Dog Has Inherited Creampuff's Spacial Relations Issues

Before the dog came to live with us, we went and bought her a cute bed.

This bed was about 3/4 the size of the dog, as it turns out, because I am a doofus and could not accurately remember the size of the dog. Emmy curls up on the bed, but sometimes she likes to sack out sideways and ends up with ham hock legs hanging off one side and her sweet mushy face pressed into the floor. Sure, it's hilarious - but it can't be comfortable.

So a couple of weeks ago, Katr and I went to the pet store to buy the pooch a more size-appropriate bed. As you can see from the relative size of the bed to the duck, this bone bed is much bigger.

The bone was also so fluffy that it stood nearly a foot high; Emmy no likee. So Katr and I put in on the couch and sat our goddess-like behinds on it for a few days to pack it down. Then we lured Emmy Lou onto her new bed with tiny bits of chicken sausage. And eventually she decided that it would be okay to sleep on it.

Good dog.

Today's truffles: (and why can't I take a photo of these that's in focus?? I have the effin' macro setting on and everything!! What's wrong with me??)

Espresso with Amaretto di Saronno * Dark chocolate ganache infused with espresso coffee beans and Amaretto di Saronno, dipped in crystal sugar (The jaunty crystal sugar hat says "I'm not that kind of girl", but the espresso and Amaretto say "Yes, that IS my hand. And you like it there." and then you have no pants on.) 

Crispy Hazelnut * A perennial favourite, dark roasted crispy hazelnut praline and milk chocolate. (The word "crispy" really bothers me. I'll have to elaborate on that later. But the truffle was pretty great.)

That picture of Em is HILARIOUS.

She's such a doofus, eh? Just like her mommy.

Have you considered a side-business writing copy for chocolate companies? I feel I am experiencing the chocolate right along with you. And it's pretty good chocolate.

At first glance, I thought she had inherited a sex toy.

Man, that dog couldn't look any more comfy.

kimananda - Ha ha - you're onto me! That is my secret hope and dream. Sadly, I don't think any chocolatier is ready for a copywriter who uses the word "boobs" in her chocolate descriptions. Prove me wrong, Bernard Callebaut!

syd - Dirty girl.
