The other day Maggie had two friends, Lizzy and Lexi, over to play. While they were here Maggie got a doggie treat out to give to Lady. These doggie treats are the ones that look and smell like bacon. Rob walked in and saw the girls with the doggie treats and started telling them that the treats not only looked and smelled like bacon, but they tasted like bacon too! He went on and on about he eats them all the time and how good they are and that they should try one too. He finally talked Lexi into trying some. She took a tiny little bite and we were both shocked when she didn't spit it out but kept eating more! Then in an effort to get Lizzy and Maggie to try some he made a deal with them. He gave them each a little piece of doggie treat and told them they each had to eat their piece and then he would eat a whole treat. Lexi ate ALL of hers (oh my heck), Lizzy and Maggie took a bite of theirs and spit it out, and so it was Rob's turn. Just as he was about to take a bite he said, "I'm not eating that . . . it's dog food!" Cheater.
Rob then told them that because they ate dog food in a few days they were each going to grow a little tail. Maggie and Lizzy were laughing and thinking it was pretty funny. Lexi was laughing too but only because the other two were laughing. I think if they hadn't been laughing she would've been bawling. She kept walking back and forth between Rob and I saying, "Is that true?" "Is that really going to happen?" Poor thing.
After a while they went upstairs to play and then about 5 minutes later they all came down looking like this
Don't you love the bandanna/belt tails?!? I told them they had better go show their mom (Nikki). Rob called Nikki earlier to let her in on our little joke (we're so glad she has a good sense of humor) and she said she'd play along. When the girls got there she gave them a "magic berry" that would make their tails fall off. So funny!
