This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I don’t make my living blogging. No, the sad truth is, in real life, I’m an Administrative Assistant for an Engineering Firm.
I tell you this, because yesterday was Administrative Professional day, which I totally forgot about until I saw someone’s post on Facebook.
So when my boss asked me to go into the conference room because my co-worker needed to chat, I was understandably suspicious.
Turns out Joey DID have something to chat about, but it was really a diversion while my boss snuck this in.
Pretty isn’t it?
Purple, my favorite color.
What the fuck does that have to do with a dog blog you ask?
Hang in there friend, I promise you, a dog figures in here.
When I left for the day, I brought the plant home with me. I thought I could find a hook somewhere to hang the plant.
Turns out the hook on the plant was too thick for any of the available hooks at my house, and we were expecting a frost last night, so I put the plant on the corner of the pool table.
The CORNER of the POOL TABLE! You see that in the photo, right?
I put the plant on the corner of the pool table and went to change into my walking clothes. I grabbed my treat bag and as I did, I saw this.
Looks like part of a PURPLE flower to me!
Yeah, in the two minutes it took me to change my clothes and grab my treat bag, someone tried to eat the flowers.
Process of elimination will tell me who it is.
Sampson, can barely walk, never mind stand on his BACK LEGS to reach the pool table, so we’ll take his name out of the hat.
Delilah on the other hand, well Delilah routinely goes onto the pool table to score nummies, AND Delilah can STAND on her back legs.
For further proof to substantiate my claim, see the below photo.
Do you see that whitish looking spot on the left side of the flower? That’s dog slobber.
That particular flower is on the back side of the plant,which means the dog that did this really had to reach for it.
So there’s my evidence and my argument, who do you think the guilty puppy is?
Delilah,
I believe you are being unjustly accused. Just because you are capable doesn’t mean you did it, right? It might be time to take a stand and retain counsel. This is more than just you, this is about dogs all over the world being made to take the fall. It’s time to fight back. I’ll start a GoFundMe for your revolution.
Power to the Pups!
Oh man, we thought you made a fortune blogging and didn’t need to work! My mom is an assistant, but she didn’t get squat for the day! Oh well. We are still hoping to win the lottery, or make a fortune blogging, but they are dreams that won’t come true most likely. I’m going to vote for the cat as the guilty party. Cat bro Bert was MIA last night for a bit…he would eat flowers.
I’m pretty sure Delilah thought you brought her some pretty tasty new salad as a special treat! BTW I thought you were independently wealthy – from your blog, of course 😉
I’m glad the beautiful flowers survived mostly intact.
I didn’t know that yesterday was AA Day, either. It used to be Secretaries’ Day, but that was way back when. I haven’t been a secretary/AA since late 1979. Anyway, I’m glad your beautiful flowers survived “the attack of the D-Dog” too! And another thing we have in common: purple is also MY favorite color!
Ut oh…run for the hills. BOL
Snorts,
Lily & Edward
You definitely don’t need to call in the CSI team to solve this one. I wonder if purple is one of the colors dogs can see.
You mean you brought something into the house which wasn’t for either Delilah or Sampson… I think the guilty party may be you 🙂
Lady D…….All the way, all dang day!!
Well done, D. Walking on your back legs comes in handy! I think the humans are onto something there…. I hope the flowers were delicious.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Oh Delilah… plants are not for eating! LOL
Around here it’s usually our cat Samantha that would be the flower eater. However, we don’t think you have a cat….so who you gonna pass the blame on to, Delilah?? 🙂
Delilah for sure. I can not leave anything around or Cocoa will be in trouble with it. Eating or destroying it. Good thing they are so cute!!
Ummm…gosh, I can’t imagine! D-dog strikes again?
BTW, happy belated Admin’s Day, the day of the year I despised more than any other on the work calendar. I always said just be nice to me, don’t send flowers or take me to lunch with you. This probably explains why I had to retire from the law firm because being nice well…that would be too simple, now wouldn’t it and I suspect the gift gesture was to overcompensate for being a toad the rest of the year. Seriously though, your bouquet plant, even slightly damaged, is quite lovely. Hopefully it’ll survive long enough for you to enjoy it outside. 🙂
Dear Delilah,
I suggest you acquire a very good attorney, all this evidence seems very circumstantial to me. I think you can get off on these charges. Besides don’t you have a cat??? Or maybe some of those pesky squirrels got in the house and ran back out the door when they heard your mom coming, yea I think that is what happened. I hear they are big droolers too!
poor Delilah. run girl run!!
Her name starts with a D. And, I’m with Lily and Edward – she better go hide! 🙂
Poor Delilah, always blamed….lol.
