White Dog sniffed and walked a way. Quinn wouldn't even come over. Puff moved next to Steve and Nuka politely took a sample and immediately dropped it on the floor. Only YoYoMa came and sat close, wagging his tail in interest and devouring every floret of broccoli that I held out to him. The others looked at him in shock...amazement ...disappointment as he mowed through my veggies until I begged for a bite; then he happily nibbled on bits of tomato from my sandwich.

He was oblivious to the rest of the WDA's disdain and pushed his way into position alongside of them when it came time to share bits of grilled turkey burger. He even ignored White Dog's sarcastic comment, "You probably would prefer a TOFU patty, you VEG-skie!"

When he actually performed a down-stay for a chunk of cantaloupe, the others huddled to consider an intervention. He earned a few more pieces then strolled past his disapproving siblings. As YoYoMa passed them and settled for a post dinner nap, he looked in their direction and pointedly let out a burp before closing his eyes.
