After dinner tonight I asked Dear Hubby, “Do you want some I  c  e   c  r  e  a  m?”

     “Ice cream?”  Gavin ran to sit in front of the counter.  “Hey sis, she said ice cream!”

     “For real?”  Patty woke up from her nap on the couch and joined him at my feet.  “Oh, boy!”

     “No one’s getting anything if you two don’t move and let me dish it up.”  I pushed the two sixty pound door stops out of my way.  They started to boogie and bark.

     I dished up our ice cream and put a small scoop in each of the dog’s dishes.  Then I waded through what seemed like a dozen dogs.  Two excited Bull Terriers can magically multiply their number.

     Gavin and Patty danced around the kitchen.  “We’re getting ice cream, we’re getting ice cream!”

     I took DH his bowl dodging the two fur balls of energy on my way.

     “Us!  Us!  Give it to us!”

     “Wait your turn.”

     Two noses poked DH’s bare legs.

     “Yow!  Give them theirs so they get these cold noses away from my legs.”

     I went back to the kitchen and rattled their dishes.  Two rockets hit warp speed.  Patty sat in front of her dish holder her tail wagged furiously. 

     Gavin stood in front of his, looked at me, and barked.  “Now?”

     I gave them their treats, picked up my bowl, and went to sit in my chair.  I hadn’t taken two bites when one cold nose hit my elbow and another one nudged my foot. 

     “You had yours.  This is MINE.”
