"Stormy....... Take Two"

It is a well known fact that I love animals. When I was a kid, I would always pick up the strays in the neighborhood and bring them home because I felt sorry for them. Stormy, on the other hand was just placed on E-Bay and is presently for sale to a good home. Free too! Just kidding of course, but this morning she really tested me.

Now, if you remember back a few blogs ago, I wrote about "Stormy Weather". Stormy promised that she would be a good little doggie after destroying Hubby's choppers, and then the ultimate no no, the steaks. Since that time, Stormy has been a very good little doggie. Nothing really under the ordinary, digging a few holes in the back yard, but normal doggie stuff. Ok, I can certainly deal with that. Now mind you when Hubby brought Stormy home (without my knowledge or consent, mind you) He told me "Not to worry, this was His Dog and he would take care of her and train her to be the perfect dog". I feed the dogs, so guess who they like most and hang out with? Me, of course.

The Sunday morning routine in our house is Hubby gets up early, makes the coffee, goes out to feed the horses and then makes this great breakfast. That has never changed in over 25 years of being together. It is a tradition that was in my home when my Dad would make waffles for breakfast before church on Sundays. Now, like I said. This is routine. Well... this Sunday, Hubby asked if I would get up first and make the coffee. He wanted to sleep in alittle longer. Sure, I said. Why not. I am retired now so I can start doing more of the cooking. So I got up, went down stairs, hung a left, then another left into the kitchen, and said, "Stormyyyyyyyyy!!!!!,
what the heck, (I think I did not say heck, tho) have you been up to". "Get out side now"!!! She got into the rubbish last night and just had a ball for herself. Luckily, paper products only scattered all over the kitchen floor. What a sight to see the first thing in the morning. I am now wondering just why the previous owners of Stormy really gave us this Free Dog. I'll bet Stormy got into just one too many rubbish cans , ate one too many steaks and off she went to a free home.

Well, me being a sucker for animals, I am willing to give her another chance. I had a long talk with her this morning and she again promised not to be bad anymore. Sooo.... we will see.

One thing kinda bothers me and makes me think. Last night, I asked Hubby to go downstairs to get me a cold bottle of water. Now that cold bottle of water is in the refrigerator which is in the kitchen. I now am wondering if this mess that Stormy left was already there when Hubby came down to fetch the water. After all he did break tradition with the breakfast thing. Nooooo! he surely would not have done such a sneaky thing to me. No way, not my Hubby. No! Hmmmmmm??????
