Well played, starbucks.

So as I awoke from my morning nap I remembered that Didi had not been fed yet. I go to feed her and find myself scraping the bottom of her food-container. Yippees.
On my way to Petco, with Didi in co-pilot position, I stop at Starbucks for a tea. This is a drive through starbucks so all the Barristas came to lean out the window and go, "Aaaaww... puppy!". Didi sat in her co-pilot seat and regarded them with a silent dignity. This silent dignity flew out the window when one of the girls handed me a small cup on whipped cream for the puppy. I thought, "Hey, it's not so much. It couldn't hurt." and put it in the cup holder closest to Didi so that she could indulge. She covereed herself from nose to eyelids in it promptly, while I got my tea.
I tidied her up before going into Petco. Now, evidently whipped cream goes through a corgi at lightening speed, because before we got to the store's doors, Didi had a juicy bout of diarrhea, which is when I realized "Hey, whipped cream is milk fat and sugar". Premium dog-lube, good for cleaning out the engine. We made 3 clean-up stops in the store. It was wicked awesome.
The moral of the story is, Didi shouldn't trust what I give her and I shouldn't trust gifts from strange women.
The End.

We could barely get the order out. He would carry on and stick his head out of the window until he got his treats. But once the scare about dog food and treats happened Starbucks no longer give dog treats. Le-Le will not take treats from strangers but whipped cream would probably interest her. Will keep in mind the consequence...

I told her not to give the corgi the icing or she would be sorry. Some people know more than others
so she gave it to her anyway.
Most of us stay in our horse trailers with living quarters which some are small and confined like hers.
During the night she started smelling something really bad so she got up with only a night light on and stepped in a warm surprise.
I told you so I told her the next morning.

Comment by Avyon on August 25, 2008 at 6:44pm: Im so sorry but I laughed so hard reading this. Mostly because my friend took her Corgi to a meetup in Maryland last Sat.. stopped at a doggy cafe for food and they gave her pup loads of bacon.... causing the rest of the car drive to be a smelly one.. >_br />
Im sorry to hear about it at the same time... and that it didnt last tooo long.
