Tales of a Dogsitter - The California Wiggle Butt Strikes Again



Twas the morning of Friday and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse - only one lone cocker spaniel.

The TBTB human roommate returned to his bedroom to find the door slightly ajar. Upon further investigation he noticed an empty brownie wrapper on the floor just as one California wiggle butt scurried past him with her head lowered to the ground. The missing brownie dangling from her lips and in a flash it was gone – down the gullet.

Busted! But not before seizing the opportunity to inhale her find in one breath. Annie had silently struck again, but a chocolate brownie? Good thing it was milk chocolate and not the dark stuff – that could have meant a trip to the vet. She actually missed the second brownie sitting on the table – NOT. She simply got caught at her jump-and-grab routine and was only able to snag one before running out the door.

She now sits by his door, pondering. . . waiting for the perfect opportunity to slip into the quiet bedroom for her next reward. Her memory is long and her wait is patient. The nose not only knows, it does not forget! The smirk on that cute little face says it all: “Let your guard down, and I WILL be back!”

Woof! Woof!

  1. She is a riot! All of my dogs beg politely, but not Hootie. I am certain he and Annie must have a secret Facebook account to assist one another in food stealing techniques!

  2. I will find my Pheobe in that position if she has done something and I have not found out about it yet. Depending on the rules broken depends on how loud she is fake snoring. ( never as loud as her real snore)
