While I was out writing at an air-conditioned Starbucks, Lauren and the kids went to the lake to be with her sister and nephews. Annie, who apparently had not been sufficiently fed &#8211; or perhaps entertained &#8211; still needed her snacks. A girl&#8217;s got to eat after all.<\/p>\n<p>Being at war with a hyperactive 100 pound juvenile ferret makes us do things that other people might find odd. For example whenever Lauren leaves the house, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gad.net\/Blog\/2009\/08\/17\/annie-and-the-shower-trash\/\" target=\"_blank\">puts the kitchen trash can in the bathroom<\/a>, and the fruit bowl in the microwave. That may seem strange in your house, but I assure you that it is quite normal in our little corner of the Newfy asylum.<\/p>\n<p>Upon Lauren&#8217;s return from the lake, she discovered Guinness happily munching on a peach pit. <em>What the Hell? But the fruit bowl is&#8230; <\/em>empty on the counter. It didn&#8217;t even look like it had been moved.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re still unsure about Guinness&#8217; role in all of this. He was found with a peach pit, so he is at least an accessory to fruit theft, but it&#8217;s possible that he simply found it when everyone came upstairs. I think we might need to set up the old Newf-Cam again.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s score from the monochromatic bandit was five apples and a peach. There were no remains to be identified from the apple family. The peach pit was given a proper burial&#8230; in the bathroom where the kitchen trash remains.<\/p>\n<p>GAD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annie, unable to get into the cabinet since I welded it shut (with a plastic child-lock), decided to hunt elsewhere for snacks today.
