Last night I was trying to get to bed early (for me), so I left a few things around the kitchen to take care of later. I knew I'd left the silverware rack on the counter, but what I didn't mean to leave was the open dog food can, 3/4th full after giving the dog her evening treat.

In the morning I found it on its side on the floor, empty except for a few globs in the very bottom. Ivy's a German shepard who's too big and old to even THINK about jumping up to grab something off the high counter, which leaves the cat; Tarius likes Ivy's food too, but there's no way he could have eaten a nearly full can by himself.

Which means that they teamed up to get the can down to the floor and scarf it down before anyone could stop them. I knew they're friends, but damn! What really boggles my mind is where on the counter I left the can - behind the silverware rack. I have NO idea how Tarius got it down off the counter and past the rack. I'd also love to know how he got it to the floor without accidently dumping it into one of the two open drawers just below the counter...

I didn't scold them; it was a little late by the time I found the can and realized what had happened. Besides, after an escapade like THAT I'd say they earned their treat!
