Chocolate cake, Caval-ears, and Scientific discovery....
We�ve known for years, we women, that chocolate is a source of things both
wondrous and disastrous. It tastes wonderful (duh!), but it does quite
dastardly things to our here-to-fore svelte and sleek bodies. There is
something in the chemical make-up of chocolate that causes it to cement itself
onto our thighs and chins (the latter oft-times referred to as �wattles� after
years of being subjected to the ruinous hazards of the nasty chocolate), and is
rumoured to cause acne in the teenaged women that are just starting their life-
long relationship with the dark treat. Chocolate is a prime suspect in the
phenomenon of that rush of energy; we hear some blather about caffeine or
sugar. I�m sure we�re in agreement: we have a love-hate relationship with that
entire food group...
I�ve discovered a new situation that can be wholly blamed on chocolate... oh,
big sigh. Darn Kyle for doing it: there was an unattended, large, piece of
gooey, tasty, sinfully delicious chocolate cake on a plate, on his bedroom
floor. It didn�t take long for Jasmine and Tilly to discover and devour the
thing. All the while, I�m sure, the girls were thinking that they were protecting
Kyle from the evils of chocolate; aren�t they the loving and concerned ladies?
I discovered happenings of this free-for-all only moments before I was
heading out the door for an appointment; so I stuffed the furry culprits, errrr,
the furry protectors into my bedroom, and shut the door.
Hours later, when I returned, I made my discovery! The chocolate (which
HAD been glopped generously on the ends of the furry ears) had, acid-like,
EATEN AWAY the ends of the ears! There were small, but noticeable, chunks
of hair missing from both girls, and both ears. I was shocked and dismayed,
and worried about the rest of the dogs disappearing before my eyes - since it
had been less than two hours for several centimeters of ear fringes to have
mysteriously vanished. At that rate I could lose the entire dog in a day or two!
Oh, the worry of it all. And since I cannot trim these girls, they might be forced
to show their ragged faces in public, humiliated knowing that *everyone*
would know that the evil chocolate had caused their beautiful ears to take on
that nasty moth-eaten appearance. Oh, what�s a mum to do?? A thorough
washing of the ears might put a halt to the corrosion of the feathering, but I do
worry about it continuing. So far the progression of the decay seems to have
halted, maybe I stopped it in time to save the rest of those beautiful ears. I just
don�t know what to think. As if having these hooligans wasn�t enough cause
for worry, now we have to suspect chocolate for doing nasty things.
Hmmm, unless of course, they�ve been chewing on each other�s ears?
Nahhhhh... Definitely chocolate.
