What's Yours Is Mine

Gilbert's interest in other people's stuff continues to grow. First it was a drinking glass. Then the remote control followed by the cell phone. Well, this morning, it became my food. He was sitting in my lap as I attempted to enjoy an apple fritter courtesy of my wife trekking out for it this morning. Don't go "Aaah, what a nice wife". Her reason for going wasn't me, but rather a cup of coffee from Starbucks. I benefitted from her benevolence!

Anyway, as I held Gil and my plate with one hand and tear off a piece of the fritter with another, his outreaching hands came closer each time to grabbing the edge of the plate. Eventually his paws latched on and the strength surprised me. The fritter almost tumbled off the plate.
