I made an enormous dish of chicken cordon bleu.
It’s a fussy, time-consuming meal, so I only make it for special occasions.
And when I do make it, I make a HUGE batch with leftovers for days, maybe even some to freeze. I want to get as many meals as I can out of the effort.
Apparently, Blue didn’t get the memo.
Yes. You guessed it.
She ate the entire dish.
Well, almost. We did manage to eat one meal. So she ate everything minus one serving.
Sigh.
Wrigley never did anything like that.
Of course, Wrigley only weighed 25 pounds and couldn’t reach the counter. No opportunity. No temptation. No counter surfing.
Blue is huge.
She can reach the counter with all four paws still on the floor.
She’s learned that if she’s quiet and graceful about it, she might not get caught.
Might.
Because really, who else would eat an entire pan of food and lick the dish clean right after dinner while everyone else is sitting in the other room?
There was yelling.
There was blame.
There was a surprising amount of name-calling directed at the dog.
Blue showed no shame.
No remorse.
No regret.
This was a demonstration in expert-level counter surfing.
She will absolutely do it again.
It was yummy.
Sigh.
And now we wait.
Vomit is coming.
Small dogs rule.
