Life Lessons from a Rottie

After a wonderful meal of curried chicken and a split of Segura, I came home yesterday to a kitchen, hall, and bed covered with garbage. My husband's rottie mix (a born archeologist) decided to excavate the kitchen's trash container. A thorough researcher, she pulled the trash bag out and deposited the contents across a wide swath of surface. The most interesting items she brought back to her lab (read: my bed) to inspect more closely.
Her research had lasting lessons for me as well. Here are my take aways:
1. I should empty the trash before I leave.
2. Sweeping after a full meal including bubbly and too much food is not a good idea (every time you bend down to use the dustpan, you taste a bit of your dinner again)
3. I eat a ton of cherries and pistacios
4. My husband does not recycle as much as he ought.
