What is she staring at?
I knew it had to be good, because she wasn’t breaking eye contact.
Oh! I see what got her attention:
You see, I have allergies. I can’t smell anything.
My dog, on the other hand, smells everything.
She is my olfactory guide.
Today, she found popcorn.
I tiptoed over to the bag, because there were kids around.
If kids see the popcorn, there won’t be any left for me.
Or the dog.
Imagine my surprise when I reached inside and…
Nothin’.
This is precisely why you should never show your tween how to use the microwave.
Learn from my mistakes, my friends.

These stories are the highlight of my day. Except when you make me want a puppy. Okay…even then.
Your dog is gorgeous. She looks so sweet and calm. Not a total spaz like mine. But I love her more than life anyway.

Good morning! Now that you have successfully taught her to use the microwave, you can now teach her to use the garbage can! Have a great day!

My nose has never worked quite right. Seriously, I can stand right next to an oven and let something burn. Lucky you to have one smart dog!

I love how there is only one unpopped kernel left.
That’s funny that your tween didn’t give you some! Interesting that your dog led you to it.

I love your dog. She is just the cutest thing ever. My cat absolutely loves popcorn! He goes freakin’ crazy every time I make some and would it until he was sick if I let him. He thinks he’s a dog:)

Now? You just have to teach them to wash clothes with the same enthusiasm…….

Your dog is a cutie. Makes me want one. And I must say that someone did an exceptional job of cleaning out that popcorn bag.
It’s amazing how a dog can even hear a piece of popcorn hit the kitchen floor when they are upstairs in my house! And I recognize that stare………..I get it the whole time I’m eating my popcorn! And then my dog becomes my personal vacuum cleaner……she’ll come up on my lap and clean up anything I have dropped!

Maybe next time you might teach the tween how to use the trash can.
