Oddly enough I have not read Marley and Me. I think because I feel I have my own Marley to keep me more than on my toes. Yes that would be Annie my Beagle. As vigilant and thorough as I think I am she proves me wrong way too often. Well anyway, yesterday started out pretty good with me making bacon, eggs, toast and coffee for breakfast. Then we headed out for book sales!! Half Price Books mostly, one our favorite spots. We had a nice morning, visited Striderite for slippers, then had lunch and coffee. On getting home we let the dogs out and as they went running out we were wondering why Annie's back was all wet? Well on entering the kitchen I quickly realized it was not water but instead she was soaked with bacon grease.
Well that was the rest of my day. Laboring to get bacon grease off the floor, the cupboards, the tracks she made through the rest of the house, and then of course Annie herself. I had to use Dawn dish soap to cut through the grease in her coat. And it did a great job.
So Annie had tipped the cast iron skillet off the top of the stove and on to the floor (and everywhere else). She is not a tall dog but she has tremendous drive to get things done. At least she waited for the grease to cool off, she was fine, at least on the outside. So now I have one more thing to check off my list in case I dare leave the house, and that list is already pretty long. But I do love this dog!
