I created a monster

Some of you have had the privilege of meeting my puppy aka my pride and joy - Maverick and for those of you who haven't well this is Maverick. He was born in Germany but he got to Texas as soon as he could and has lived here for the past five years. While he is actually really big, he thinks he is a lap puppy and he is scared of his own tail - actually really funny to watch. The first summer we had Maverick I was eating Blue Bell Ice Cream (for all you none Texas people, Blue Bell is a Texas Ice Cream that is amazing - if you ever come to Texas you have to try it) and he was just being his typical nosey self, so I decided to let him lick the bowl and have a little taste of ice cream. It was love at first taste for him, needless to say he was hooked. He soon learned that if he waited patiently he could have a little taste of Blue Bell. Once we realized he loved it so much we started giving it to him on his birthday and for Christmas - basically we put a little extra in our bowls and allowed him to eat it out of the bowl. Well, somewhere along the way he became a smart puppy and learned that any time a certain type of bowl came out of the cabinet that it meant someone was going to be having Blue Bell, so he would sit around, watch and wait for his turn because he knew no one would refuse him. So I have to admit I created a monster with one little simple taste of Blue Bell. However, I must admit he has even gotten worse. My dad bought the first thing of Blue Bell for the summer over Memorial Day weekend and Maverick was laying in the other room and heard the tub of Blue Bell come out of the freezer and came running from clear across the house - he immediately sat right beside the counter and just stared wondering if this would be the time that some might actually give him his own entire bowl.....I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Needless to say I have a Blue Bell Monster on my hands.
