Yes, I know she shouldn’t have.
Yes, I know it was her, even though she tried to deny it.
No, I don’t hold a grudge and she won’t be in that much trouble, even though I was looking forward to having a couple of them myself tonight after dinner.
When every single one of the home made peanut butter cookies has disappeared from the cabinet you thought was locked, and you found the plasticware container under her bed, and you know you didn’t eat them, that only leaves one answer.
Yes, I know the dog did it.
If she could talk, when it comes to peanut butter, and especially peanut butter baked goods, she would say that resistance is futile.
Linking up with Denise at Girlie On The Edge Blog, where she hosts Six Sentence Stories, and the cue is Resistance.

Gosia at Looking for Identity has taken over Good Fences, and it's now Good Fences Around The World. Post a picture of a fence or gate, link back to her blog, and go visit other blogs to see what interesting fences there are out in this big world.
Gosia has been having a bit of trouble with her blog, so there might or might not be a link up this week.
Somebody got a new fence:

It's Angel Sammy's Poetry Day! This week's image and my poem:
Dog’s Poem:
My kitten is warm,
My kitten is fluffy,
She likes to snuggle,
I call her Muffy.
I hold her close,
She counts on me
To keep her safe
She’s my baby.
Cat’s Poem:
Don’t laugh,
He’s a good blanket.

A very new fence.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem too.
That fence is a veritable fort, and your poem so funny. Clever dog, did you ever find out how it got through a locked door?
ReplyDeleteMorning coffee and a smile. Thank you once again, Mimi for a delightful read as I ready for work. btw, they'll always look you right in the eye, their eyes expressing "what? me? no, no...you must have me confused with someone else..." :D
ReplyDeleteYour poem. Says it all, doesn't it, lol
Perhaps bake an extra batch of cookies for Coda? :)
Mom doesn't like anything with peanut butter, so it is rare we even get any around here, but we do love it. Hope the pup didn't get sick from eating the cookies! No privacy fence for us. Mom like us to be able to look out of the yard, and she wants to as well, but lots of people like to be locked in.
ReplyDeleteAh ... good fences are back.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
and... and! if there is a lifeform that deserves understanding for a moment of weakness before temptation, it is surely our canine friends.
ReplyDeletefun Six
Can't get mad at our babies. They just do what they do.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem. So cute.
I'm thankful you and I have been blogging buddies for so many years.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Big hug. ♥
That was a fun doggy story! Those were cute poems and I'll bet Coda is thankful you are caring for him. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteA new fence, comfy and cozy couple, and my kitty is aloof! Have a great one Today!
ReplyDeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteYour Dog's Poem and Cat's Poem cracked me up. It even made DH laugh. :D Thanks for making us laugh. Have a good day and don't worry about visiting little ole me on time. CAAC is open 24/7 so anytime is a good time, just do it at your leisure. Oh yeah, don't worry about WP's fickleness. I spot check my Spam folder frequently. ;)
LOL! I giggled out loud at the Dog's Poem! And, yes, that is certainly a fine, new fence. Oddly, now I have a desire to make peanut butter cookies. xoxox
ReplyDeleteTee hee great story and the dog and cat poems were great! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI too would've been snagging those peanut butter cookies because they are my all time favorite. - I LOVE the dog/cat poem, especially the cat part. - I am thankful that fall has truly arrived out here.
ReplyDeletethat poem is the best !!!!!
ReplyDeletewe had a bulldog in my "yooth" who liked peanut butter better than his canned meatballs in gravy ☺☺☺♥♥♥
I love peanut butter cookies too, they are my fave! I love that both dog and cat got to do their own poem - the cats poem made me giggle.

ReplyDeleteHad a giggle at the cat's reply to the dog's sweet poem.

ReplyDeleteThe beauty of friendship regardless of type.
Greetings from Indonesia.
