I was cooking a new recipe, a turkey/sweet potato/chili soup, and had peppers laid out, chopped up, ready to go. I locked the dogs outside while I checked my email, and when I returned, the door was open and most of the peppers gone. My husband had let them in, not noticing food on the counter. The result: $175 worth of stomach pumping. It turned out to be an expensive soup. Only the male and eaten them, but we didn't know that, so off to the vet they went, to return later guilty but innocent. After all, labs are canine goats. So we had a lot of excitement around here, and incidentally, the soup was delicious. It's ironic, because I had been so careful to wash my hands again and again, not touch my face or eyes, not get any seeds anywhere. But those sneaky dogs outwitted me.
So no dinner for the dogs. They seem fine today. I'm off to my Buddhist study group, and then maybe some shopping. It is another beautifully sunny day, and I hope to take a nice walk this afternoon.
