Maple the ATM

Maple, our almost ten year old rescue Newf< is a paper, cardboard, mud, and stick eater. She has also been known to destroy my jacket pockets in search of sugarfree gum (luckily she's a lardbutt so she's had no ill effects), carmex, and, well, my wallet. I came downstairs saturday morning to find my wallet open on the floor. Knowing there HAD been money in there I sighed knowing what was coming. She did this once when we first got her... I *think* it was $7 but didn't check. This time I was pretty sure I had about $100 as it was the weekend. My husband wonders aloud whether me or Maple will learn their lesson first. His guess is it'll be Maple.

I was walking both pooches sunday and she pooped. It was quite easy to see she had some twenties in there. Since I *always* pick up after them I did and walked them home (happy that she didn't attack the loose Jack Russell that came up to us... I tied my dogs to a stopsign and brought the munchkin escape artist to her house). Needless to say I was able to reclaim $46 after going through the pile with gloves on.

We've also had problems with one of them having accidents in the house this week. I figured it was Maple, but the proof was in the, er, pudding today as i found another $21 waiting for me in this morning's pile. Sigh.

When we were kids (four boys) we used to fight over who got to check the coin return on the pay phone; little did we know we should have been fighting over the piles of poop!

She just wanted to help you save for a rainy day! If it wasn't in your wallet, you couldn't spend it! Too funny!

Apparently Maple charged you some serious interest for "holding" your money for you! A 67% return for a couple days is pretty steep! I can only imagine if you borrowed money from her! I think within a day and a half she'd be threatening to break your legs! ;)

Happened to us once too. I made my husband "reclaim" it. Very funny when it happens to someone else, though! :neener:
