Slater Trashes The Trash

Here's Jay's dog, Slater, giving baby Jack a ride that I don't think Jack is too thrilled about.

Slater was the topic of some recent discussion as Jay relayed the story of how Slater ripped through a trash bag in the Capron kitchen, sending whatever garbage he didn't eat all over the kitchen floor a couple of nights ago.

Jay discovered the mess before work Thursday morning.

A combination of the bag not being tied too tight, and Jay neglecting to take the bag out of their place were contributing factors.

Fortunately, Slater didn't suffer any health issues after ingesting plenty of trash items - even those that may have been on doilies ("adjacent to refuse is refuse").

We also learned this morning that all of Jack's diapers get discared in a different place, so Slater never even came close to stumbling upon one of Jack's, um, diamonds in the rough.

Although, considering the dietary habits of some dogs -- at least some of the ones I've had -- maybe Slater is upset about missing out on that potential delicacy.

That's right, I went there.

Good morning, everybody.
