Of course every pet owner has stories to tell, so here are a couple of
Annabelle's.

Sniffed around the backyard garage door all day. We put the door up and
she went to work sniffing. Three days later, she presented us with a
dead rat on the backdoor mat. She was so proud and so were we!

Left a box of donuts on the kitchen table and went shopping. Came back
and the box was empty and she had buried portions of them into the
corners of each chair and couch in the house. Kinda obvious?!

Gave her a valium (vet prescribed) at a big house/pool party since she
snapped at the kids. For 10 hours locked in the den she barked and
barked. After everybody left, we opened the door, she came out, took
one sniff, looked around and then BLAMO she hit the floor. fast asleep!

Made pancakes one morning and we gave her the leftover pancake. She
promptly took it outside and buried it... "her contribution for when
times get rough," we figured.
