Nothing beats a good cup of coffee, especially to get one going in the morning, or enjoying the freshly-brewed "elixir of life" after a fine meal. It allows one to settle in for the evening and enjoy the peace and quiet that follows a busy day. If you are like me and cannot resist drinking your favorite brand of Java, just make sure to follow one important tip: Close your doors, lock your windows, check in every closet, and look under every bed... there just might be a dog named Ozzy under there.
After I poured my coffee, I added my favorite creamer and two teaspoons of raw sugar. Unfortunately, my day was not over, as my wife required a search party to locate her missing MP3 player. I made the mistake of placing my drink in a place that Ozzy could easily get to. He put all 15 pounds into sucking down the rest of the cup. When I returned to my empty container, I looked at my little pal, who was giving me a complete look of ignorance. He said he didn't know what happened to the rest of the coffee.
Fifteen minutes later, the truth was revealed as the brew began to show its affects. No matter how comfortable Ozzy tried to get, no matter how hard he tried to nap, his eyes steadily grew to the size of large marbles. Shortly after, he began running around the living room and bouncing off the walls, stopping only to plead and beg to be let for what he said was an emergency. I think he doused every tree in the front yard. He came back in, and ten minutes later, he had to go back out and douse the trees in the back yard. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out the identity of the Java Theif... it took him four hours to regain his composure. From now on it's decaf for Ozzy!
