THE DOG ATE MY SANDWICH !

There's something really really funny watching a dog trying to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. How did this come about one might ask? I made myself a sandwich.
And when I make s sandwich it's usually gourmet all the way. Toasting two slices of whole grain wheat bread, real peanut butter not that sugary goop they try and pass for peanut butter, fresh fruit in the jar jelly and a smear of marshmallow fluff. It was some sandwich I had made for myself. Well I placed the sandwich on the kitchen table and proceded to make myself some Earl Grey tea to wash it down with. I guess I place the sandwich a little to close to the edge of the table. Gordon the farm dog decided I had made the sandwich for him and was munching on it under the table as I returned with my cup of tea. Now you've got to understand that Gordie is a full grown Collie. You know...the "Lassie" size of a furball. He's usually pretty good at not taking anything off the table but he is tall enough that if he wants to he can with ease. I must admit at first I was mad at him for stealing my sandwich but after a minute of watching him trying to deal with the stickiness of the peanut butter an Fluff I couldn't help but laugh at him as he kept having to lick the roof of his mouth over and over with a "what did I get myself into" look in his eyes. So just to get even with him I put his water dish on the kitchen counter where he could'nt get a drink. I don't think he'll be taking my sandwiches from me anytime soon.
