We've had Lucy more than a year now and she is darn near perfect inside the house. She NEVER, (and I mean never!) chews on anything she shouldn't and doesn't get into any trouble in the house when we leave her by herself. We've never taken the steps to put anything away or out of her reach before we leave her alone. Well, knock us over with a feather on how shocked Samantha and I were when walked in the house Friday evening, just 3 hours after being gone. Jeff and Ian were at the movies so they didn't see what happened and it was all cleaned up by the time they got home.
Lucy got into Sam's Halloween candy. Sam had a pretty big bag full (I'm talking like a Wegman's recyclable grocery bag size). The bag was located in Sam's bedroom.
When we walked into the house, it looked like a Halloween candy massacre! There were wrappers everywhere. Most of the candy she wasn't able to get into and gave up after smooshing the fun size bar flat in her mouth and spit it back out. But the tootsie roll lollipop was 1/2 eaten and after finishing the yummy center, she stopped eating the rest of the lollipop. I wonder how many licks it took her to get the center? Hahahaha!
The candy trail continued up the stairs to Sam's bedroom. That's where we found the biggest mess of her efforts. She took the grocery bag and turned it on its side and got most of the candy to come out. She apparently loves whoppers and once she opened the wrapper, she ate all of them. But when it came to the peanut m&m's, she put each one in her mouth and then spit it out without even taking a bite. How do we know? Because when she spit it back out, each peanut m&m was left colorless. Lucy also has a liking for 100 Grand bars. That she managed to open the wrapper and finish. On top of Sam's bed was a kit kat bar that was placed there by Lucy.
After Samantha and I cleaned everything up, we go into my bedroom and Sam notices that there is now a twix bar on Jeff's side of the bed by his pillow. I guess she was bringing him a present. I am not taking it personally that she didn't leave me any candy. We get a good laugh and are happy that she didn't manage to eat more of than candy than she did. Dogs are not supposed to have chocolate.
The next morning, I go downstairs and see a 3 Musketeers bar in the middle of the room, on the floor. I know for a fact that it wasn't there after we cleaned up the mess the night before. The candy bar was smooshed flat, but she wasn't able to get in the wrapper.
About 3 hours after that, Lucy comes up from the family room and is carrying a Milky Way in her mouth. WHAT??!? I'm now thinking that Lucy has a secret stash of candy hiding in the house somewhere. What a character!
Lucy must've been very busy as soon as we left the house on Friday evening. I would've loved to have video footage and be able to see her in action.
