Perks of Dog Ownership # 3

This morning, the Middle Child, exhausted and sleep-deprived, let slip through her fingers a container of milk.  It hit the floor with a thud, splashing milk half-way across the kitchen.

Before we could even say, "Oh no!", Our Best Friend was in there, cleaning the floor of every last drop.  A paper towel or two picked up what he missed.  The floor wasn't even sticky.

There's a lot less floor-washing to be done when you've got a dog on mess duty.  But it's a good thing it wasn't chocolate milk.

My daughter, who is a bit of a chicken, just ran screaming from a moth.  Our dog came rushing to her rescue, and ate the killer moth.  The world is once again safe for humanity, thanks to Man's Best Friend.
