Last night, I grilled a steak for dinner, and some of the edge pieces were too crispy for my taste, so before I sat down to eat I sliced off the offending parts and left them on the counter.
When I went to do the dishes, I looked at the meat (which I HATE putting in the trash because then it smells) and thought, "Hmm. Three little pieces of meat, three big dogs. I'll be their favorite human ever!" (Nevermind that I'm the only human they're interacting with over the next four days...). So I sit them all down on the deck, and starting with the oldest and moving to the "slowest," I dispense the treats.
Rosey takes it gently from my hands, and starts chewing oh-so-slowly, enjoying the taste and savoring the moment.
Finlay jumps up and takes it, chews three times or so, and then sits down and looks all expectant like, "May I have anotha???"
And then there's Charlie. Charlie lapped the piece out of my hand with his tongue and swallowed it without even chewing ONCE. He sits down and looks at the other two dogs as if to say," What's the big deal? Why are we freaking out? I didn't taste anything."
I'm pretty sure Rosey gave him a disgusted look, and then eyeballed me with, "What a waste." And I don't think she was talkin' about the food.


Oh, poor Charlie . . . in his heart, I know he tasted it!
