the best day of their lives? possibly.

During the burglary, the dogs were fed a two-month supply of dog treats. Jeremy thinks it was the best day of their lives.

Possibly. But according to a neighbour two doors down who heard them barking (and also brought me flowers today), it was most definitely not like anything she's heard from them before. Crazy sounding. She didn't even think it was them at the time. Plus Kai especially has been on high alert all week. So they ate because they are Beagles, but I don't think they enjoyed it one bit.

Now for a little CSI... After looking at her Warehouse receipt, the neighbour knows she heard the symphony of growls shortly after 1. My library receipt is marked 1:09. I opened the garage door 4-5 minutes later. So now I know for a fact that the reason they turned on the oven fan was to drown out their footsteps as they left out the back. Which to me points toward experienced and quick-thinking thieves. I am obviously so thankful I had to get out of the car to move the recycling bin before driving into the garage. And also that Q dawdled, us usual.

This home invasion ranks right up there in the peculiarity department. It has been driving me crazy trying to piece it together and get inside their heads (or his/her head). I will leave you guessing for a bit as to what three things they stole... I think I could confidently offer a million dollar prize to anyone who got it right!
