A photo essay in which we re-create the mess we found when we got home from dinner last night using dangerous household objects that accurately convey the horror of what we saw.

2 chris { 03.09.08 at 4:24 pm }: zz seems fine with it. Proud, even.
3 melissa lion { 03.09.08 at 4:33 pm }: I like how she’s got her eyebrow raised in the last picture. Wait, ZZ is a girl right? I’m sorry, I can never tell. You dress her in pink so we all know, right?
4 kiala { 03.09.08 at 4:46 pm }: She is a girl but I don’t dress her in pink. I do that to Arthur.
5 kristen { 03.09.08 at 5:11 pm }: Bwahahahahahaha!
6 Arielle { 03.09.08 at 7:36 pm }: Is ZZ a golden? We had one when I was growing up and I totally remember coming home to similar messes. Except it would usually be decorated with feathers from a pillow (or some equivalent) too.
7 kiala { 03.09.08 at 7:43 pm }: Arielle-

Yes! She’s a golden/chow and what she actually got into was a bag of garbage which included, but was not limited to, old chinese food, pho, kitty pee, kitty poop, kitty litter, broccoli, and leftover nachos.

it’s fun to mop the floors at eleven pm on a Saturday night.

9 Aimee H. { 03.09.08 at 9:47 pm }: oh joy… man, even though this photo essay evokes the horror, my guess is that it didn’t come close! yikes! why do pets do that to us?? lull us into submission and then rip open bags of garbage when the door is closed. it’s like they KNOW we’ll forgive them… in a few weeks.
10 Becky { 03.10.08 at 9:35 am }: A couple weeks ago my dog ate 4 dozen cookies(yea, they were chocolate chip) and the trash….and then peed all over the floor….he is no longer with us.

Kidding!
11 mickey { 03.10.08 at 10:40 am }: Tell me she didn’t get into the ether.
ZZ just wants to party.
12 Megan { 03.10.08 at 4:13 pm }: I’ll have my dogs tell her how it’s done. 10 lb bag of sugar, sprinkled liberally across the kitchen, then peed on. Flour worked OK too, but that was too easy to clean up.
And then she can jump all over you when you go to clean it up.
13 Ashley { 03.11.08 at 9:17 am }: hahahahahah. that’s awesome.
