The Cat-Dog is a Cat Burglar

I ripped off two chunks of French bread to eat with a bit of cheese. Then all hell broke loose.

Husband’s yelling over my daughter hollering. I tossed my snack on a chair and jumped in to help.

Apparently, Lia 🐕🐾 , the cat-dog 🐈- 🐕, had crawled out from under the coffee table and knocked over the 24-ounce drink 🥤 my husband just poured.

We lunged to save remotes, iPads, computers 💻 and electronic what-not from the soda 🥤 flood. Our daughter ran for towels.

Chaos ensued.

After all the hubbub settled, I turned around to have a sit and munch on fancy cheese and crusty bread 🥖.

There, I beheld one chunk of bread. One, not two. “Hey, where’s my other piece of bread?”

I spun around and checked the floor. “I had two pieces!”

Husband and daughter looked around, clueless. That’s when my eyes fell upon her.

She sat up tall as she could, eyes frozen in my direction, not moving, not even breathing.

As if I couldn’t see the 1/2 inch of bread sticking out the side of her stuffed mouth.

It wasn’t just 1/2 an inch, the whole 3 inch chunk sat on her tongue and hid behind big doggie lips. Except for that half inch.

“Hey! YOU STOLE IT!”

Lia 🐕🐾 didn’t move a muscle. “I can still see it!” I shouted to her face.

She didn’t even blink. I swear she thought if she didn’t move I wouldn’t see her.

I stuck my hand 🤚🏻 in her mouth and rummaged around. “You don’t get to keep this.”

Soggy bread swooshed between my fingers. “We don’t steal in our house.”

A sucking sound emerged with my hand 🤚🏻 and a hunk of bread. (Don’t worry, I left her the soggy bits.) she spit them out like a hot potato.

Right, someone made you do it… I pointed down to the mess, “Go ahead…” she lunged and vacuumed it up.

I turned to the family and held up my prize. “She didn’t even chew it. She just sat there hoping she was invisible.”

I threw the bread away and realization popped into my head. I spun around and shouted to my family. “SHE PLANNED IT!”

“That conniving cat-dog burglar!”

Can she jam that nose in and bend it any further? (on the right) Photos by Wendy Snyder.

Sometimes love is loving through the accidents, mess, and poor choices.
