Pet Tales: The Line-Up

Time for a special pet-tales edition. There's always a line up in our household. A line-up to get to the water bowl. A line-up to get a treat. And every morning there's a line-up to get teeth brushed. Yes, the entire trio gets their teeth brushed now. Brad said I'd never be able to get a cat to want her teeth brushed. Guess who was wrong about that? Piper gets her teeth brushed every morning and loves it! Brad's still a little surprised! She has her own toothbrush and toothpaste. She patiently waits behind her bros each day for her turn to come.

Okay now moving on to my story....The Line-Up! The other day we had a different kind of a line-up. A mess had occurred and I needed/wanted to know who caused the mess. I ordered all pets to be front and center as I stood next to the mess. I carefully analyzed their behavior as I questioned them. I quickly determined Simon was innocent. As quickly as I determined Simon's innocence. Brad turns to me to ask, "Why did we eliminate him so fast?".  I replied, "That's just not his guilty face."! Cody looked clueless! Not exactly out of the ordinary for Cody to look clueless but he was in total disgust about being questioned over such a mess. Piper kept looking at her brothers, as if she needed help in determining how to act during this interrogation. Of course I have no verified proof but I'm nearly 100% sure the youngest in the house caused the mess.

It was quite funny to watch their reactions as I questioned them. Simon was clearly innocent and giving me the look of "Mom, I didn't do it!". Cody's look was, "Come on you know I'm old enough and far more dignified than to cause a mess like that! Piper's look read, "I hope they look more guilty than me." Yep it was the youngest! No doubt!
