‘Bed Bandit’ Mystery Solved!

8 Jul

For a few years now our house has been plagued by the ‘Bed Bandit”.  This mysterious creature would strike a few mornings each week and re-make  a couple of the beds in the house.  Mom found this entire thing quite troubling because it would always occur after she had tidied up the house and headed for the shower.  The thing is, my human watches too much HGTV and thinks that our house should look like the “after” on one of those shows.  So, she makes the bed every morning and walks around picking things up, arranging pillows, etc.  Ohhhh, and don’t forge the vacuum.  We have really light tan carpet so lots of vacuuming.  I’m a brown dog living with light tan carpet.  What was my human thinking? 

Anyway….. For a while my human would close all the bedroom doors to stop the ‘Bed Bandit’ from re-making the beds.  Well it turns out the ‘Bed Bandit’ knows how to open doors because we don’t have knobs we have handle things.  BOL (bark out loud) My poor silly human.

Anyway, the jig is up.  Yesterday, my human pretended to go into the shower and then snuck back into the bedroom and caught the ‘Bed Bandit” in the act.  Guess what?  The ‘Bed Bandit” is ME!

I’m trying to be sorry because I love my human, but it soooo much fun to make the bed the way I like it.  Throwing those sham pillow things onto the ground is almost as much fun as pawing at the bed spread to bunch it up.  Some things are to much fun to give up so rest assured the ‘Bed Bandit’ will strike again.  Guess I will have to make sure she actually gets into the shower next time.  

My human pretended to be mad but I could tell she was trying not to laugh.  Hmmm… Do you think she knew it was me all along?  Are you the ‘Bed Bandit’ at your house?
