I saved my dog’s life just now. I did.
Really. You see, I found this little square of Ghirardelli dark chocolate on my coffee table. No, no. It wasn’t loose or anything. It was in its product bag.
Not that the dog had any access to it or even showed any interest, but it was definitely my pleasure to save my dog from the square of death in my hand. I don’t need to share how I savored every bite as it melted its 72% cocao as it melted its dark bliss in my mouth.
It was the pleasure of knowing that he will never be at risk of eating this piece of human joy, that would surely take him from us. And I had to endure bite after bite of heavenly peace to do it.
So I saved him. Yes. That’s the story I’m going with.
Maybe he won’t bite my toe.
