I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m a huge fan of carbs. Any kind. Pasta, rice, chips, bread. I really love bread, especially the little rolls that come with the Italian food the human sometimes orders. Those are the best. Hmm…

Maybe not the best. Doughnuts are pretty great as well. The human once bought a doughnut with sprinkles at a cafe and put it in her purse to eat when she got to work. Well she forgot about it and it was still in her bag when she came home that night. Now that evening, I’d been smelling this intriguing aroma all evening and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. After the human went to bed I went in search of it and found the doughnut. After ripping off the saran wrap cover I devoured it. I’d never had anything so tasty. After eating it, I slipped into the biggest food coma ever. When the human woke up she had a fit. Something about the doughnut bits all over the floor and about how the chocolate in the sprinkles was bad for me. That’s when I told her that I didn’t eat any of those. I didn’t like the way they tasted and I just ate around them. She seemed a little less annoyed then. She still said that I should at least have tried to be a little neater eating the doughtnut. I told her I’d try. Doughnuts are great.

After that experience, I made a habit of checking her bag every night. You never know what you’re going to find in there. Some nights I strike out and then some nights I find a bag of chips. One night I even found a bag of with pieces of chicken breast! She had put the leftovers for a meal in her bag to bring home and forgot they were in there. That was such a great find, I shared it with Gabriel and Genevieve.

But lately, she’s been checking her bag when she gets home and takes out anything I might want. It’s been slim pickin’s lately. That was until last night. I smelled something coming from the bag and set about investigating. I opened up the bag and nosed around until I found a bag of Chex Mix. Score! I was dragging if off to a corner when the human spotted me and grabbed the bag back. She really can be a killjoy sometimes.

But then there are times when she’s really great and she eating something like a bagel and puts a small piece besides her for me. Then she just lets me find it. She doesn’t call me over and point out that she gave me some extra food. That would make Gabriel and Genevieve jealous. But she’ll put it in a place only I’d think to look. One time she gave me half a slice of bread.

Thinking about that, I guess she’s not so bad. I just wish she had let me have that bag of Chex Mix. I love that stuff.
