Most of his life he was 20 lbs overweight--that's saying a lot for a 40 lb breed. Early on he learned to open cupboard doors, and to leap from chair to counter top, where the really interesting cupboards were. We rarely heard or saw him do this; he became lightning fast and cunningly silent. Sebastian quickly learned that food bags crinkle, and crinkling brought humans on the run. He learned to swipe chips and cookies by the merest corners of their bags, and to quietly secret them outside where they could be devoured at leisure. After stern talking-tos, timeouts, even newspaper beatings, he'd become very, very sorry, all the while planning his next "attack." Nothing really worked. After dozens of raids to the kitchen trash we installed child-proof latches. For days he sat dejectedly outside the cupboard, whining and begging for someone to undo this injustice.</P> <CENTER> <P> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="5" CELLSPACING="4" WIDTH="700"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="61%"> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="hearthbig.jpg"><IMG SRC="hearth.jpg" WIDTH="278" HEIGHT="190" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"></A><BR clear = "left"> <FONT SIZE="2">I'm not either a jackrabbit.

Give him a bone and he'd run off happily. Ten minutes later, dirt on his nose, he'd be back, quite unaware of where his treat had gone or why it wasn't with him. 'Bastian often buried unopened "finds," it was a common thing to come home from work and search the corners of the yard for telltale dirt mounds covering whole loaves of bread, full packages of bagels--even an unopened pound of See's chocolates. The "dirt on the nose" was the give-away, and Sebastian never "twigged" to it.</P> <CENTER> <P> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="5" CELLSPACING="4" WIDTH="700"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="61%"> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="reunionbig.jpg"><IMG SRC="reunion.jpg" WIDTH="303" HEIGHT="214" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"></A><BR clear = "left"> <FONT SIZE="2">OK, who's the ONLY one paying attention to <BR> Aunt Tabi?
