The truth comes out. Remember how I mentioned that our good behavior record, while our human was away, was tarnished by the screen door – with the hole in it? And remember how I admitted guilt in the crime? Well. Guess what? It WASN’T me – and the criminal was CAUGHT!
You see, Frodo did it – but convinced me to act as the scapegoat, because, well I usually AM the one who does something bad! He promised me some kibble and I fell for it. BUT – he was exposed as the culprit when my human went to groom us when she got back from her trip…
Grooming me is generally not a difficult task. But Frodo? Mr. “Good Behavior”? Not so much when it comes to grooming. It’s like a scene out of a wrestling match at the Olympics. With all of the grunting and groaning included – most of which is done by my human. Anyway – as my human was brushing Frodo, she came across what she THOUGHT was a mat. She carefully pulled it out of Frodo’s back leg and then took a closer look. The MAT was made of metal. Hmmmmmmm. She looked at it more closely. Velcro? No. A scrub brush? No. It was screening from the door!!!! And not only did she find ONE piece stuck in his coat – she found TWO! Busted.
Haha big brother. Guess you’re not such a big deal after all. But. Can I still have that kibble?
