If you didn't know... our dog is a freak!
May. 17th, 2008 03:20 pmYesterday was Hank's birthday, and in honor of the occasion he took the day off work and spent it playing video games and eating chocolate mousse. Now I have made chocolate mouse for him before, and consider it to be a pain, so I purchased some from Whole Foods. Because of our "lovely" weather that ended up also being a pain, mostly due to high traffic volume on 99 as people traveled to the coast, and the insanity and road rage that heat and heavy traffic inspire in the general population. Being smart (at times) I keep a small cooler in the trunk of my car, so I was able to successfully transport the sacred mousse home on a bed of ice. When I reached our home, I moved the mousse, cooler and all, into the kitchen, and then nestled the tulip-shaped cups of chocolate mousse elaborately topped with three types of berries and white chocolate straws, into the refrigerator. As I am completing this operation I begin to hear a loud crunching noise. I move on to unpacking the other groceries and the crunching continues. And continues. For like 5 minutes. Of course it was the dog eating the ice. She often will eat an ice cube if we drop one on the floor, but this time she was chowing down on the cooler full of ice like it was cat food. What a freak... Anyway, today I gave up and filled half her water bowl with ice since she kept looking around for the cooler and I am a sucker.
