It’s been awhile since I have sat down to write something on this blog.  Abby has been very good for a very long time, until this past week, and last night. She started by taking small things like normal, then last week I walked outside, and when I came back in, she had taken one of my containers with lettuce in it, off the counter, and it had hit the floor.  Well as you can imagine lettuce was all over the floor and the lid was gone.  Of course, it was a lid with silicone in it, so I took off running and yelling her name at the same time; sure enough she beat cheeks out the door with the lid in her mouth.  I guess she knew I was mad at her, and when I told her to drop it, she did, much to my amazement.  I got the lid just in the nick of time, no damage, and the silicone was all there.

 

Last night I had to make an emergency run to the bathroom, and did not have time to grab my phone, well while I was in the bathroom she got my new iphone with an otter box cover on it, took it outside in the snow, and ate the silicone cover off the phone. Thank goodness for the otter box cover, as it saved my phone. It was really, really cold as it was snowing, but no damage to the phone it self.  You know the least she could have done was bring it back in the house when she was done with it, but no I had to go outside and retrieve it.

Since I have written this last story, Abby chewed a hole in one of my brand new socks, and while I was loading the dishwasher last night my silicone baster fell out of the top rack, hit the floor, and of course Abby was right there.  She grabbed the baster, and took off running.  I called her name, but she kept on going, my husband was in the office, and heard me yelling at her to stop, so he came running out to see what was going on.  He said that she went outside, so I went out one door, and he went out the other.  We could barely see her, it was very dark, wet and cold outside last night, and Abby being black it was a real challenge to see her.  So I told my husband to go and get a flashlight, he did we could then see Abby, and what she was doing. She did not have anything in her mouth, and it took us a little while to find the top of the baster, all in one piece, but we could not find the handle to it.  My husband walked back towards the house, and there was the handle all in one piece, much to our amazement, lying on the deck.  We are not sure how she got the baster apart so fast, and off the deck, and into the yard before we got to her.
