About a week after Christmas, when we were packing up the tree, BallFiend asked to eat one of the candy canes that had been hung up as decoration, so I gave him one to try. He had a few tentative licks, pronounced that it was "Yuck!" and gave it back to me, then a few seconds later asked to have it again. He had a few more licks and decided that it was now "Yum!" but that he didn't want anymore. So I offered to save it for later.
The candy cane was carefully placed in a cup on the bench where it sat untouched for a few days. Then he asked to have some more. "Just a bite because we are having dinner soon." DeepSpice said. "Ummm, three licks I think." and ever since then, every few days BallFiend will ask to have 'three licks' of his candy cane.
At this rate, the damn thing is going to last till next xmas.
