Boring dog post #249

[constance]

Tonight I made myself a chicken salad sandwich for dinner, and forgot to put the bread away when I took my plate to my desk, and this omission meant that two bites after I sat down, Leory came trotting happily into the study with the bread bag in his mouth. And I fussed and took the bread away, brought it back to the kitchen, and came back to my desk to realize that he'd taken advantage of my abandonment of the aforementioned sandwich by stealing the top piece of bread. And it was then that I realized that the loaf of bread was likely just a diversionary tactic, and I relearned a lesson I learned long ago as a nanny, which is that it is hard work trying to reprove when what you really want to do is giggle.

People of livejournal: I have been had. By a dog.

hi, you! you sent a snape postcard to oakland, yeah? (am trying to make sure. there are two lj names on here with v. different userinfos and it's very confusing for a girl to say thank you properly)

I did, I did! I take it that it arrived safely??

(And both ljs are me -- I included both because even though this is the one I update most now, it's essentially non-fandom.)

arrived safely! and gosh, if there was someone out there who would appreciate the thought and work and lovely bizarreness of that postcard, it'd be me. there's a word for that but my brain's fried right now, so, thanks so so much!
