Stealing Food

Chloe is a squirt. She's just a little 13" beagle. But I am a big boy. I am a 15" beagle. Well, actually Mom & Dad suspect that I am mixed with something else, perhaps a fox hound, because I am bigger than most 15" beagles and have a few different things about me. Anyway, because I am a big boy I can really stretch out. But when Mom & Dad are around I act like I am a little boy. When there is food in the kitchen I just barely stand up like I am trying really hard to smell all the good food but just can't reach it. But if they aren't looking I can't resist the temptation and sometimes I steal food. Last night Mom made some corn on the cob for dinner. It smelled so good. So being as quiet as I could I stole a half of an ear of corn that was on a plate on the counter. Mom noticed that it was gone, but she just thought Dad had eaten it. Dad likes corn on the cob.

When Mom was getting ready to go to bed she noticed Chloe standing between the love seat and the table in the living room and she wondered what Chloe was doing. Chloe was sniffing at a half-eaten ear of corn. Mom picked it up and threw it away. I think I need to find a better hiding place for my treasures.
