Day 5: Accidental art

You’ll notice that I haven’t posted anything for Day 5.

I came home after a long day of working with clients and a really fun evening of bookclub, with some lovely folks, to discover that my sweet dog Ruby had decided to create some “art” of her own.

My creative and curious Beagldor (Beagle + Labrador) had gotten into the bathroom. She made use of the tools and supplies available to her:

• toilet paper,
• plastic bags,
• q-tips,
• cotton balls, and
• whatever else was fun sounding (crunchy).

She then made a grouping of three piles slightly connected that started in the bathroom, trailed out into the hallway, and into the kitchen.

I was so surprised by her “art” that I just didn’t have it in me to be mad that she had decided to use the floor, not the table, and she had left it for me to clean it up see. Plus it was way too late to reprimand her and tell her this was against the rules. She had already done it.

So instead, I just sighed, let her out to the backyard, cleaned up the “art” and went to bed.

Ruby, my happy artist

More art tomorrow, when I don’t have to clean up after her…

For now, my art is the photograph and proof – dogs do smile. At least mine does. 🙂
