Shep was especially good while I ran some errands, so I gave him a sucker. This was no ordinary sucker; it was the most delicious, carmel apple sucker. He was unusually quiet in the backseat of the car because he was in sucker heaven. Then I heard a little whimper. Shep faced his first big dilema. Somehow the sucker had landed on the top of his head! He had to make the choice to pull his hair out and have his sucker. Or endure the heartache of having a sucker so close to his lips without the possiblity of eating it. He was torn. He would start to pull the sucker out, and then stop because the pain was too great. That's when he'd whimper. I think this story changes the phrase "You can't have cake and eat it, too" to "You can't have a sucker, and lick it, too!"
