It may be hard to look at this face and see a ‘maniac,’ but beware. Looks are definitely deceiving in this case.
I told you that we took ‘Sweet Amber’ to the vet when we discovered she had several scary problems recently. I can happily report she has almost completely healed from all of them. She has regained her normal manic activity level and love of life, back to all her old good (and bad) ways.
She is in the proverbial dog house now, due to a combination of my stupidity and her greed.
I cooked a dinner of chicken chunks and soup over rice last night. I cleaned up the kitchen quickly after, wanting to get back to the living room where we were watching a movie on TV.
I put the leftovers in three plastic containers, then put the skillet on the floor so that Amber could ‘clean it up’ (one of her favorite activities) and turned on the dishwasher.
The next thing I saw was three plastic containers on her bed in the utility room. I had forgotten to put the lids on the containers and put them in the freezer. I left them uncovered on the kitchen counter. Amber had taken full advantage of the situation and ‘cleaned house,’ eating every bit in the three containers.
I put her outside, thinking she might “bring all this extra food up for a vote,” but she didn’t. We left her in her bed on the tiles as we usually do last night, but she still wasn’t ill overnight. I put her out this morning as usual.
As of this typing, she still hasn’t been sick. She is in my dog house, though, because she took advantage of my distraction and stupidity. I’m still looking at her as though she might be a time bomb…
