I have a really funny story for everyone!
Getting ready for Mother's Day, I was pre-cooking potatoes and didn't have any
counter space left for the bag after I had taken the spuds out that I wanted,
so I set the bag down on a flat of cola I had bought and not yet put away.
Ignorantly went about my business when I heard the sound of plastic rustling -
a common occurence as we leave quite a few plastic grocery bags around for the
girls to play in. Well, the noise didn't stop, didn't get louder - but was
persistent. I turned around to look, only to see Nreese's head stuck in the
potato bag, (really it wasn't stuck - it was the 'tater holding her back).
Well, I hollered for my SO to come watch this! We just about peed ourselves -
and she continued her performance! She rescued the spud, and tried to get it
behind the microwave cart - her first of course. Over the squeals and
laughter, all you could here was "thud...thud...thud...thud..." she wasn't
giving up on that spud! She finally hissed at it (I think, it may have been
us laughing at her she was hissing at), and zoomed off to her next prospective
safe spot - under the TV/entertainment unit. My SO cut her off at the pass,
she tried jumping over the box he pushed in her way, but no way was she going
to let us have *HER* potato! So off she trucks with her head held so high I
thought she might be touching her ears on her shoulder blades hoofing that
potato up two flights of stairs to hide in my bedroom. Phew! Could you
imagine that going mouldy, slimy etc. etc.? Uck! Well, we chased her up the
stairs - that little carpet shark sure can move with almost any load she wants
relocated! She finally stuffed the potato under my dresser. Was she ever
pi**ed off when we pulled out the drawer and rescued the spud! She must have
been lonely for her hedgehogs (I've taken away 3 in the past month - she's
just destroyed them! My SO teased her with it a little - and she sure acted
like it was a 'hog)
Needless to say, she earned the title "Spud Rustler".
