Well friends, it's time for a new diary entry from me...Ida Richilieu, dog wonder! I have managed quite a feat over the past little while. I have found a way to help myself to the seemingly endless supply of butter sticks that my humans leave out! It all started over a month ago now, when I was left home ALL MORNING, ALL ALONE (well, except for Shed), and with only a measly dog bone to tide me over until Molly returned from work. Well, I was in the kitchen getting some water, when I spotted it...there, on the counter, left out unprotected, unmolested, all for me...a bright yellow, full stick of delicious Tillamook butter! I wasted no time, jumped up and put my front paws on that high counter, and helped myself to the whole thing. I even licked the butter dish clean as to cover up my tracks. I guess Molly was kinda upset when she found the empty dish--she looked at me with a frown--but she must've not been too mad cause just the next week, when we were over to grandpere and grandmere's house, she left a stick out for me again! And then over the next few days, one again appeared on the table! I must've hit the butter jackpot...I love it so much. And then, just this last weekend, I got the treat of not one helping of butter, but TWO left out on the table. Although the neon butter smushed up in the little bowl definitely DID NOT taste as good as the stick on the plate, it is still all delicious...and all for me! And my humans call ME dim! They're the ones who keep leaving all this butter out for the taking. DUH. I can't wait to find my next butter treat! I'll let you know, dear readers... Meanwhile, here is an ode to butter of my own composition:

Butter

Delicious substance
Yellow, creamy, slick
Sweet slab of fat
Why do they leave you
To grow dusty on the table?
I eat you standing on two paws
My nose just reaches you
The smell is overpowering
And you dissappear like that!
