Today Teddy came in through the window and tried to steal the avacado. I stopped him and picked it up, but he danced around in front of me so much, looking into my face and pleading, that I gave him a piece. Then about 20 minutes later he came back, and I offered him a shelled walnut half. He sniffed at it and looked up into my face and then tried to see around me, like "where is it?" Of course I knew what he wanted, so I gave him the rest of the avacado, which he snatched with a "thank you very much, you're not so dumb after all," and ran out the window.
