The Coat of Many Kinos

Once, I bought this coat for our dog Kino. I was going home to Portland for a few days and decided to bring the dog a present. Granted, I'm mostly indifferent to animals, but this little dog jacket was $3 at Old Navy. Being the "can't turn down a good deal" shopper that I am, I bought Kino the coat. With that said, I will now tell my favorite Kino story.

(Good segue huh? I've been a little slow in the photo department lately, and who doesn't love a blog with a spoiled dog in down coat with fake fur? I will admit however, there's something a little off with Kino in this photo. It creeps me out about 7%)

I came home from church one Sunday and was going to grill a hamburger out on our deck. (When I say deck, I really mean 4-story "balcony" over a ravine because our house was on a hill.) Unfortunately, being that it was Portland and all, it was pouring rain. And we have no cover on the deck.

I maneuvered myself in and out of the house multiple times, trying my hardest not to drip water all over the place. My final trip in, I had to empty my hands so I could close my umbrella. Erroneously, I put down the plate with my freshly grilled burger.

Kino, being the little conniving thief that he is, snatched the burger off my plate and ran away. I yelled in tandem at the dog and for my mom. She wrested the patty from Kino's unyielding mouth and rinsed it off in the sink.

I gave Kino a swift little, unseen kick and ate my burger.

Which is the strangest part of the story?
A) Like a cookie on TV, a perfect bite was taken from my burger.
B) I'm writing a blog that features a dog in human clothes.
C) I ate a burger that had literally been washed.
D) I readily admit to harming an animal.
E) Other.
