As Told By Mason (Dining Hall Troubles)

Tonight, Sam and I went to my favorite place on campus, the dining hall. We used to go there a lot, but now that we have an apartment, Sam does a lot more cooking at home. So, going to the dining hall has turned in to a real treat for me. However, that also means that I have a little trouble behaving myself. When we got there, I patroled the floor for any forgotten food. I dstill don't know why I got a corection for it. I was just trying to keep perfectly good food from going to waste. That's the problem with humans. They're too wasteful. Anyway, once we got to our table, I did pretty good. However, I wasn't exactly thrilled about staying in a down position next to Sam's chair. You see, our friend, Renee, was there and we absolutely love each other. So, I had to make sure she knew I was there so she could give me all her undivided attention. (This usually works because she's not that great about respecting the rules of the harness.) But other than that, and an incident involving me trying to eat some food off a plate that was sitting on the table next to ours, I was a verry good golden. However, I still don't know why I got in trouble for trying to eat that food. There weren't any humans around it, and us dogs like to have a good meal too. So, because of that, and because Sam hadn't fed me my dinner yet, I was entitled to it. Anyway, Sam says it would be good for us to start going back there more often. I would be excited, but I have a feeling it's only because he wants me to work on my mmanners. Oh well, what do you expect from ignorant humans. I guess I'll just have to improve, (and maybe sneaque a couple bites of food when he's not paying attention. Don't tell.) Untill next time, Mason
