Poor, poor Sugar (the dog)! T. was headed out of the house to do his home teaching. I,being the wonderful wife that I am, was kissing him goodbye; when all of a sudden we heard dishes clanging. Thinking it was the kids dropping plates while doing dishes, didn't think much of it until the clanging noise didn't stop and I looked in the kitchen to see what was going on. To my surprise and Sugar's horror, she had the bottom dishwasher rack attached to her collar! She was scrambling, trying to get away from the chaos. Little did she know that it was her and no amount of running would get her away from it! Dishes were falling all over the floor, silverware were flying arrows of sorts ready to stick anywhere and everywhere, food was tiny bombs of lasagna hitting and splattering wherever they landed, and the kids were screaming for Sugar to stop! (I really wish I had taken pics or video because it was quite amazing!) Sugar ran right towards me and I was able to hold her and remove the attached "boobi-trap"! After cleaning up dishes, silverware and food off the floor, I realized Sugar, the all too helpful dog, was trying to do help the kids rinse the plates by using her tongue and somehow hooked the tiny little side bar onto tag holder of her collar! Sad to say, all I could do was laugh. Poor little girl, she was frightened out of her skin when it was all done and said. Don't worry pet lovers and animal rights peeps, we gave her lots of love and treats to calm her nerves. I just can't seem to erase the scene! Sugar's face, the kitchen floor being scattered with plates, utensils and food and the look on my poor dogs face as she runs trying to get away from it all! She has issues with loud noises as it is, and I don't think this helps! I tell her that she is a disgrace to the canine breed for being the biggest "scaredy cat" alive! But I love her and always will! Someday her love for food will not keep her away from licking the dishes again, probably more cautiously than before but there is hope!
