caught in the act

doesn't the theme of this post sound so scandalous. ooooh, marci and walter sitting in a tree...NO, i am not talking about that. i am so proud of myself today because i finally caught roxy in the act of stealing food from the counter in the kitchen. a few days ago i had boiled some chicken that i was going to use for some chicken noodle soup. i pulled out the breasts and set them on the cutting board, in the middle of the counter, to cool down for a minute. i left the kitchen for FIVE MINUTES and came back to an empty counter. no sign of chicken. anywhere. except for roxy just standing there staring at me. she gulped down TWO HOT CHICKEN BREASTS IN FIVE MINUTES AND LICKED THE FLOOR CLEAN! so, today i had 2 cupcakes sitting in the middle of the counter waiting for 2 kids that were coming home from school. i was sitting on the couch and could see the counter. roxy was in the house with me and all of the sudden i heard her paw nails going nuts on the kitchen floor. i turned my head and saw only one cupcake. i then immediately ran over there and she turned around and coughed up the cupcake, wrapper and all. this time i could get mad at her and she would know why she was in trouble. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY A DOG WOULD DO THIS AFTER 6 YEARS OF NOT DOING IT? i am so confused! walter says she is now forever stuck in steal from the kitchen counter mode. boo.
