Finger Lickin' Good

I was very cranky yesterday. Daddy had to rush to his early morning meeting, and he did not have enough time to brush the dogs' fur. Mommy always finishes all the household chores by mid morning, so she can attend to me the rest of the day. She is very busy, and that extra bit was the straw that broke the camel's back.

My incessant whining and crying agitated her even more. I was crying for her to hold me but she had not finished her work. My crying spells went on and on throughout the afternoon for no apparent reason. Mommy tried all kinds of ways to calm me down; she had to multitask and eat her lunch and feed me (not fried chicken!) at the same time.

There were a few quiet moments in between, when I sat and sucked my fingers. Time to get me a pacifier?
