Well, that’ll teach her.
Sydney has gotten much better as she's gotten older about begging for & stealing food. But she still will try to sneak a bite off a discarded plate from time to time. Like just now.
My dad left to do some errands, and before he went I had him make me up a plate of leftovers. It wound up being more than could eat. I pushed the plate back frm the edge of the desk, told Sydney to "leave it," and turned my back so I could work at my computer desk.
All was well for about 25 minutes... and then i heard that distinctive scarfscarfscarf noise that means she's trying to pull a fast one. I literally had to nudge her with my chair to get all 4 paws on the ground again, she was so determined.
In the end, she didn't actually get one of the remaining shrimp, but she lapped up a lot of sauce. And what sauce was that? Bonefish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp, which is quite flavorful, but about ten second after you swallow, there's a rush of heat that's been known to make my nose run.
So now Sydney's walking around doing the doggy version of muttering under her breath and drinking lots of water. I think she learned her lesson!
