Guilt

A well-trained dog will make no attempt to share your lunch. He will just make you feel so guilty that you cannot enjoy it.

—Helen Thomson

Duff here. I have This Maneuver down to a science. Mom and I have lunch together every Day. Well, unless She goes out on the town with Friends. Then it’s delight when She comes through the Door with the Little White Box. She tells the food place (aka Restaurant) it’s a Doggy Bag. And She’s right. You should see the celebration! It’s like Christmas! Living unstuck.

But when We’re at work, it’s a short and quick Affair. Mom brown bag’s It, so It’s slim pickings for Me. When training started, I would pitifully stare at Her, willing Her to share Her goodies. No luck at first. But Very soon? No fun to eat in front of Me. She felt so guilty. Now? She packs My Lunch too. (Just a snack, so I can keep My Slim, svelte Figure.) Yup, I’m persistent. And She’s still in training. Living unstuck.

How about You? Do You munch in front of Your Pooch? Or do You Share? I say: Share a tidbit or Two. It will lighten the Atmosphere. And take it from Me, Life will be good for both of You. Live unstuck. #unstuck-living#guilt
