Double Teamed!

We have one Dog and one Cat, and they are not as stupid as they pretend to be. The Dog is very obedient, and never goes counter surfing for food, but we all know that anything on the floor is fair game for her. We had left several chilis far back from the counter edge, but two of them had mysteriously vanished overnight. Where were they going?

The answer was worked out in the morning - J. caught the Cat on the kitchen counter, batting one of our small chilis around as a plaything for his amusement. Further investigation of the Dog's bed confirmed our suspicions:

  1. The Cat would slap shot a chili to the floor of the kitchen,
  2. Dog would trot past and pick up chili in mouth, and
  3. Eat chili on her bed whilst leaving stem and seeds intact.
Bravo, animals, you have won this round, but next time we will use - plastic containers!
