Heh. I'm laughing over the brother in the restaurant business. Yep, the food is delicious and can take SO LONG. Pets do have a way of making the event more special. We've got pictures of our labrador removing blue cheese prosciutto canapes from the coffee table. The guest took the picture rather than stopping the dog.
head first in the garbage, oh yes. One lab of ours, after a party, broke into the pantry and ate an entire bag of Doritos, a loaf of bread and a potato. The other Lab, rather than gorging, spent the entire time trying to (and eventually succeeded)in unscrewing the lid on the peanut butter jar. The top half of the jar was licked completely clean and there were globs of peanut butter at the bottom. SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR.
