I had 4 cards to open this morning, more expected from the postman's visit later. I opened them over breakfast and, as I had an errand to run first thing, I stood them all neatly on top of the boom box speaker next to the TV cabinet.
Errand run, I returned home to find Brandy laid on his blanket with one of my birthday cards next to him, the corner having been nibbled away (both my dogs have always enjoyed eating cardboard, but seemed to have given up the habit over the last year or 2)
I delicately retrieved it from him, so as not to upset him too much and went to replace it, when I realised how carefully he had removed it from the top of the speaker box as the other cards remained in place, undisturbed...
Or so I thought...
It didn't take me long to count the multitude of cards and re-count to identify that there were only 2 left standing, the half-nibbled one in my hand made 3...
One was missing.
I scoured around the speaker box to see if it had fallen down the side or behind the tv cabinet... nothing.
I checked all the bed areas we have for the dogs, behind the settee, in the kitchen, under the dining table...nothing.
The only conclusion I can reach is that card number 1 has been eaten in its entirety, not a morsel, a corner, a scrap of evidence remains to say the card even existed. Had I not opened it myself, I would have questioned it's very existence.
So, thank you Shirley & Keith, I did receive my card, read it and enjoy the picture... but it is no more.
Brandy is now snoozing happily with a full tummy.
On the other hand I did get a bit of a surprise when I turned on my computer this morning and found that Google were wishing me a happy birthday... Is there anything they don't know about us?
Have a Great Day Everyone, I know I'm going to.
