Well, long story shortened, in opposition to my admonition toward my daughter's decorating scheme of leaving holiday candy out on the coffee table, the dog became bored and got to her candy stash. It was about a dozen and some candy pieces that the dog ate.
Pupper made a huge mess, ate a mountain of candy leaving all the wrappers everywhere and then threw up half of it in multiple places all over the "light colored" carpet, then sat sulking as if HE was the one who was misused.
He was a Bad Boy! I did not kill him. But I made him walk through his mess while telling him, NO! the whole way.
Doubt he'll do that again, but hopefully my daughter learned to listen to her father about some of these silly things.
Yeah, RIGHT!
So I administered a cleaning party.
