we go to the kitchen 
he has ONLY eaten the crunchies off the top
OTHERWISE 
he hasn't eaten anything 

I am SUPPOSED to 
pet him
encourage him
replace the crunchies 
until the bowl is more or less
EMPTY 
or until he saunters off

WELL 
I guess you ARE
HANGRY
BUT 
I will remind you 

if you were
MORE 
HUNGRY
than needing to 
CONTROL ME
you COULD have eaten 

SO
I guess we'll do all that
NOW, huh

he eats a little 

THESE CRUNCHES 
are NO LONGER CRUNCHY 
because you 
DID WRONG 
I REQUIRE 
NEW

SO
I begin the process anew
he eats SOME
& then wanders over to his heater blanket
which I turn on for him
he curls up
NAPS
while I fix myself something to eat
