Well… just as Roo was about to get his token for being 6 month’s clean of his addiction to sandal consuming, I find THESE in his mealy mouth! Dang! The ones I bought to replace the brown ones he trashed last year! AND later found Ed’s favorites with a Roo-sized bite missing from them! (Needless to say Ed was apoplectic since he buys his legitimately from Dick’s sporting goods!) I guess it’s true that a small taste turns into a binge! Disciplined (and slightly dissed with shame and sarcasm… see Will Ferrell’s dog testing strategy), we dealt Roo his punishment! Perhaps his 6 months clean had more to do with our sandals being inaccessible than his own will power. Now with Summer arriving he is thrown back into the “bar” filled with his addiction! God, be Roo’s “Higher Power” as he battles his urges back under control. And help him to be honest in his confession of wrongs done against us as he asks for forgiveness. “One day at a time, pup. One day at a time.”
