Bacon Flavored Kisses

Baby our black lab is a little spoiled around the edges.  She has my husband well trained, however.  You see it was love at first sight for both of them when she came to us. I digress.

Monday my husband had breakfast at the Hogg Wild Cafe.  Monday our high was about 45 degrees and a low of 15, with snow flurries.  He had brought home a slice of bacon but forgot it in the pickup.   When he came home from running some errands that evening he brought it in.

Baby was sitting on top of the crate waiting for him.  She quickly smelled the bacon.  Dan sat down near her and waited for her customary kiss.  Baby was focused on the bacon.  Dan talked with her, explaining she could have her treat as soon as he got his kiss.

She was not listening.  She waited.  Dan cajoled.  Then he turned and laughed as I watched him run the bacon over his lips.  The whole time Baby was watching and waiting.  Dan waited.  Baby waited expectantly for her treat.  Dan waited for his kiss.  They waited.  Finally Dan gave in and gave her the treat, then she gave him a kiss.

She wouldn't settle for bacon flavored kisses, she wanted the real deal.





Update  I just read the poetry post thought I would give it a try.

Baby
Black lab
Spoiled around the edges.  
She has my husband well trained.
It was love at first sight for both of them,
Breakfast at the Hogg Wild Cafe 
Chilled bacon from the pickup

Baby waiting
On top of the crate
Dan waiting for her kiss 
Baby focused on bacon
Dan explained she could have her treat
When he got his kiss

She waited.  
Dan cajoled.  
I watched and waited
As he ran the bacon over his lips  
Baby watched
Dan waited.  
Baby waited for her treat.  
Dan waited for his kiss.  
They waited.  

Dan gave in.
Then she gave him a kiss.
They shared bacon flavored kisses.
