Nathan and I left work early to take Autumn in to the ophthalmologist today (eyes ok, no fun stories there). He called me on my cell phone shortly before I met him at home and asked me how much Crisco was in the container I had left out on the counter this morning.
“Oh God,” I said, “don’t tell me she ate the whole thing. It was almost full!”
“Licked it clean,” he said.
Normally I do not leave anything remotely edible out on the counter because things like this happen frequently at our house. But yes, the dog ate nearly an entire tub of Crisco. Luckily we’re talking a modest sized 16 oz container. Had we bought a vat from Costco I imagine we’d have come home to something a little more horrific than a torn-up greasy Crisco container.
Never would I have guessed she’d eat the Crisco. I guess it just goes to show she still has a few surprises left for us. I just hope she doesn’t have yet another surprise waiting for us when we wake up tomorrow morning.

I’m guessing what you find in the morning will be slightly greased.
