Back to the Future

Today Charlie was eating something and wisely climbed under our kitchen table to hide from me. Of course, we always know when he has something he shouldn't because he looks guiltier than a high school student texting in class. Plus he immediately runs and hides. Way to be slick Charlie!

Today, as I climbed under the table to retrieve what he had found, I was shocked to find a movie ticket. Now yes, we see lots of movies, so it's not that unbelievable for him to find his way to a movie ticket. But what was odd, was that it was to The Saint. This ticket was to the Star Rochester back on May 2nd, 1997. This was my sophomore year in high school. Where in the world did he find this movie ticket? How did this ticket stay with me so long?

My only guess was that recently he was near my HTML 4 book that I have laying around. Yes, that's how cool I am, I have a HUGE book on HTML that I bought in high school. We actually pulled it off the book shelf because we are going to recycle it. I'm guessing that I was using this movie ticket as some sort of bookmark, but I'll never know. Only Charlie will know where that ticket came from and how it came to be in his tight grip of his jaw.

I also just had to venture into the kitchen because Charlie was barking ferociously and came to find me to show me what he had done. He loves to attack his water dish. I'll never know what kind of evil things it must do to him when we aren't looking. He splashed it all over the kitchen and then pulled it into the carpeted hallway. This was when he decided to bark and bark at it, showing that water dish who the boss truly is.

I sometimes think that the only reason he splashes his water everywhere is to play with the towel that inevitably comes to clean it up. His favorite game is to attack the towel as soon as we try to soak up the ocean that has become our kitchen floor. I held him back best I could, while getting my wrist chewed on, and cleaned it up. Our kitchen towels are getting much more use in the last month.
