The Growing Family and the Coffee Thief

I had so much to tell with this blog, I didn't want to over do it, and then I went and under did it.

Rest assured, the dogs are in training mode. The weather has warmed a bit and daily walks around the park have started daily again. Winter has gone through Basic Training and we start Intermediate in just a few short days.

The family is really coming together. Geoff proposed in February so the family will be legally official in October.

Now, I promised a story about the Coffee Thief.

Coming home from our first class together, I swung by a coffee shop. I knew it'd be a late night of work and I needed an extra boost. I also needed to make a quick stop by my boss' house to record, at the most, 2 minutes of audio. At most, this would be a 5 minute stop, then home.

No big deal...right? He's got a huge fenced backyard. Just put him out there...record, and be on our way. Well, was I wrong.

Winter's outside for a total of 1 minute, before he sees that I'm inside talking to my boss, so of course, he should be inside too. One problem. The big sliding glass door that separates the two of us.

When that boy hit that door, I kid you not, the house shook. On the deck outside, one stunned dog with a look that clearly said "What the hell just happened?" Fearing that he'd do that again and break the glass, I put him back in my truck.

Two minutes later, I exit the house and jump in my truck. Now, remember that coffee? Yeah. Winter had it on the passenger seat with streaks of Cafe Mocha streaking down his white legs and around his muzzle and spreading across the seat. /head desk

Coffee and Caffiene are NOT safe around him. He's since been known to grab Mountain Dew bottles off the end tables and chew the tops off and drain any contents that happened to have been left inside.

For the record...this is not the worst he's gotten into. Spring may be here...but Winter's reign is far from over.
