Case in point and another memory. Years ago, when we had our beloved dog Bridgette, Gregg came back from a business trip up north somewhere. He had been given a packet of beef sticks from a client, who told him these were the best he would ever taste. Gregg agreed with him, bought and tucked a packet into his suitcase. Noticing Bridgette salivating after he returned home after unpacking his suitcase, he put the packet on top of the dresser draw in our bedroom, as far back as he could. It was a very high chest of drawers. Hours later after we returned from a shopping trip, and dear other half went upstairs, I noticed Bridgette acting a little oddly. From the bedroom I heard, “What the heck?” Torn wrapping was found all over the bed and on the floor. He came down, showed her the evidence and said, “Bridgette, what did you do?” Usually she would follow him upstairs but this time she stayed by my side. Her ears went flat on her head and she looked very guilty. We never yelled at her and we didn’t this time either. She was a nervous dog, a black lab/Dalmatian mix, and we were the third family in her life, having been shipped back to the pound by previous owners. Animals follow their instincts, especially when food is around, and it was a reminder. We should have put them away more securely. A while later I saw her get on the end of our bed, stretch across to the dresser with her paws resting on the top, just nosying around. Maybe a beef stick had been overlooked but no, she had been very thorough. Another lesson learned by the humans, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
