Knowing...

I don't quite know what really.

Ellie knew though, just wasn't telling me, the eejit who hangs on to the lead and feeds her Bakers and sardines. She never tires of the sardines, but the dog food leaves her cold. Unless she's out for a walk and someone else has a stash of dried yuk in their pocket and she's all over them like a rash, looking all cute, head on one side, blue eyes wide, winning them over for their Winalot. Wish it were so easy for us humans...

Not to get Winalot, you understand, but the rest of it.
