When Good Dogs Go Bad...

We went out this evening to a welcome home party for David. We had a very nice time -- and then, courtesy of She-who-must-be-obeyed, we came home to this:

This was a gift I got at a Christmas Party, which was going to be re-gifted since we are trying not to eat this sort of thing. Believe it or not, she was up on the table when we came home. (Remind you of anything, Kim?)

This is where she knocked several items on the floor, and tore open the shrink-wrapped box of chocolates:

And here is a close up of the deed:

And all of that led to this:

Yep - this "good" girl has gone bad. I have spared you the gross details, but lets just say that the couch and 2 of our 3 living room chairs had to have some deep cleaning done. I think she ate her weight in chocolate (well, not really, but she did eat half the box!)

Well, beyond our excitement for the evening, life is moving along. Things at work have been going well, although I was "flexed" again this week. It was nice to have an extra day off, but I am sure I will be feeling it next week - when paychecks come out. On the upside, it appears that I will be moving to a new job at the hospital. I will give more detail once it is official, which should be sometime this next week.

This week is going to be busy (aren't they all??) We have our Christmas Program on Wednesday evening - which includes getting the church cleaned up, a soup supper and then the program. Much fun will be had by all. Sunday, after an early service, we will be having our Christmas Open House Brunch. After which, we will have a greening of the church service. So, needless to say, it will be a fun time of getting ready for it all.

In response to some of my previous posts, God has answered my (and many others') prayers in wonderful and awesome ways over the last week or so. It has been my privilege to be witness the goodness of God. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!

She who must be obeyed must have sent Skittles a message via osmosis...she got into the chocolate at my Mom's house...and proceeded to express her gratitude for the snack on the new white carpet.

regarding the phrase "she who must be obeyed" I have only one quote by Michael Scott "that's what she said". Love ya,
