The Thief

Sadie is a carrot lover. It could be her one true weakness. Yesterday afternoon, while I was grooming horses, I noticed Sadie very slowly easing her way to the grooming box. I watched out of the corner of my eye to see what she was up to. Finally after several minutes of stealthy creeping, Sadie grabbed her prize - the bag of carrots in the box. Just like a purse snatcher, she scooped the bag up into her mouth and gleefully took off. Unfortunately, she had picked the bag up by the bottom and had spilled all the carrots in her escape. Once she realized this and saw all of the horses eating her booty, she sheepishly returned to the scene of the crime. I retrieved the bag from her mouth, salvaged a couple of carrots and rubbed her belly. Crime really doesn't pay.
