Thought of the day
The exciting - and I might not know the definition of exciting - conclusion of my canine noir (thanks, Bea) masterpiece...
After one week, I still don't have answers, so the case went cold—colder than yesterday’s coffee left on the counter.
I’d hit a wall, and both mutts knew it.
Ms. Frizzle played it cool, eyes soft but steady, like she’d been through tougher interrogations.
Lucy just drooped there, looking guilty enough to go to the slammer, but with nothing solid to pin on her.

No crumbs, no wrappers, no confession—just two wagging tails and an empty Danish container that told me nothing but heartbreak.
So that’s where it stands.
So that’s where it stands.
The Case of the Missing Danish, unsolved.
Maybe it was a crime of opportunity, maybe a frame job, maybe just hunger and bad timing.
Either way, I’ve done all I can. If the truth’s gonna come out, it’ll take someone tougher than me.
Maybe it’s time to call in the big dog—McGruff.
He’s got a nose for this kind of thing.
Until then, the streets—and the kitchen counters—aren’t safe.

Not while the Danish thief walks free.

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.
Oh. So good!
ReplyDeleteCanine Noir, huh? You KNOW they’ll never confirm anything…
And I’ll make sure I prepare an interpretive dance if I ever do a job interview!
XoXo
Looking forward to hearing how the dance comes along.
DeleteI'm guessing a feline detective would have solved it.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right, Ed.
DeleteI forgot all about McGruff the Crime Dog! Get his rump on the case!
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't returned my calls.
DeleteI was gonna say the same thing Ed did. Cats love to get dogs in trouble.
ReplyDeleteCats do like to create mischief.
DeleteOMG that pulp fiction book cover -- PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty sweet.
DeleteIf my dog had eaten a danish I would know immediately because everything that's not his dog food upsets his stomach. You need a pair of pet rats so sniff their breath for the next time this happens. lol
ReplyDeletePet rats you say. Interesting.
DeleteSome mysteries aren't meant to be solved! Mari agrees with the HoMEOWner meme. She owns everything in it too.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeletehoMEOWner is taking on a whole new meaning now ...
ReplyDeleteI thought you might think that.
DeletePersonally, I'd have laid a Danish Trap and kept it under surveillance since pastry thieves will never dessert the scene of the crime.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is out there but I am not sure if I want to know.
DeleteMy husband was a recruiter then in HR - if someone had said the 2nd one he would laugh and say, Okay dance. The stories I could tell you about interviews he's had. More often than not, when the people were so damn bad, he'd tell them why so they wouldn't do it again. He actually got two thank you notes from people he did that to for helping them get jobs. But honestly change your email for job applications. and one person thanked him by notes and flowers because after she changed all he told her she got a job.
ReplyDeleteRick is a pretty awesome dude.
DeleteGreat memes and maybe both dogs are guilty, but dogs never share when it comes to food.
ReplyDeleteLucy definitely doesn't like to share.
DeleteI do have a very detective-type question. Can Lucy reach the counter top? I would be worried about mcGruff. If he takes a bite out of crime, who's to say that he wouldn't take a bite out of your danish?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am pleased you gave up the smokes.
DeleteIt seemed like a good idea! 😀
DeleteLucy can't reach the counter tops but she might have talked her buddy Ms. Frizzle into it.
DeleteAha! An animal conspiracy!
DeleteTeamwork makes the dream work.
DeleteMore applause!! I love the picture to accompany the story. And great memes. That last one though ...
