A New Way!

Faithful readers of this blog know it's been a while since I really had dad on the run, but today I am happy to report that there is a new way and to paraphrase the song, I won't be fooled again!

You all know about me and Misses Hiney being locked out of the bedroom in the mornings before it is time to be fed. We get hungry at 3:30 or 4:00 but dad won't feed us until 5:00. That is when I start my reign of terror. This results in dad getting out of bed, acting like he is going to feed us. Then when me and Hiney head for the kitchen he locks us out of the bedroom. I know I'm a dope for falling for it every day, but that shit is over!

Today I got going about 4:00 and mom told dad to lock me out. When he got up Misses Hiney did her usual move to the kitchen, but not ol' Roo. No sir! I went under the bed and dad locked the door. But as he went back to bed I jingled my collar just a little so he would know I was still in there. He was pissed! So he got back up and went to the kitchen and rattled the food canister. I came running. I didn't get fed, but I made him work harder just for a lockout.

The bottom line is that I can outlast him in a battle of wills and soon I will be fed when I want, not when it is convenient for him. I got you good on this one dad! I told you I'd win this war and now it looks like the end is near!
