Counter surfing gone bad

[Spyglass Sally]

Buddy has put his front paws up on the counter when I'm there, looking at what I'm doing. And although I've told him to get down, it's always been with a chuckle like "isn't he cute?"

So yesterday I hear him playing, throwing something around and I'm thinking it's that Everlasting Treat toy he's so fond of. And I'm thinking "isn't he cute?" again.

Next think I know, he comes up to me and with a totally defiant, unrepentant look, drops a sweet potato at my feet - one of 3 that had been up on the counter. I did *not* think, "isn't he cute?"



"What???"

awwwww, but to us, he will always be cute, LOL while you are thinking

Oh dear, sounds like and looks like Buddy had fun with it though and at least he had the manners to give it back to you.......

His face does look rather unrepentant..............

'Here Mom, I'm done with it now...'

At first I threw it in the garbage. About 20 minutes later I thought, "hey, that's still good food!" So I cooked it up with the untouched two and served him "his."

I said to Mike I hope he's not so smart to remember that's the one he chewed on. Sort of a mixed message otherwise and he might think "I got yelled at a bit, but it worked out okay - I got sweet potatoes for supper!"

I had to really work hard to keep my "game face" on as I scolded him. He really was looking unrepentant and like "What's your problem? There were three up there and I left two for you guys!"
