When the Wife's Away

(From the mind of he)

My wonderful and beautiful wife went to see her friend Sunday night and stayed until Monday evening. This seems to never work out well for me. I tend to go on somewhat of a sugar binge. It was no different this time.

Zaba and I had some great bonding time, but sleep and overall health tend to suffer somewhat when the wife's away. One of the main things that happened while she was gone was the pizza incident. I decided to eat some food that was warm, instead of just candy, so I made a pizza. I had a hard time getting the pizza out of the oven and slightly burned two of my fingers. Nothing serious but it didn't feel good. Then to distract the dog while I ate I prepared a peanut butter treat for him. So I was carrying a tray with the pizza, a peanut butter treat, and a towel for Zaba down the hallway. It was at this moment that the dog saw a opportunity and lunged for the peanut butter. The tray teetered and a piece of pizza flew off on to the wall and proceeded to slide down the said wall, sauce side facing the wall. I also was going to enjoy some ranch dressing with my pizza and that hit the wall as well. Fortunately the Zaba was there to help me clean up. I think I did a decent job of cleaning because the only way the wife knew where the event occured was when she saw the dog licking rest of the ranch out of the floor board heater.

She is back now but I had another incident this morning. I believe I may be going through withdrawals and I have the shakes. I was eating cereal this morning and once again the Zaba lunged. I didn't drop the bowl but it did tip slightly and I spilled some milk and cereal on myself and the rug. Once again the Zaba was there to help clean.
