4 year old puppy

some puppies never grow up. our youngest yellow lab roxy will most likely always be a puppy. she started out as a lap dog. if E or i would sit on the floor, she would curl up in our lap and demand attention. she is now 4, and still sits in our laps and demands attention. she still wiggles uncontrollably when she has a ball or sock in her mouth and she still gets into things she shouldn't.

i came home from cooking for a client today, dropped my bags, grabbed a quick lunch, and rushed off to my training session. upon return from the gym, this is what i found:

what is that?? i wondered out loud.

upon further inspection:

 i realized it was once a bag of flour. apparently, i left my cooking bag a hair open and a certain snoopy dog decided to have a look-see. hmmm, was it dignan or roxy? not a tough question:

her white whiskers and paws gave her away (as if i didn't already know who did it). good thing she's cute!

after the flour clean-up i had a recovery smoothie. a strawberry-vanilla protein shake which, i swear, tasted like a strawberry milkshake.
