Maricopa, Arizona.
The air was rich—
buttery, golden,
the scent of perfection.
A masterpiece of a meal,
fresh from the oven,
set on the counter to cool.
I stepped away,
just for a moment.
And then—
A sound.
A strange, rhythmic sound.
A quiet, wet… slurp.
I turned.
Looked.
And there she was.
DAISY.
On. The. Counter.
How?
HOW?!
The barstool.
A perfectly calculated launchpad.
A single bound.
A clean landing.
A silent approach.
And now—
her crime in progress.
Licking.
Devouring.
Her tiny tongue glazing my turkey
with pure pug saliva.
I gasped.
She froze.
A pause. A moment of tension.
Then—MORE LICKING.
She doubled down.
Not a shred of guilt.
Not a moment’s hesitation.
The turkey? No longer mine.
It belonged to Daisy now.
I lunged.
She dodged.
A greasy little goblin in full retreat.
She hit the floor.
Still chewing.
I was left with the ruins of a once-perfect meal.
A turkey tainted by betrayal.
Daisy?
Licking her lips.
Tail wagging.
Victorious.
And deep in my soul, I knew—
She would do it again.
BUT THEN…
Hours later.
Midnight.
A low, ominous gurgle in the darkness.
Then—
TURKEY FART.
Thick.
Dense.
An airborne declaration of victory.
I choked.
She exhaled.
A final act of dominance.
A pungent signature on the night.
Daisy sighed.
Settled in.
Dreaming of her next crime.
And me?
Forever haunted.
To be continued… because Daisy always strikes again.
Happy Thanksgiving!
