Balou wants

I had to be at work at 9am this morning. Given my inherently lazy nature, this is damn early. Especially considering that it takes, at best, an hour to drive to work at that horrible traffic filled time of day.

Since we didn't get home any earlier than usual Balou and Trillian had a long and lonely day. Fortunately, despite being home alone for well over eleven hours the dogs didn't destroy anything. Well they did open a package of fire logs, but the fire logs are now burning merrily, so no harm done.

Anyway I have sat down to eat my dinner and Balou is happily lying at my feet. All Balou wants is to lie at my feet while I eat my dinner. He's perfectly content to just lie here.

Well, he wouldn't mind some pets.

All Balou wants is to lie here at my feet and get some pets. He's perfectly content to lie here and get some pets.

Well, he also wouldn't mind if I gave him some of my dinner.

All Balou wants it so lie here at my feet and get some pets and have my dinner. He would be perfectly content if I would pet him while he lies at my feet and feed him some of my dinner. Perfectly content if only I'd keep petting him and stop eating my own dinner...
