This is my dog, Weiland (see pic). He is relentlessly determined to get what he wants and he is always unavailable for not getting it. He expects to get it and will not give up until he does.
Take, for instance, this morning. I put some gluten-free toast in the toaster and then set everything out to make a BLT (yes, I eat those in the morning). I hate making sandwiches when my toast is hot because it melts the mayo and I like my mayo cold. So once the toast was done, I left it in the toaster to cool down and I went into the living room to listen to a podcast episode.
Normally, Weiland follows me everywhere I go. But not this morning. This morning he wanted some of the bacon he knew was on the counter.
And he wasn’t giving up until he got it.
