Pug Love, Brooklyn, 1942
“Hey, sugar-tongue, wanna see somethin’ real neat?”
“Oh, here we go again with the ‘somethin’ neats.’ Sid, you spent all last night showin’ me somethin’ real neat, and, you know what? That raccoon toy you got was pretty neat and all, and, sure, you look real handsome when you was playin’ with it, but I spent ALL NIGHT watchin’ you play with that thing and now I want to go out DANCIN’ at the SAVOY like you PROMISED ME back when you first asked me out!”
“Aw, come on, trust me, baby. I’m gonna show you something that’s gonna make TREATS fall from the SKY – metaphorically speakin’, of course.”
“Ooooh? That does sound neat. What’s the treats gonna metamorphse into? Some dancin’ shoes?”
“Ain’t you lucky you’re nice to look at.”
“Awww, Sid, you’re the sweetest…LET’S GO DANCIN’!”
“Just- Would you just hold your horses? We’re gonna go dancin’, alright? But first you gotta see this. You’re really gonna be really impressed. Cross my heart, okay?”
“Whateva.”
“Okay, now, here’s how it works. My folks are gonna come in here, and we’re gonna sit, you know, like good pugs sit.”
“Sure.”
“Then, see, my folks are gonna do this dumb thing where they ask us the same question over and over again.”
“Sounds like a blast.”
“Would you let me finish? See, each time they ask a question, alls you gotta do is tilt your head! Left, right, left, right. They’re easily amused, you see, so they think it’s HYSTERICAL and then they give you tons of treats!”
“How long do we sit there tiltin’ our heads before we get to go out dancin’?”
“AS LONG AS IT TAKES! Shhhh! Here they come!”
“Sigh. I bet Eddie woulda taken me dancin’ at the Savoy, no problem.”
“Alright, baby, START TILTIN’!”

Oh SId – you DO have that head tilt down to AN ART!!!!! I have to say, though, you start to look a little peeved at the end. What I REALLY wanna know – did you get ANY treatage?

Hehee! I’m not sure that Timothy is as treat motivated like you and me, Sid. I really do think she would’ve rather been dancing. But NOT me, I’ll happily stand by and watch you masterfully do the head tilt in hopes of snagging some treats too! I used to rock the head tilt, but now that my hearing isn’t all that great, my moves have suffered. See, you need a girl more your age! Anyway, so like Noodles, I am curious as to what kind of food you earned with that awesome video…
Love,
