I woke up to ear-piercing screams of anguish emanating from one skinny little boy. The heart breaking agony was almost too much to take on the one morning that I had been promised a full night of sleep. All I wanted to do was to roll over and play dead.
Then, Alex said the one thing likely to strike fear into any dog owner’s heart, “Yoohoo, you BAAAAADDDDD dog! Mommiiieeee, Yoohoo ate my candy! He tore my golden dream! Do you know how far I had to walk, how hard I had to work to get this piece of heaven? Baaaadddd Dog!”
I would have just pulled the covers over my head for a few more minutes of the shuteye that I desperately craved, but dogs and chocolate don’t mix. With visions of dog vomit, and Dave too far away to do clean up duty, I had to drag myself out of bed to investigate.
If I wasn’t so brain-dead that early in the morning, I would’ve taken into account one young man’s propensity to exaggerate. Yes, Yoohoo took a bite out of the plastic bag, but it was just an itsy bitsy little exploratory nibble, just checking for dog treats. Snickers and Hershey Bars weren’t all that appealing, at least not today.
