When the dog eats the pumpkin pies

It couldn't be more clichè...but the dog, it seems, has eaten the pumpkin pies that were cooling on the counter. I got a panicked call from my son on my cell phone shortly after I had left the house. "MOM, the dog jumped up on the counter and has eaten both pies!" I guess the dog, not content to eat the butter left out on the counter, has moved on to more delicatable treats...OUR THANKSGIVING DESSERT! My son came to the rescue though. Feeling partially responsible, seeing as he was babysitting and in charge of curtailing any doggy destructive antics, proceeded to whip up two more pies to replace the ones the dog had devoured. I guess I have a lot to be thankful this Thanksgiving...a dog that makes me laugh and a son that makes me proud.
