Impulse Buy

While stocking up on dried, pelletized, intestines and artificial mean powder (otherwise known as IAMs doog food) for the World's Naughtiest Dog (WND), I walked past a display showing the following items.

I couldn't resist. I bought a John Kerry squeak toy so that the WND can actually help me release tension rather that just adding to it.

On that note, I'll update everyone on the WNDs latest heist.

I had a hankering for grilled chicken pizza. Budget being what it is, we made it at home from scratch. The wife grilled up the chicken and grated the cheese while waiting for the dough to rise.

She placed the bowl of cheese and the bowl of chicken on the kitchen cutting board. She decided it was time to toss the kitchen towels in the wash, so she gathered them, walked to the bathroom to also gather the hand towels, dropped them into the hamper and returned to the kitchen. This took literally 15 seconds.

"WND(dog's real name omitted)! NO! GET OUT!! OUT!!!! BAD DOG!"

Both bowls were entirely cleaned of food.

What interests me about this is that she KNOWS it is wrong. That's why she waited until she was alone. I guess she can't think ahead enough to know that she will get caught or that we will know she did it.

But she is alone in the room with food often and rarely takes the opportunity for a forbidden snack. She knows that the spanking power of MASTER is absolute in these cases.

What made her do it this time? I guess she was just tired of waiting for us to reward her flatulance, incessant manic behavior, constant licking, jumping, barking, digging, and garbage eating obsession.

But she's good at keeping the Jehova's Witnesses away.
