Maddie continues to get her own way - she's on a diet after everyone started commenting on how chubby she was getting (nothing to do with us, unless you count the fact that it's us who leave the food out vaguely within her reach, which she steals)
I realised after she stole all my big fluffy American pancakes (I had eaten one and a half so she got 4 and a half!!) that we had got complacent as she hasn't stolen any food for quite a while (shoes are another thing entirely but at last she doesn't eat those).
So last week I realised the wee bowl which had been holding a handful of Hershey's Kisses was on the floor - empty. I'm assuming it was her nibs, but I've no proof, it could have been Murphy setting her up. I never found any wrappers and none seemed to pass through either of them so it's a bit of a mystery. As it's "summer" and has been so wet her bush in the garden has grown again so I can't even see under there. Maybe she took them in there, carefully unwrapped them and discarded the wrappers in there.
Who knows?
Since then she has got the bread (half a loaf was discovered later) and when Richard dropped his wee pouch filled with dog treats on a walk, Maddie was the one to find it on the way back. She'd run ahead and when he got it back she'd been trying her best to get into it - it was all covered in slobbers - but to no avail.
Lord knows what will be next, but at least she is looking a bit trimmer so the diet is working despite her best efforts!
