She's Dumb In Smart Ways

Fred does not like to see me go.
She's seen me get ready for a journey many times before and somehow in the depths of her fuzzy little brain remembers that she will be left behind. Given- she's left behind at a highly rated pet hotel with a heated indoor pool and loads of other dogs to play with, but as I'm not there with her- to her, she's being abandoned.

So last night, she set about to sabotage me:
1) Fred did something very unusual for her: she went up on a counter and snatched all the snacks I had laid out for my trip. I caught her with her snout halfway through my beef jerky. Still smelt it on her breathe this morning.
2) Fred went to my suitcase (packed full but not zipped close yet), tossed out everything, laid down in it, and took a nap. I couldn't help thinking she was trying to pack herself. I mentioned to her that it would have been a more successful attempt if maybe she had covered herself with a shirt.



Merry X-Mas!
