This candy bowl was full on Monday night. It probably held 50 to 60 mini candy bars including kit kats, peppermint pattys, snickers and twix.
On Wednesday morning it was EMPTY!
Not a wrapper or crumb in sight.
The investigator in me questioned Jim and Grace. Both denied eating all the candy in a 36 hour period. (I had to believe them because they would have been sick!)
That left 3 other culprits: the Weener, the Grandma and the Super Star!
The Weener was quickly ruled out because she would have already been dead if she ate that much chocolate!
That left Daisy and Hops.
My money was on Hops because:
1. Daisy has not touched the candy bowl in all her 14 years.
2. Daisy eats like an old lady so if she had gotten into them, there would have been crumbs all over her chin!
3. Daisy would have been sick and sluggish.
But there was doubt because Hops had never gotten into anything before and did not look bloated and did not act sick. In fact, she was probably more wound up than normal.
Jim started thinking someone came into the house and stole only the candy.....even though electronics and G's camera were out in clear sight.
So he started checking all the video camera footage. That was a hoot on its own. We watched all of us coming and going all day! But the funniest part was watching Hops do laps around the backyard in the middle of day like her butt was on fire.....too much sugar?
As I suspected, there was no candy burglar caught on video!
The mystery seems to have been solved this morning when on a walk I picked up a poop with candy wrappers in it! And then later there was a giant barf filled with wrappers!
The culprit.....Hops!!!
