Please Mom, could I have some more?

This morning I surpised Mom by actually being hungry. She made my breakfast of kibble with some rice and water to make gravy. Usually I ignore my food. This morning though I walked over and had some without Mom having to do anything! Then I looked at  her to see what she would do. She looked very surprised and then came down and sat next to me. I sat there and ate my food like a good dog while she petted me. What a good dog Mom said! But after, when she got up, I grabbed her pant leg and growled. I didn't want her to leave the kitchen because it was time to play! I threw my rope toy at her feet and barked at her.
