the blob in the background

Ok guys, that was NOT dog poo or dog barf in the background there in yesterday's photo.

(Riley, reprise)

That splotch you see on the floor there is actually a DOG COOKIE.


I think maybe it's the cookie shaped like a squirrel ;-)

Now you may wonder how a person would ever be able to get a photograph of a dog cookie just laying there next to a dog. Most dogs (at least every dog I have ever been around--besides this one), you give them a cookie, they scarf it down.

Not Riley.
Riley does something we here at the CasaDeAmpuTeeHee fondly call "CookieManangement." Dang, I should trademark that. "CookieManagement(tm)."

Anyhow.
Riley spends ALL. DAY. LONG.

• Licking the cookie.
• Burying the cookie in piles of throw pillows.
  
• Hiding the cookie in his dog bed.
• Hiding the cookie underneath chew toys.
  
• Moving the cookie to a new hiding place anytime he hears a dog bark outside.
• Moving the cookie to a new hiding place anytime he hears a dog bark on television.
• Moving the cookie to a new hiding place anytime he or sees anything on the the television resembling a four-legged anything (he sometimes even hides the cookie from ladies on the television with big hair).
• Taking the cookie outside and laying it the sun.
• Bringing the cookie back inside.
  
• Moving the cookie from place to place to place for no apparent reason.
• Making sure the kittehs do not get too close to the cookie.
  
• Leaving the cookie in the middle of the hallway where I am certain to roll over it in my wheelchair, dividing it into two pieces thereby making it a REAL dilemma for him to manage.

Never on that list though has been leaving the cookie in plain view and peering out from behind the wall at me with a guilty look on his face. I have no idea what this means (speak, Riley! speak!).

CookieManagement(tm) is a day-long ordeal. At some point during the day the cookie is eaten. Sometimes I see it happen, sometimes I don't.
