My dog is infinitely optimistic that TODAY will be the day that I just inexplicably hand over my entire hamburger.
@Chrishallbeck "To live without Hope is to Cease to live."
- Fyodor Dostoevsky (and your dog, probably)
@Chrishallbeck Even just a part of it, although not as good as the entire one, would surely be appreciated.
@Chrishallbeck
Maybe your dog is a time traveller and remembers that time in the future where you did!
But because dogs only live in the moment, every day could be that day.
Just wait till they one day when he isn't, and just put it in front of him.
And take photos!
@Chrishallbeck no not today. That would be silly. But tomorrow right?
@Chrishallbeck my cat does the exact thing everytime i make dinner
@lexex @Chrishallbeck My cat looks that way at bread and baked goods.
@Chrishallbeck Your dog has clearly been watching too many political ads.
@Chrishallbeck
You miss all of the burgers you don't beg for
@briankrebs
For my dog Bobbie's 14th birthday we got him a whole pizza and put it on the floor. He was too suspicious to just dive in. We had to eat slices partially and then hand them over. He lived to about 16.
Here he is in southern California at about age 12.
Irrational exuberance.
@Chrishallbeck one must always be ready for the miracle.
@Chrishallbeck pining after the entire hamburger, just outside reach, in an oubliette
@Chrishallbeck i’m going to make an educated guess that that is not gonna happen
Be the change your dog wants to see in the world.
That's because, although today may not have been the day, the day will come when you do it. Why not today? If not today, why not tomorrow? We can see that you are tempted. Give in. You won't regret it. Much. :)
@Chrishallbeck you never know when it might be the day you inexplicably DROP your entire hamburger though
How could I live with myself if a whole hamburger fell on the floor and I wasn't right there to eat it
@Chrishallbeck over a full year in and the kittens still definitely think every meal I have is for them
@Chrishallbeck I admire the persistence of faith they have!
