Make a Ripple - Make a Difference

Greetings, Ripplemakers

Ding-a-Ling
by
Loren Moore

I was in my office typing a story when, ???ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling.??? ? I heard this little brass bell Johnnie keeps in the kitchen.?  When she has supper ready, instead of coming to the office to tell me supper is ready or hollering at me she rings this little bell.

If I happen to be playing music on my computer and don??™t hear it, she will ring it until I come to the table.?  When that happens little fox will run to the office and bark at me, then run back to the kitchen.

If I still don??™t come to the table, she runs back and barks at me again.?  This time she stands in the office door barking until I get up from my computer and follow her to the kitchen.

Johnnie is still standing there ding-a-linging away.? 

???Ok, ok you can stop that noise now, here I am.???

???Well it??™s about time.?  Your food is probably cold by now.?  If you want it warmed up, you can do it yourself.???

Some times I put my plate in the micro wave and warm up the food.?  Other times I just eat it cold.

When I sit down at the table I look over and see little fox sitting on the floor next to the table with a smug look on her face.?  She knows she has helped get me to the table and she expects a reward for it.?  There are usually a few bites of food left on my plate when I??™m through eating and I put the plate on the floor next to her water bowl so she can finish eating what ever is left on my plate.

Johnnie says that I spoil her, but I??™m not the one that lets her sleep in bed with me.

???Ok, so maybe both of us spoil little fox.?  What??™s wrong with that????

???I??™ll bet you spoil your dog or cat also.???
