To get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?
I didn’t actually witness it, but my dog Molly found out this week. Sigh..
My other dog, Joey, has taken to raiding my purse in the last several months. I’ve walked into the living room to find pens, my small hairbrush, my press pass, etc. strewn all over the floor.
So after cleaning up his most recent raid, not realizing he’d also fished out a grape Tootsie pop, I went about unloading my dishwasher while Molly chewed on what I thought (judging by the sound of the item she was chewing on) was a cow hoof.
It was not a cow hoof and all I managed to get away from her after realized what she was doing was the stick and the wrapper. Argh.
But the best part? Her face was so sticky afterward that all the fuzz from the carpet, blanket and her toys stuck to her chin.
I know one of these days they will outgrow the puppy phase. Granted, they are both five years old, but I keep waiting for them to start acting like it.
