That is, aside from the inevitable noxious fumes that will soon be emanating from the south end of a certain yellow trash-picker named Champ?
I was watching Dirty Jobs, Buddy was on his bed in the living room, and I thought Champ was in the computer room with Bill. All of a sudden, Buddy jumped up and went into his crate, then sat there looking into the dining room. I got up and snuck around the corner and there's Champ, chowing down on the leftover cabbage in the trash can.
I yelled at Champ and put him in his crate. I then called Buddy out of his and told him he wasn't in trouble.
Last weekend, after I made soup with the turkey carcass, I tossed the bones in the trash. Then Bill and I were in the garage for a few minutes. When I walked back in the house, the lid was off the trash and some of the bones were gone. I caught Champ in the act and got a leg bone from him, but Buddy was in the corner looking at me like "It wasn't me, Mom, honest!" I had no way of knowing if Buddy had partaken of the booty or not, so I crated them both and kept a close eye on both of them. Thank God, the turkey carcass had been boiled until the bones were softened up.
But - Budddy learned from that and when he saw Champ go in the trash tonight, he was taking no chances on getting in trouble for his brother's screw-up!
