Here's a funny story for you.. The other night I decided to sit on the and watch a movie. I had just toasted and buttered an English muffin and sat it on a paper towel on the couch next to me. I only had two kids out. BonBon and Nibbles - two older gals. Well BonBon acts like she is 2 years old and loves to play. but that's another story. So BonBon came up on the couch. sniffed the muffin and bounced away. So, I figured "ok I don't have to worry".. Boy was I wrong! There I am, eating one piece of my toasted, buttered English muffin and watching my movie. I get done with that piece and go to reach for the other half and it's GONE. It was RIGHT next to me and I didn't see it grow legs and run away! BonBon is no where in sight! She HAD to of taken it. I double check my memory to make sure that I didn't eat that second piece and just forgot. NOPE. So under the couch I go. she sticks her head out like "what? There's nothing here!" Then as I have my whole arm under the couch she thinks that I am trying to get her to play .. And bites my fingers (she loves fingers!). Nibbles wakes up and goes over to where I am guessing the stolen muffin is.! I'm thinking "great, now I have to figure out how to get under the couch and remove it!" Not that I want to eat it! But don't want them eating it either. Nibbles looks at me. and I swear she smiled! Then climbs into the hammock under the couch.so she is now in my way! Just as I reach the muffin BonBon comes out from nowhere and bites my fingers and then halls butt with the muffin! I can't adjust fast enough to get her. and she ran behind the hutch with it! AHHH she thinks she's won! She put it almost dead center behind the hutch. but because we have a 3 inch gap back there. I can get the broom behind there to push the poor English muffin to safety. No sooner did I get it up and go to reach for it. again, BonBon comes out of NOWHERE and scoops it up! I'm not kidding folks! And you know, I'm pretty quick. but this girl can move! So I say "fine, you keep it". I go make another one and keep it close to me while I eat! When she went to bed. well silly me let out the Goose Troop. and Goose is MUCH worse when it comes to food. but he's also slower than BonBon. so as he brings it out to "show me" I get most of it from him! Silly kids. Muffins are for hoomans :-) Joanne Ferret Corner Shelter www.geocities.com/ferretcorneraz [Posted in FML issue 5020]
