Asa here. Not to brag, but for the third year in a row I have won our annual kibble hunt! Now for those keeping track, other than Chuck Billy, there have been accusations of unsportsdoglike behavior in the past, and an asterisk unfairly placed next to my name. In 2022 Chuck Billy claimed my friendship with Easter Bunny gave me an unfair advantage. Then in 2023 Chuck Billy accused Dad of getting distracted and not keeping accurate score. Which brings us to this year where new rules were once again enacted by my brother: 1. The kibble and treats combo needed to be approved by Chuck Billy prior to the hunt. 2. Mom would hide the kibble, not the Easter Bunny or Dad. 3. A written tally would be taken. And 4. The entire kibble hunt would be filmed, and reviewed before declaring a winner. So with those rules in play the final total of the 2024 kibble hunt is… Chuck Billy: 6 and Asa 7!
Chuck Billy: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I’m throwing down the penalty flag on this call!
Asa: Here we go again.
Chuck Billy: First of all, we only had a single camera recording the hunt. You clearly go out of view on more than one occasion. How do we know you weren’t cheating when out of frame? You even went into the kitchen to get a drink not once but twice during the kibble hunt! Very suspicious if you ask me!
Asa: I was trying to give you the advantage by leaving the room. It’s not my fault you didn’t find the last pile of kibble before me.
Chuck Billy: Well what about your Sloth friend being out on the playing field? How do I know he wasn’t giving you some unfair advantage by signaling where the treats were hidden!
Asa: He’s a Sloth! Have you not noticed how slow he moves? If he was giving me signals, he’d still be doing it now two days later!
Chuck Billy: Alright, fair point. But what about your lamb friends, who were also “spectators” for this game? I saw you find kibble between the paws of one!
Asa: If anything they were on your side! They still aren’t happy with me, after I accidentally put a hole in the nativity scene sheep at Christmas.
Chuck Billy: I don’t buy it! That’s why this year once again an asterisk will be placed next to your “winning” title. But being the good sportsdog that I am, I will graciously accept defeat with dignity.
