just saw the dog grab the new plant the mrs put in the garden pond less than an hour ago.
by the time i got out there the dog had eaten it!
mrs special ordered the thing and paid 8 bucks for it!
she's gonna be pizzed whe she see's it's gone!
should I rat out the loyal (to me) dog? or just pretend I know nothing about it?
thanks

    I think I would make the effort to protect "mans best friend!"

    I think I would lie and say I saw one of the neighbors that I did not like, that she did like, take the plant.[:D] Stir the pot a little, don't get many of those opportunities often.

    some kinda water lilly plant (?)
    she had 'em last year but they didn't survive the winter (it's a small pond and it froze solid)
    just don't know if I can act surprized and keep a straight face!

    Great!!! Leave the $50.00 under the door mat in a yellow envelope marked "politcal literature". I will take $50.00 worth of Magnesium. I am looking at moving my wifes washing machine next week...during a storm, and figured I could put the Magnesium inside to weigh it down while in the back of my pickup.

    I doubt she would buy the raccoon story. we've never had one come that close to the house before.
    she might believe a possum took it. she hates them things!

    Just order another plant, fess up and show her you have taken the necessary steps to have it replaced and "protected"...in other words, build a really nice fence around her garden and replace what the dog has destroyed...

    Big points in your favor with her...

    Order another plant......and don't tell her until AFTER the other one gets here. When you hand her the replacement plant you can say something like "see if you can find a way so that he doesn't EAT this one."

    Play dumb. Pretend she never planted anything. Just look at her funny and turn your head from side to side as if you know she is speaking, but you can't understand a word she is saying.

    Tell her the dog ate it. What is she gonna do to the dog? Nothin...right? If you lie she'll know you're lying and you end up being the target of her wrath.

    Oh...and yes... buy her that new plant. [:)]

    Order her another one,its only 8 bucks. I would never lie to my wife.
    If she would hurt your dog over that, she never liked him anyway.[;)]

    Run to the store and buy a head of cabbage. Chop it up and toss it in the pond. She'll never know the difference.

    Well, ya know, those dang armadillos are making their way North out of Texas (must be the global warming thing) and they are REALLY fast in the water (shell sorta streamlines them, lets them get up on plane) and they REALLY love those water plants, like lilies.....
    [:p]
    Hey- the pup would cover for you, right?

    Tom:

    My theory on being a good husband. Incompetence. Total utter incompetence.

    Solution: Tell the wife, and fashion a leash for the dog, (out of ground sirloin.) Buy a replacement plant, but get the wrong one. Build a fence around the garden, out of cardboard. Then mow the yard, and somehow have the mower end up in her pond.

    She will never ask you to do anything around the house again, and your stupidity will totally eclipse any shortcomings the dog may have.

    Believe it or not, this actually works.
