Stolen Eggs Taste Best

Murphy is on a special diet and eats, almost exclusively, meat, eggs and cheese. Murph likes hard-boiled eggs and they are easy to fix, so I toss a few in his bowl with every meal. After one meal, an egg was left behind.

Later, I saw Tommy sitting on the carpet, taking tiny bites from it looking like a squirrel with the egg between his paws. He watched me nervously, wondering if I was going to take it away. I just looked the other way.

I felt a little guilty because I didn't know that Tommy liked hard-boiled eggs. It's not right that he has been watching Murph eat special egg treats and he never got any.

With the next meal, Tommy got his own egg. He ignored it and walked away. Murphy ended up eating the egg.

Things evened out in the end, but still, what was that all about? Do eggs only taste good if they're stolen?
