What happens when the Dogparents go back to work?

Soon it was time for the Dogparents to return to their jobs in the city during

the day - which meant all the dogs were left home alone. The first evening
the Dogparents arrived home, they noticed the door to one of the rooms

(where all the holiday dogs’ belongings were stored) was ajar. That's odd,
thought the Dogfather and he went into the room to have a look. He found a

very large container with a screw top lid that had been full of Liver Treats
was now lying on the floor with the lid removed - and was all but

empty. "Mmm", he said "which of you
dogs has been in here helping
themselves to treats today?"

Needless to say, none of the dogs put

up their paws to confess. All the
dogs ate their dinner as normal - so

there weren't any tell-tale signs as to
who the culprit or culprits may have

been there, either.

However, the next day all was

revealed when the most almighty
stink wafted up from where Tiika had

just gone to the toilet. Closer
investigation revealed that she was

expelling very black, very tarry, very
stinky - poo. "Aha" said the Dogmother. "I think we can smell who might have

eaten all the treats, can't we Tiika?"

"I'm sure I don't have any idea what you're talking about," said Tiika as she

was forced to focus on expelling yet more black stinky goo from her nether
regions. This sad state of affairs lasted for two days but it is unlikely that it

will make any difference to Tiika's future escapades!
