A Moment in the Life of Wonder Dog

O-I is very good at not over feeding Uzef and making sure he gets lots of exercise. As a result Wonder Dog is in very good shape for a dog of his years. Many of us (including his master) have observed that the question of who is master to whom is a bit muddled in the case of the O-I/Wonder Dog relation.
Normally O-I gives Wonder Dog all kinds of little treats in lieu of over feeding him. This could be a small piece of his bacon at breakfast or a tidbit from lunch out, etc. However, Wonder Dog had been having gastro-intestinal distress which means he’s on a very bland diet. As a result O-I has cut out all the extraneous food and Wonder Dog is far from happy about it.
When we were at Casa Mia, we were served by a waiter who knows O-I well and who likes Wonder Dog. He is accustomed to Wonder Dog being served tidbits. During the meal, Wonder Dog is being told by O-I that he is ill and he can’t have anything. Wonder Dog is not buying this and is moping (for Wonder Dog this consists of his crocodile imitation –lying with his head totally flat on the ground with his eyes looking up as if he were submerged looking for prey).

  • Waiter to Wonder Dog – “How are you doing? Are you having a good meal”
  • Wonder Dog gives waiter an appreciative look.
  • Wonder Dog turns head 90 degrees toward O-I
  • Wonder Dog glares (and I mean glares!)
One can only be glad that Wonder Dog’s thought bubbles weren’t working.
