A small snapshot of a large mess

I will agree that the mess was large and that at first blush this would appear to be the doings of a curious border collie. YES, the clothes hamper was flipped over with all items thoroughly inspected. YES, there was a bag of treats in a remote corner of the kitchen counter that found their way to the floor and were subsequently eaten. YES, the bathroom and office trash cans were emptied. I’m not going to sit here and pretend those things didn’t happen. And while I don’t agree with it, I do get the finger pointing directly in my sweet innocent perky eared face.

HOWEVER, think back for a moment if you will. Think back to a time when you were left at home with, say, a sibling. A sibling that was less than perfect. One that might destroy a potted plant and shift the blame to you. One that might drink the last swig of milk and leave an empty milk glass in your room. I’m quite certain you can conjure up a memory that left you assumed guilty for an action you did not commit. Think of helplessness you felt when all eyes were fixed at you and you knew you were not responsible! Or at least not solely responsible.

As I am a border collie that would not feel right in selling out another four legged friend, I would simply suggest that there were indeed 8 legs present on this evening. At times legs tangle and you can hardly tell a brown leg from a speckled one! Likewise it’s often difficult to separate the actions or intentions of one wagging tail from another! Sometimes things can get so confused and mixed up before you know it there’s a brown dog donkey-kicking a hamper over and before you realize it you’ve got a shirt halfway across the floor because you simply want to smell your wonderful owner. I’m not here to say who’s right or wrong in this situation.

Let us not forget the things your siblings got you caught up in that you never meant to be involved in. Their words and peer pressure convincing you to do things you wouldn’t normally do on your own. Is it a coincidence that Charlotte and instigator both contain the letters a & t? Who am I to say for I am simply a silly dog with a blog. I would merely suggest, however, that without full details of what occurred on this night, it’s impossible to confidently point a finger at anybody! With this in mind, I would motion for treats for all!!!

Oh but you need more treats. The brown one jumped up on the counter and ate them all.
