Finished Before It Started

Grendel almost had his big break today. The little fugger was going to appear with PJ in a segment for "Ancestors in the Attic", a pending History Television Canada show about Genealogy. Grendel likes to park on PJ's desk in his little doggie bed while PJ works his magic and unravels the current mystery. The cameras were primed and ready, and the lights were set.

And then, Grendel blew his chance. It seems that his baser instincts got the better of him, and he left the confines of his little bed and guzzled PJ's muffin. As the muffins were an integral part of the story, it didn't work very well for one of the extras to leave his mark and eat the prop. Everyone had a good laugh. Grendel finished the muffin, and his TV career was finished before it even started.

He could have been a star. Instead he got to go for a walk with me while the crew and PJ finished the shot without him. I guess the simpler life will have to suffice for the wee canine. He just couldn't hack it on the set.
