My Dogs Teamed Up Against Me!ššØš¾
I always knew Luna and Max could be troublemakers. But nothing prepared me for the day I realized they werenāt just acting aloneāthey teamed up against me, and I was caught totally off guard.
Scene 1: The Eye-Opening Morning
It started innocently enough. I woke up to silenceātoo much silence from Luna and Max, my two golden retrievers. Usually thereās a bark, a toy being dragged, or Luna nudging me for breakfast. But this time? Nothing. I stretched, padded into the kitchen, and gasped. Half the kitchen floor was covered in flour. The cookie jar lay shattered (why was it even open?), and Luna sat by the stove, head cocked sideways, flour all over her muzzle. Max was across the room, staring at me as though I was the intruder.
I thought maybe one of them had started it, and the other joined in. But then I noticed something more telling: paw prints led from the basement stairs (where I store baking supplies) through the kitchen, then up to my bedroom door. As I followed the trail, I found Max with flour smudged paws and Luna dragging a large wooden spoon in mouth. They had pulled the door open and helped themselves to supplies, coordinating like a canine tag team.
Scene 2: The Plot Unfolds
That afternoon, I tried hiding treats in places only a human could reach. But Luna and Max circled me like conspirators. Iād move; one would distract me while the other sneakily grabbed the hidden treat, then retreat behind furniture for the snacking swap. It was that look they exchangedāknowing, mischievousāthat told me: they had planned this.
Later, when I napped on the couch, I woke to find my favorite slippers missing. I could hear muffled laughter in my mind as Max nudged Luna, slipper in his mouth, and she āhelpedā by stealing the other slipper and dropping it somewhere elseājust to confuse me.
Scene 3: The Moment of Surrender
That evening, I plotted my revenge: no more loose treats, careful storage of everything, even locking doors. But Luna and Max had one more move. I came home to find both of them sitting quietly in the yard. Nothing stolen. Nothing obviously weird. Just tails wagging innocently.
I stared, defeated. They looked like angels. Then I saw the evidence: the shoes off the porch, spread out in the flowerbed. The chew toy missing, transformed into stuffing, was under the patio bench. And the trash can lid? On top of the neighborās fence.
