does this look like the face of a thief?

Okay, before I get started on my diatribe I must fess up: I contributed to the delinquency of a canine. Now here goes... This is Blanche. Blanche has been a bad girl.

I was lazy Sunday night and ordered pizza and wings for our supper. I must have made a mistake when selecting the crust for my cheese pizza because when it arrived, it was whole wheat crust. Now if I'm going to eat junk, I usually go whole hog, so the wheat crust wasn't doing much for me. I ordered the wings for Bill and wasn't really in the mood to eat any of them, so I ate a few slices of the pizza, but there was over half of it left over. Since I didn't care for it, I left it in the box and put it in a paper shopping bag by the trash.

Now fast forward to the day after. I had to run an errand and since it wasn't going to take more than 30 minutes, I decide to leave Blanche and Stella out of their crates. They looked so peaceful sleeping on their little blankets. Well, they didn't stay peaceful for long.

When I returned from my errand, I noticed that the pizza box had been removed from the shopping bag; it was in the middle of the kitchen floor. Well when I lifted the lid, I wasn't too surprised to find there was no pizza in it. Now normally I would find that Stella is the culprit, but when I looked on the couch, she had a quasi guilty look but no evidence of having been to the pizza buffet. When I look across the living room, I find Blanche wrapped in a blanket surrounded by mounds of whole wheat pizza crust and crumbs, sans cheese topping. I felt of her tummy and it was "loaded" to maximum capacity. She had to have been miserable. I began picking up the uneaten bits of crust and took them to the trash, but when I came back to the living room, she was crossing from the other side of the living room with more crust. She had actually buried/hid some for a snack later.

After taking away her cache, I took them for a walk where she promptly began the process of ridding herself of over half of a large cheese pizza with whole wheat crust. Needless to say, the pups went to bed that night without any supper.
