Dog guilt

After getting home from work last night, I dropped a couple bags of groceries on the kitchen floor and then went to grab the mail and take care of a few other quick things.


When I returned to the kitchen to put the food away, I heard a huge commotion on the other side

 of the cabinets and stove where I had left the bags of food. 






















Up pops Cowboy, throwing me a look that I could only identify as pure doggie guilt. 

I quickly figured out why.

A 1-pound package of ground beef had been dragged from one of the bags and completely devoured.

And I do mean completely -- he left not a scrap behind, the ripped-open package was totally cleaned out in what was likely one massive, guilty gulp. 

So far, no ill effects apparent from his raw red meat binge.

Note to myself: Do NOT -- even for a moment -- leave grocery bags on the kitchen floor in the future.

Oh gosh! Such trouble makers you have!!!
Cowboy probably enjoyed his steak tartar plenty!! I would hate to be the one picking up the poop after such feast though!
PS. He looks so handsome in the picture!

"Little Sister" is doing OK, hopping some which is good -- the less weight she puts on that toe the better. She's definitely much happier without the splint & cone. We go back next Monday to see how it's coming along.

I think Cowboy naturally has only 2 "looks" -- (1) I've just been whipped and horribly mistreated; and (2) OK, I'm guilty, so I know I'm about to be whipped and horribly mistreated..

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
