So we have been fighting for over a year with our neighbor, over our dogs. You have to understand that this man hates dogs, with a passion. He shot the neighbors in cold blood. Once their dog was gone, check, he moved onto ours.
It started with a barking dog nuisance, that has snowballed into 6 misdemeanor charges for disturbing the peace, thousands of dollars in fines, informal probation for Don. The purpose of this blog is not the details of all of that....see past blogs for those.
Today I went to the store...bought some groceries. Some dinner items, some special treats, gourmet cookies, chocolate, going to have a pleasant night. You know how it is. Crazy days, wanted to treat the family.
So had to leave for twenty minutes to pick up Macy from the bus, left the dogs inside, locked out of my bedroom where a brand new mattress and comforter set do not need dog juice and hair. I had not even unpacked any of the groceries yet, left them on the counter.
Now a year a go, I would have quickly put the dogs into the Taj-mahal Kennel that inhabits my backyard. But due to before mentioned neighbor, $2000.00 just sits in my back yard growing weeds.
So I leave, and come back to find that Gunner and Zip, 2 of our 4 dogs, had devoured all my food. ALL OF IT. Now for those of you who don't know Zip and Gunner are our senior dogs. Gunner will be 9, and Zip is 7. Trustworthy right, apparently not.
They ate:
1 dozen gourmet peanut butter cookies
1 dozen hamburger buns, plus half the package.
1 large bag of chocolate candy, including half the package and every single individual wrapper, but one...I must of come in the door just then for them to have left it.
1lb raw hamburger
I had no words, I didn't even beat them. They will get theirs, sometime tonight around midnight their tummies will rumble and up it will come. I simply took them to the garage, the were excited thought they were going for a ride. Shoved them both into a crate that fits only one. Closed the door, the partners in crime can be partners in diarrhea tonight.

Hey, I was on the phone with you when you made the discovery. YOU HAD WORDS. I'm still washing my ears out with Clorox.
I know you want to beat me because I'm laughing so hard. (The plus side of being 3500 miles away). I'm laughing with you,honestly because I been there and done that. Oh yeah,it was your dog that ate my food that time too.
Apparently,my Steve Jobs 'tweet' upset,confused, or did some other thing to your brain. Consider it this way. It's a journey we are all gonna take. It is truly just the next adventure. If you embrace life, death is nothing to fear. My philosophy, anyway. See,I know there is more. It's all about sequels.
