Good morning Brett, did my menacing stare finally pierce your sub-conscious slumber? You seem frightened by my extended paw with its guillotine claws being so close to your face. I know it is a bit uncivilized, but I find the threat of violence can be very persuasive. It's nearly 10:00 A.M. and the breakfast hour is well on its way, yet my food dish remains empty. I suggest you get up. I'm starting to lose my patience.
