  > Go down
  You get off the long soft thing.
  
  This is the room where you sit a lot. Well, you sleep here sometimes too. But there is a different room that is just for sleeping, and it is to the north. There's another room to the west. It's the room with the food. That is a good room.
  
  Even though this is the sitting room you can't sit on everything. There are a lot of "no"s here, like the thing you can't scratch, and the tall thing and the four-legged thing that isn't alive but that stands still with the box of light on its back.
  
  > Continue
  Once again you chomp down to change what's inside the box. This time there are these guys poking at each other, kinda fighting and joking around and all.
  
  This is the sort of thing your pet seems to enjoy watching sometimes, people getting hit with food and slipping and falling down and stuff. Everybody is laughing and nobody ever seems to really get hurt, so you guess it's OK.
  
  > continue
  You've got the hang of this trick now for sure! One more bite on the wand brings up something new.
  
  This is more like it! Inside the box now is this lady putting together some tasty looking food! You're almost drooling just watching. This has got to make your pet think about eating!
  
  > drop the wand
  You release your hold and let the magic wand fall down.
  
  You finally hear a familiar rush of water from the little water room and, after a second, the sound of the door opening.
  
  > Wait
  You pause for a second. Your stomach growls.
  
  From the other room, you hear your pet banging around and yelling about the dino. Your pet must have almost tripped on it. He's always almost tripping on little stuff like that.
  
  Your pet walks in. He starts to sit down on the long soft thing but stops when he sees what's in the box of light. That lady cooking is doing her job! You pet stands and watches, transfixed. He must be thinking of food!
  
  > wait for a while
  You pause for a second. Your stomach growls.
  
  Your pet almost trips on the magic wand, sending it flying right at you!
  
  Your pet makes his way to the food room.
  
  Your pet starts rattling around in the food room. Yes! He must be making a snack!
  
  > go north
  Most of the time when you are in here it is dark and quiet because that is the best way to sleep and this is the room made for sleeping. There is a high bed here that is not your bed although it is where you sleep usually to keep your pet company. The sitting room is south of here and the room with the water is to the west.
  
  Your low bed is here, looking all soft and cushy.
  
  Dino is here!
  
  From the other room you can hear the happy sound of the cold box being opened.
  
  > go to the west
  Food room, glorious food room!
  
  Your bowl for food and water is here, but that's only the beginning. There's also a lot of secret places where your pet keeps food and things that go with food and things that make food better. There's a thing that gets hot and a box that stays cold, and that is your favorite because you know there is always food inside there. A cloth hangs down from the door of the cold box.
  
  Your pet is here, working on making a snack.
  
  You can also see a wet sock and a square soft thing here.
  
  Your pet looks in the cold box and stands for a moment staring at the contents. Then he starts taking out some of the sandwich fixings!
  
  > Bark
  You try a few short, sharp barks.
  
  Your pet says, "Shh, Hardy, it's OK."
  
  Now, with that magic touch, your pet starts going through the secret places, opening and closing them as he finds what he needs to make a sandwich.
  
  > Smell sandwich
  You sniff around a bit but all the smells are normal.
  
  One by one, your pet starts pulling the sandwich fixings out of the cold box and turning them into a sandwich.
  
  > examine the cold box
  The cold box hums softly. It must be happy because it has a lot of food inside it. That always makes you happy.
  
  Right now it's open and blasting you with cold air. Inside you can see various leftovers, some jars and some sandwich fixings.
  
  Your pet starts putting stuff away and soon closes the cold box. You're sure that in just a minute he will be taking the sandwich out to the sitting room to eat it.
  
  > roll over
  You roll over onto your back, kicking your feet up into the air. When it becomes apparent that no belly rubs are forthcoming, you get back up on your feet.
  
  Your pet seems to have finished cleaning up after making the snack. He turns to leave. Now is the moment of truth.
  
  > Beg
  You sit up with your paws in front of you and try to look pitiful.
  
  "OK, Hardy," says your pet, tossing you a nibble of the sandwich fixings. You gobble it up right away. Such a tease! It makes you want a sandwich even more!
  
  Sandwich in hand, your pet heads for the sitting room.
  
  You follow your pet as he makes his way to the long soft thing and starts munching away on the sandwich. In a moment, it is gone, along with your dream of the perfect snack. Looks like you'll have to wait until dinner to eat. Poor hungry puppy!
  
  > go to the west

  > take Dino
  You snatch up the dino with your mouth and hold on tight.
  
  From the other room you can hear the sound of secret places opening and closing.
  
  > Go south
  This is the room where you sit a lot. Well, you sleep here sometimes too. But there is a different room that is just for sleeping, and it is to the north. There's another room to the west. It's the room with the food. That is a good room.
  
  Even though this is the sitting room you can't sit on everything. There are a lot of "no"s here, like the thing you can't scratch, and the tall thing and the four-legged thing that isn't alive but that stands still with the box of light on its back.
  
  You can see a magic wand here.
  
  You don't hear anything from the food room. But then, making a sandwich is not a very noisy job.

  The door is open and cold air is coming out of the box.

  You can also see a wet sock and a square soft thing here.
  
  One by one, your pet starts pulling the sandwich fixings out of the cold box and turning them into a sandwich.
  
  > drop Dino
  You know, leaving the dino here puts it in just the right spot for tripping your pet when he tries to walk out with the sandwich. What a great trick!
  
  Your pet starts putting stuff away and soon closes the cold box. You're sure that in just a minute he will be taking the sandwich out to the sitting room to eat it.
  
  > Wait
  You pause for a second. Your stomach growls.
  
  Your pet seems to have finished cleaning up after making the snack. He turns to leave. Now is the moment of truth.
  
  > wait awhile
  You pause for a second. Your stomach growls.
  
  Sandwich in hand, your pet heads for the sitting room.
  
  Busy taking a bite of the sandwich, your pet doesn't see the dino underfoot, and is soon airborne. For a moment, everything seems to slow down as if time has almost stopped. You can see it all clearly: your flailing pet, the sandwich sailing out of his hand, your chance for your snack. With one giant leap, you rise to meet the snack of your dreams, snatching it out of the air and wolfing it down in one great gulp. Yum! It was an awesome sandwich!
  
  As your pet falls, he manages to land on the square soft thing. Picking himself up, he shakes his head at you. "Wow, Hardy," he laughs, "you must have wanted that sandwich bad. Guess I'll be making another one for me."
  
  You're sure glad your pet has a sense of humor. You lick your chops happily. And wonder what's for dinner...
  
  > Lick pet
  Snack Time!

  Your pet is here, all stretched out on the long soft thing and snoring.
  
  > Lick pet
  You love on your pet with some little licks.
  
  Your pet twitches a little and stirs, then is still again. It's a start at waking him up.
  
  > Keep going
  You love on your pet with some little licks.
  
  Hmm, your pet seems to have turned that into part of his dream or something, because he sure didn't move this time when you licked him.
  
  > Go west
  Food room, glorious food room!
  
  Your bowl for food and water is here, but that's only the beginning. There's also a lot of secret places where your pet keeps food and things that go with food and things that make food better. There's a thing that gets hot and a box that stays cold, and that is your favorite because you know there is always food inside there. A cloth hangs down from the door of the cold box.
  
  > pull the cloth
  This is a good trick!
  
  You pull on the cloth with your teeth and back up as the door opens. Inside you can see various leftovers, some jars, some sandwich fixings and one shiny can.
  
  > Shake can
  You shake the can for all you're worth. That should make it nice and fizzy inside.
  
  > Go east
  Before you leave the food room, you push the cold box door with your nose to close it. (It's important to conserve energy.)
  
  Your pet is here, blinking and staring, not yet fully awake.
  
  > give the can to the pet
  Your pet smiles as he reaches for the can. "Good boy, Hardy," he says, scratching you behind the ears. Your tail starts wagging; you just can't help it. (You've always been a fool for a good behind-the-ears scratch.)
  
  As your pet pops the top, the liquid starts spouting out in a big rush and getting all over your pet. He jumps up, yelling, and runs off.
  
  From the other room, you hear your pet banging around and yelling about the dino. Your pet must have almost tripped on it. He's always almost tripping on little stuff like that.
  
  After a second, you hear the water room door slam. Well, that was one way to get your pet off the long soft thing!
  
  > Y.
  <RRROWWGRROWL> Your stomach growls.
  
  You've been vegging out in front of that flickering screen for hours, your pet by your side. Now your complaining stomach sets you up on your feet, and on a mission.
  Snack Time!

  > Drink water
  (the still water)
  You lean in and take a nice, cool drink. Ahh!
  
  > enter the bigger bowl
  You can't get in there without help. And anyway, you don't like it in there much.
  
  > go south
  Your low bed is here, looking all soft and cushy.
  
  Dino is here!
  
  Your pet is here, all stretched out on the long soft thing and snoring.
  
  > bite the hand
  But that's the hand that gets you a snack!
