This article is a cautionary tale they might look cute, they might look adorable, they might look like butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths but oh, they have a dark side.
It’s June 22nd, 2004. The sun was shining. It was a beautiful day.
Of course being Australian sometimes the call of the BBQ get’s too much and I just gotta scratch that itch so I got a rib eye steak out of the freezer at lunch time to defrost for that night.
Here’s a picture of one, it’s not the real one for reasons that will become evident.
It then took the dogs for a walk and when I got back the Steak had defrosted enough to put into the Fridge. Oooooh that was gonna be a cracker.
I had a lovey bottle of Red in my rack, and some greens in the fridge and a Chimichurri I’d made the day before.
What more could a fella want.
At around 4pm I decided to take the Steak out the fridge to bring it to room temperature. I had my seasonings out ready to go. In that time I decided to pop up stairs and so a little work.
Poppy was in my office asleep.
And perhaps it was ignorance or naivety on my part but I didn’t even notice the little monster was no where to be seen…
Sure enough I came down about half an hour later and I thought my eyes were deceiving me.
The volcanic rock tray I had the Steak sitting on was on my counter, empty, with barely juices left as evidence for the marvel that was there before.
I’ll be honest, my mind didn’t comprehend it at first. Had I forgotten to take it out, but then how could I remember taking it out, I am sure I could remember, open the fridge in case just open the fridge it has to be in there.
Then it hit me.
I grabbed the tray, called Issy out and she slowly walked in with here ears tucked back… looking very sheepish.
I couldn’t believe it. The hurt the betrayal. How could she do this to me!!!!
At least she didn’t drink my wine.
The funniest part was yet to come though. I decided to pop out and get another steak, I had it on my mind now.
I was only out for about 15 mins and when I got back Issy wasn’t even at the door which she always is. I thought it very odd so I started walking in and poked my head around the corner into the Lounge and this is how I found her.
My revenge
So I cooked up the other Steak and poured myself some wine and of course Issy stared at me wanting some more but after what she’d done do you think I’d give her any!!!
Well of course I did I’m only human 🤣🤣🤣🤣
