Food Junky

Last summer I decided to teach 12 year old Beethoven some standard "dog tricks" such as lay down, dance like a girl, and sit. In order to get his attention and to motivate him I used shaved turkey. That was a big mistake. He learned the tricks in record time and he would impress any visitors to our home with his awesome performances. But once the teaching stopped, so did the shaved turkey. Well, Beethoven decided that he liked shaved turkey more than anything in the world and he refused to eat his regular food. He also started laying down and dancing like a girl in front of the refrigerator without any command from me. At first we thought this was funny. But soon the shaved turkey became an obsession with Beethoven. Now, he has started a really annoying new habit of sneezing repeatedly in order to get food(we got rid of the shaved turkey). He will sneeze no less than 20 or 30 times just to get a tiny little bite of people- food.
Now that he must go on diet, I can't imagine what will happen next. It won't be pleasant.
