that is a polite way of saying our dog had a problem last night. It is always important to make sure things are not where Emma can get into them while we are out of the house. She loves butter wrappers and will dig through the trash to find them. She has also been known to eat a stick of butter if it is within reach on the counter top. One time we realized that she had helped herself to the last of the monkey bread after breakfast.
So yesterday morning in the midst of coping with the time change(Don't get me started on that!!!!)one of the kids realized at about 9:30 that we were the greeters at church, which starts at 10am. That put the hustle on the family, but we did manage to put the almost full bag of trash in the garage on our way out the door.
When we got home, Emma didn't come to greet us. That is a sure sign she was guilty of something. Soon we discovered that she had helped herself half a chocolate chip cake. She didn't seem any worse for the wear, considering what they say about dogs and chocolate. It wasn't solid chocolate, so that may have kept her out of trouble that way.....but it gave her gas and she couldn't even stand to be in the same room with herself. Every time she let off a stink bomb, she left the room and the rest of us suffered the consequences. She wasn't allowed to sleep on our bed last night, that was real punishment in her book.
She seems better this morning and therefore got to ride with me to take the kids to school. Lesson learned....nothing on the counter tops is safe with Emma around.
