Its Friday the 13th - What Can Happen in 5 Minutes

To clear up earlier mess elsewhere in the house, I left Elvis outside his cage (my first error) alone (my second error) in the lobby (third error) with ‘stuff’ accessible (4th error). I walked away to finish clearing, at which point I heard the first crash of the empty food bowl. I returned, after only 5 minutes. 5 MINUTES !!!!
Second note to self. Never assume anything about a puppy, who has learnt to use the garden for his necessaries (almost all the time), to sit on command and who appears so cute, its impossible to be angry with him. I admit to being a bit cross, but with myself, rather than him. Onwards and upwards.
