A Recap Of Our Afternoon… With PICS!

At the supermarket we stopped to get his microwave popcorn…I had a hunch that if I got him to eat a bag of the really awful, extra buttery kind

 it would reset his love for popcorn which has been waning lately…and maybe would reset his mood / behavior some… I know, crazy right?

While in the supermarket he started getting very spitty and very handsy…  So i had to walk him around the store with his hands on the cart and my hands over his hands so he woulnd’t reach out and tap some bald dude on the head…

He saw a bag of green grapes and indicated that he wanted them.  Grapes are bad for dogs so we phased them out when we first got Paula but he’s had them at a few summer occasions when Paula wasn’t present and reestablished his taste for them.  So I put the bag of grapes in the cart and he wants to dive in…

However, wifey’s got me trained, all fruit must be washed first, especially non-organic fruit, and preferably washed with a “fruit wash” not just with water.

I was being a cheapskate since wifey wasn’t with us 😉 so these were non organic grapes…

 It wasn’t easy, but I keep him off of the grapes until we reach the car… 

Once in the car I look around, no fruit wash, or course, but not even a bottle of water… but look wifey left an unopened can of seltzer in the car…

So there I am putting grapes in a bowl (of course we had a bowl in the backseat) and washing them with seltzer and then dumping the seltzer out the window…

I must’ve refilled the bowl, and done the selzter cleaning bit 4 times on the way home… I almost pulled over on the highway to do it cuz when you find something that the king wants you ride that hot hand til it’s done…

So he eats the ENTIRE BAG OF GRAPES by the time we got home… 

although, again, I was driving…very…slowly… to kill time…

When we get home wifey is out (smart lady) and I immediately cut up a banana and put a dollop of peanut bitter on each piece, but his majesty isn’t interested.

Instead he wants to take his pants off, take the pictures off the wall, pull on the light fixture in the dining room, butt his head against the TV, etc, etc… just general jerkiness…

This is the kinds of jerkiness we’ve been dealing with this past week along with increased aggression towards us and others…

So I then make the extra buterry extra bad for you microwave popcorn…

He shows no interest.  But then I literally quickly shove a piece in his mouth…

And as I expected… “YUM… YUM…YUM…  He eats half the bag and then starts alternating beyween  a handful of popcorn and a piece of banana w/ PB…

After an entire bag and a banana and a half w/ PJ he crashed…

And now he’s taking a nap

We will see if I was right… Maybe the popcorn will reset his mood and the jerky king will be gone?
