Ninja Thief

For all who do not know, this is Koda. Do NOT be fooled by his dapper good looks and sad eyes. He is the furry four-legged nuisance that lives in my house. I wish he didn't live IN my house, but rather outside of it. Maybe in the garage or across the street at someone elses house. I do love him, but he is a very naughty dog so my "like" for him is just not there anymore. He steals food like a stealth ninja, not only from the hands of little people, but out of the garbage, off of the counter, from pans on the stove, and right off of your plate. He has opened tupperware and eaten the contents without so much as leaving a toothmark in the container or lid. He can eat an entire loaf of bread, every last crumb, without tearing the bag. He has skillz unmatched by any dog, ever.

He even outdid himself last night.

Hanging on a chair in the kitchen was a plastic Wal-Mart bag. Inside, a box of Disney Princess Valentine's day cards and Sweethearts candies waiting to be distributed to Avery's 4K class. That is until a furry predator snuck into the kitchen and ripped open the bottom of the bag. The princess cards were saved but the candies were sacrificed. The hunter then took his kill back to his kill carpet located in his den by the back door. There he proceeded to tear open the box and individually torture every last bag, all 20 of them, until all the sweet little hearts were all devoured.  The carnage was too much for the women folk of the house to handle, so the Man handled the cleanup and disposal. Not long after the first crime scene was discovered, a second was found. I guess Sweethearts are not the traditional food of labrador retrievers because a pile of, well, you-know-what was laying on the rug. The manfolk proceeded to take care of that business as well.

I am now placing a "Free Dog to ANYONE. Current owner will even supply future dog food needs" ad.

Avery's not upset about the loss. She just said, "Well, the next time we go to Wal-Mart, we will pick out more and I think we should get pink Valentine's marshmallows for my class, too. They would like that." I guess a little premeditated retail therapy was all she needed!

This before 7:00 in the moring...what in the world is going to happen the rest of the day?!?!?
