Thanks to my little sister—who is a master at manipulating… well, everyone—I have a new sneaky trick up my sleeve. Oh yeah. There was no other way of course. He left us with no other alternatives. Did I tell you he can eat glass? Yeah, three adults at the same time
ganging up on a little ole 40 pounder seems an unfair advantage, but he’s a stout little guy.
In my left hand, I held a folding metal chair and in my right hand, I held the medicine in a syringe (minus the needle, of course). With a white-knuckle grip, my husband held the baseball bat in both hands. He was on my left side, and on my right, was his brother-in-law, who was holding a lamp. We were gonna give him the smack down and force the medicine down his gullet.
We were the wrestling stars of WWE… I was Cherry and the other two were Edge and Montel Vontavious Porter. We began our twisted version of a tag team match… the three of us, all at once, against him.
Hours into our brawl, a twisted folding metal chair in my hand, a splintered baseball bat hanging limply in my husband’s hand, a smashed up lamp, and a broken coffee table later, I came up with a brilliant idea that was certain to give us an edge. The three of us opened a can of spinach apiece and gulped it down like Popeye. Wiping the sweat from our brows, we went in again.
In the end, after much squealing, panting, broken wind, black eyes, and split lips, he turned the tables on us and beat all three of us up... we barely knew what hit us.
Breathless, I crawled into my bedroom, barred the door in case he decided to come after me, called my sister—the princess of evil... the sneakiest person I've ever known—and asked her for advice. Surely she’ll know a way to outsmart him…
“Just put his medicine into some peanut butter. Make sure you mix it up good so he can’t taste it,” she tells me offhandedly.
She’s good, I thought. Frankly, I was awed.
My little sister is so shrewd. After watching me get into trouble all my life with our parents because I was honest, she learned early on how to deal with people underhandedly from the outset.
Cautiously, he approached the dish, took a whiff, and backed up. As if it would smell, or perhaps taste, different from another angle, he went around the dish and warily approached it, sniffed it and backed off again.
At long last, after he repeated the process dozens of times, perhaps hundreds… (I lost count before long) he found a position at which the peanut butter smelled appetizing and dug in.
Success!
Triumphantly, I strutted around like I was queen for the day and made everyone give me a high-five.
Now that it’s over with, Petie comes up to me and sits on my lap. Buggy eyes, wrinkly face, and jet-black mask, he's a chunky version of a Pug—or rather, a pot-bellied pig, as some of my friends refer to him as. He sure likes to eat.
Thanks to my little sister, I have a new trick that makes me feel like I’m smarter than a dog for a while.

A very good series. As I read this book, I had a hard time putting it down. The Bossy Church Lady.
It is early afternoon on
May 14, 1948, in the world's most sacred city. Tension is high, as this is the day when the British troops will hand over the key to
Zion Gate and depart. They will leave Jewish and Muslim forces that have been fighting over control of a holy city they are all
willing to die for. Caught up in this historic moment are a striking cast of characters whose stories make Jerusalem Vigil an
unforgettable novel that is impossible to put down.

Most sales people spend all day dialing for dollars,
chasing prospects who are mentally if not physically
backing away from them, and they waste most of
their time chasing deals instead of closing them.
At the same time, most companies spend all kinds
of money on advertising and don't get nearly enough
bang for their buck.
Perry Marshall's "Guerilla Marketing for Hi-Tech
Sales People" is an information-packed audio CD that
discusses 21 principles that you can use to eliminate
cold prospecting and wasted advertising dollars in today's
fiercely competitive B2B marketplace. You can get your
