It was a quiet black Friday around the Mangigian home. Max and I headed out about 9 AM to go to Waterloo Gardens because they had white pine roping on sale until noon. Max wanted to exchange some of his old PS2 games to be put toward an XBOX 360. We fought all the way to the mall, over all of the things he thought he "had to have" in past Christmases and all of the things that have gone by the wayside, not much used, like the 3 bags of PS2 games that probably cost me hundreds of dollars over the years and which he got $98 for today. He didn't get my message of past abundance in this time when I am wondering how I am ever going to pull Christmas off without credit cards.
We pulled through it though, as always and came home to have a nice lunch of leftovers. My mom spent about 45 minutes cutting all of the meat off of the turkey. I was putting the carcass in a pot and cutting up carrots, celery and onion. I turned to look at the table and couldn't believe my eyes! JJ, the shortest dog in the world, was standing on top of my kitchen table, over an enormous but very empty platter of what was once our lunch and dinner for today! I honestly could not believe my eyes. He ate an entire platter of food, in a very short amount of time. He couldn't have possibly chewed it. I think he inhaled it! How did such a short dog ever manage to climb up onto the table? Another lesson I haven't been able to teach my boys is how to push their freaking kitchen chairs in when they leave the table. That darn dog even managed to lick my face before I put him outside to ponder the error of his ways.
Black Friday... JJ is on 24 hour watch to see if he gets sick from all of the food. My veterinarian is closed today, but my husband plays basketball with a very nice veterinarian, who laughed. He said "how would you like to smell all of that good food and then have someone give you a bowl of dry kibble"? Point well taken. He said that dogs are very devious when they smell food and will stop at nothing to get what they want. Since JJ ate enough for 4 meals, he won't be getting dinner tonight!
Now look at this innocent face. Who would have thought that this little guy would steal my lunch and my dinner?
Susan- just so you know my Glen had sympathy sickness for JJ. He didn't even eat the turkey leftovers and he was sick today. We went out of town and got him to find him a bit under the weather and sick to his little (okay big) tummy. He seems fine now.
