Let’s ponder OldDogBlogs “Practically perfect” from March 13, 2024 and “Brazen” from December 8, 2023. Essentially, let’s just add them together and see what comes out....
Hallowe’en is a Fall favourite at my house - spooky decorations, multiple costumes for each different gathering that day, and mini chocolate bars to hand out to trick-or-treaters. Whether young human or old canine, everyone in my family loves Hallowe’en and candy treats. Charly’s patience for human error expands that day. Simultaneously, her brazen behaviour is enhanced. She’s ready…to steal, search out, or snatch any item with chocolate content.
A few years ago, this stealth paid off when my daughter’s chubby clumsy child hands held too many mini chocolate bars. They all spilled to the floor, and Charly – ever vigilant – seized the moment. She gobbled down one KitKat bar, and had a second in her mouth by the time I could respond. I pried the wrapper and some wafer hanging around her clenched teeth, but part of the second one went down the hatch too. We were experienced by that point in knowing how much chocolate was too much for our stout dog, and did not concern ourselves! It then became a science lesson for my little Grade Oner: what’s our hypothesis about plastic wrap and dog stomach acid? We made observations. In about a day and a half, the experiment ended. Contrary to predictions, the poo was practically perfect…and so was the wrapper!
Happy summer, readers! Rejoin OldDogBlog in Fall 2024.
