The backstory:
My dogs eat crap they’re not supposed to eat. For a semi-complete listing, click here. Despite our best efforts to keep them away from things like thumbtacks and nail polish, we have a house full of teen girls plus an 11-year-old boy, and the only times our Puggles exhibit any kind of extreme intelligence is when they’re on a mission to eat something bad for them.
This means that sometimes they get chocolate.
Now, before you cart me off to the animal cops, know that these dogs, who can’t be counted upon to catch a piece of meat dropped directly over their heads, are capable of scaling seven feet of vertical wall, creating diversions, and opening zippers (despite their complete absence of thumbs) in order to get contraband that they’ve set their walnut-sized brains on. It’s not like we’re giving chocolate to them on purpose, or that we’re leaving it about the house willy-nilly; it’s that they’re ninjas.
A couple weeks ago Jack got some chocolate. Just part of a Hershey Bar. The doggie equivalent of an 8-ball. He commenced running about the house like he had some really urgent business to attend to and needed to tell us all about it. This went on for a while, and #4 took this picture.
It’s a crappy picture because she has a crappy, non-smart phone. Yes, I’m that parent. Get a job and when you’re 18 you can get your own cell phone contract, and THEN you can buy your own iPhone. Awesome, right?
But no matter how crappy the picture is, it never fails to render me speechless with laughter every time I look at it.
Enter your caption in the comments section below and I’ll pick a winner. The winner will receive something inexpensive but fabulous, most likely a chocolate bar. Probably something a little more exciting than a Hershey Bar, unless that’s your favorite. Contest open until 11:59pm on Thursday, October 31- Halloween!

Come on, man. Just a square. I just need one more square to get by. Can’t you spare a square? I NEED A SQUARE OF CHOCOLATE!!!
“Let me fix your hair.” or “Give me more chocolate or I WILL cut you.”
The prize won’t be the leftover chocolate that Jack didn’t eat, will it? Who am I kidding? I’ll still eat it.
I will be different chocolate. I already ate the leftovers.
“Okay! Don’t panic, but I think the earth is spinning too fast! We have to hang on to each other in case we get thrown off!”
“Seriously? THE Lassie is coming here for dinner??”
First one to blink has to take the winner for a walk! Ready, GO!

I totally forgot to tell you: you won. Dead grandma reference and all. Email me for your prize!
I would like to thank the academy…
I so forgot about this that I don’t even remember writing the caption!
how about: “No fat cats here!”?
“Duude, seriously. No, but I mean, Seriously! There’s a huge spider on your head. Don’t move.”
They’re Here! Homeland Chocolate Security Unit! Okay, Okay! I stole the chocolate. I know, I lied and said the wide-eyed, I’m on crack look was genetic. Hurry, we can still escape out the back …
