late for the permission part! And, if necessary, point out to your folks that, in a dog's world, they are in the One Percent! Can't they give up a few scraps? Yes, they can!
