I brought this story about Chili bean over from the CyberShoulder Room. I dont think to many people go to that part of the board. It will be 5 months on the 11th of April since she left this world. I wanted to tell this funny story about her again. I wanted to be able to smile through my tears on this coming 5th month mark.

Chili Bean had done many things in her life time but I guess the one that scared my husband and I the most and yet at the same time sent us into big fits of laughter was when we went to the store and came home and Chili Bean did not come to greet us. She always came running as fast as her little legs could carry her. I called out to her and heard frantic barking and a scratching noise.

I looked around and saw her nose sticking out of a 30 pound garbage bag that my husband had brought into the house to fill up and had forgot to take it out when we left. I screamed to my husband she was in the garbage bag and we tore the bag open and garbage went all over the kitchen floor along with Chili Bean.

Somehow she must have crawled onto the chair and fell in and in her struggle to dig her way out was halfway down the bag. The strap was on the door knob and it closed the bag. We hugged and kissed her when she tumbled out with the garbage and gave her a much needed bath.

Because she was alright we laughed the whole time we picked up the trash and put it in another bag. You can bet we never left anymore trash out for her to get into, through the years we always joked with her and asked her if she wanted to do anymore trash picking.

Thanks Jilly and Lynn, It did make me smile even with my brokenheart.
Love, Ann

Ann, was she a stinky bean after that??

They always leave us with something that will definitely make us laugh, even at their expense!
