So it was one of those nights last night--the one where you're too tired for words yet wide awake. I lay in bed for a while, reading a book, and then suddenly I was struck with a craving for something sweet.
Now I'm usually not one for having sweets in the house, but as it happened, I'd been grocery shopping earlier in the day and had decided to treat myself to a package of creme-filled scones. I'd had one when I got home, and another with dinner, and I knew that there were two left in the box. And at 3AM, suddenly the idea of one of those scones seemed like the solution to all the world's problems.
Quietly I got up, trying to avoid waking Murphy, because if he knew I was eating something, he'd want some too and I didn't feel like sharing or dealing with the begging. So I crept down the hall and into my office, where I'd left the box of scones on the table next to my computer, only to find that the scones weren't there! Instead, I found the remains of the empty scone box on the floor. When? How? WHY?! DAMN THAT DOG!!!
As I returned to bed and my book, sconeless, I looked down at him sleeping on his dog bed and I could swear that I heard him snicker.
Yep. I hate him.
Oh THAT truly sucks!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteGo Murphy!
ReplyDeleteThat does suck!
ReplyDeleteLOL Sucks, yeah...know how you feel! Beagles aren't really built to get up on counters/desks...but they can be quite inventive in ways of getting stuff off of them!
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling, my dog does the "countersurfing" thing and it is most annoying when I find the residue either in the living room or the kitchen floor.
ReplyDeleteBasic room-mate goodies rule applies: "If it's there, it's fair!"
ReplyDeleteA wise owner of a young dog makes sure it isn't there!
:)
ReplyDeleteMan, do I ever feel ya ML. Angus has become an inveterate counter surfer, constantly sharking around for easy prey. I think it's kinda like egg sucking. Once they get a taste for that sweet, sweet forbidden fruit it's all over but the trip to the Stop & Rob for another fix.
ReplyDeleteYou know Murphy's nature by now. Perhaps you subconsciously left the scones within his reach so that you would not be able to eat them as a midnight snack.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he would also like some cucumber sandwiches?
