Flour-eating eskies

While I was sitting here at my computer, I heard a funny slurping licking sound from across the room. I knew it was coming from one of the dogs, but it didn't sound like they were drinking water or chewing on something. It was an odd sort of sound.

I got up and walked across the room to investigate. That side of the room was rather dark, so at first, all I could see were two white shadows.

Suddenly it dawned on me! I had a couple bags of flour I needed to take out to the extra freezer in the garage. I had put them in plastic bags and set them in a milk crate on the floor to wait until my next trip out.

The eskies were eating flour! Raw flour out of the bag!

It's not like I don't feed them. Eskies are known for getting into eveything and anything they can. But flour?

As I quickly picked up the milk crate, they both looked up at me disappointed, like I had just taken away a favorite treat. I noticed the white flour on their black noses. They looked like they'd been snorting coke!

When I turned the light on I saw the evidence -- all over the floor! Mogul had been digging the flour out of the bag while Blizzard was licking it off the carpet. Flour was everywhere! Looks like the vacuum cleaner will get a workout tomorrow, but that can wait until morning. Maybe I'll get lucky and the eskies will clean up their own mess by then.
