Sparky was salty and judgmental after I made a batch of megaroni and cheese.  I thought he might be feeling ignored, so I asked him to join me on the couch.  Sparky was still kind of bitchy, so it had to be something else.

I got him to open up, and he confided that I got a big pot of spicy sausage megaroni and cheese, and he didn’t get shit.

It’s important that Sparky knows that he is valued, so I gave him this empty jar.

After about 90 seconds, he gave me this.

Sparky was a little miffed that he had to ask.  I agreed and complimented him on having a prehensile tongue like a tapir, then showed him some tapir pictures.

Sparky said he’d never seen such a dopey looking dog, and we both laughed.
