Last night, I had dessert for the very first time. I wasn’t supposed to have dessert, but the opportunity presented itself and like any smart Scottie, I took the the opportunity and literally ran with it.
After dinner, Wen brought a paper bag into the living room and set it on the coffee table. The bag contained a large cookie which she ate part of and then put the rest back into the bag. When a commercial came on TV, Wen left us loose in the house while she went to get the mail and when she got back, she caught me chewing up a big piece of paper. She grabbed the paper away from me and as she was throwing it away, it occurred to her that it was the remains of the bakery bag that the cookie had been in.
The cookie was long gone, as was part of the bag, and while she was gone, I had managed to nab and eat a sweet treat right off the coffee table. The lucky thing was that I didn’t get in trouble for snatching dessert because someone shouldn’t have left a cookie within reach of curious Scotties, knowing that dogs will be dogs.
