Berry, Berry, Naughty Corgi

My wife Debbie was cutting up some strawberries this morning to go with her breakfast. Gromit had finished his food and was watching her and since one of the berries was a bit mooshie she tossed it in Gromit's dish. He sniffed it a bit, and began licking it. Deb went back to her work, leaving Gromit unwatched...

Gromit, quietly and unseen, picked up the strawberry and carried it out into the living room onto the carpet and began playing with it, biting it, moving it around, and generally having a fine time before devouring it. Sadly, he left behind a trail of strawberry stains everywhere he played. >sigh<. Those would be the dark spots in the photo below.

When Debbie saw what had happened she used our standard admonishment with Gromit when he gets into mischief: "You're such a puppy brain!" Thank goodness we bought a Hoover carpet shampooer a couple of years ago. It's seen a lot of use including about an hour and a half this morning where once again it did a good job of cleaning up the mess.

Holly the wiener dog was completely innocent and merely thought a quick game of squeakie toy fetch would make Debbie happier.

Comment by Gromit, Sparkle, and Doug on May 13, 2010 at 10:00pm: I'm not sure Corgis ever feel too guilty unless they get yelled at and then they are probably only worried about the yelling. Since "puppy brain" is the worst thing we say to Gromit I pretty sure that guilt isn't a big part of his thought processes. As for Holly the wiener dog, she always has a look of perpetual worry on her face. The only thing that changes it to a wiener dog smile is a new squeaky and then after a few minutes she goes back to worrying, most likely that Gromit will steal the squeakie from from her.

Comment by Michelle on May 13, 2010 at 3:00pm: The guilty party does not seem particually upset...hahahahaha.....We have a Hoover carpet cleaner as well. It has also clocked a few hours of use. I am sure the strawberry was yummy......^-^

Comment by Aj on May 13, 2010 at 2:46am: That is so weird! I cut up strawberries to go with my cereal this morning and gave a mushy strawberry to Ein. He took it over to the area where the carpet meets linoleum, licked it a few times, and just rolled around making gargling noises with the strawberry laying a few inches above his head. However, Ein didn't eat it so I gave it to our rabbit. Luckily our carpet is a darker color and it was more toward the linoleum...
What makes me laugh is that I'm picturing our scenarios occurring at the same time :P
I think it's funny how Gromit looks so happy and Holly looks guilty haha.

Comment by Allison Musick on May 13, 2010 at 1:44am: I think he actually looks kinda proud of himself in the pic... :D

Comment by Gromit, Sparkle, and Doug on May 13, 2010 at 12:51am: Nope, the doxie innocent; she's not brave enough to get into actual mischief. Gromit, on the other hand, is all boy and life is just one big adventure to him with little thought to the consequences. He relies with great success on a look of complete innocence when confronted by his sins. Typical Corgi!
