And Sparky says "BAM!"
The Spans and I have instituted a new routine most evenings where we go to Sant Ambroeus on Madison Ave to have a coffee and cookies. I was pretty worn out today and had decided to forego our evening trip and was relaxing on the couch watching a bit of TV. A little after 9pm (Sant Ambroeus closes at 10pm) Winnie and Sparky walk over (basically shoulder to shoulder no less) to see when I would be getting (my lazy self being the implication) off the couch and attending to the Spaniel Stomachs. After a moment of contemplation on their part (and inaction on my part) Win plopped herself down with a sigh of disgust and proceeded to deploy "the look" while Sparky took a flanking position and looked on expectantly.
Very few people I know can resist one of the Spans when they put "the hurt" (as my father calls it) on you, much less the pair of them. When they join forces - fogeddaboudit - just quickly conceed that you're going to do what they want and save yourself some grief.
Needless to say, off to Sant Ambroeus we go. I park out front and head in for the provisions and who do I see standing at the bar when I walk in the door? Emeril.
Yes, that Emeril.
BAM!
When I came out to the car, Sparky was sitting on the driver's seat smiling ear to ear and Win was sitting on the passenger's seat with a smug look on her face.
Just goes to show you - trust your dogs in all things.
