lesson learned

I declare that I will NEVER forget to take out the trash EVER AGAIN! It is not like to me state such an extreme statement but the consequences of ignoring my declaration are far worse. On Thurs, Tom and I had some miscommunication and we both left the house for work with a garbage bag full of trash sitting next to the garbage can in our kitchen. Needless to say, we came home from work to find a remorseful dog and trash strewn around our kitchen. I can say that I am thankful to have people who pick up our trash week after week.

The clincher in this lesson actually came the next morning. I once again find a remorseful dog outside my shower door. Silly me thinks Rocky is still being sorry for yesterday's 'dumpster dive'; however, the truth smacked my senses as I came downstairs to the kitchen. Rocky had gotten sick during the night and left my kitchen smelling like a pile of dirty diapers. Had I been pregnant, I might've lost the breakfast I had not yet eaten.

We took Rocky to the vet to be sure nothing else was wrong and was diagnosed with Colitis. He needed to be on a strict diet of Rice and protein for 3 days. Rocky thoroughly enjoyed his strict diet and much prefer it to his normal diet. I, on the other hand, could not believe that he was getting 'rewarded' for his dumpster diving escapade!!
