Just had to share a funny, and knowing the furbaby lovers/owners in here, I knew you would understand.
My sister sent me a check which I got yesterday evening. I simply left it on the table at the time, since we were on the way out the door. Went to DS's sleep study, came home this morning, and we all left again. Got back before 11:00 this morning, and here's my sister's check in 2 or 3 pieces! The dog left the check alone during the night, but just had to get it today.
I'm glad it was a check, and not cash or a money order. I called my sister and said "The dog tried to eat your check." Her reply was "'Scuse me?". She's a 3rd grade teacher. I felt like I was a student telling the teacher that the dog ate my homework. Needless to say, we're calling this check voided and she's sending a new one.
As soon as possible, we're going to get Nikkie (DH's 1 yr old, 50lb bassett) a crate. I think she just gets bored when she's left alone for very long. It's like having 2 ADHD children in the house....DD and the dog! LOL
