I heard the bells on Christmas Day...or Monday afternoon?
It all started a few weeks back. It was Radley's night to stay with me and my parents were walking him down. (We have joint custody of this beloved dog.) They couldn't find his collar so they put a jingle bell necklace around his neck and connected the leash to it. Very effective. This little bell necklace has now found its home at our house and Sarah Grace enjoys playing with it. Last night Sarah Grace put it around Scout's neck. I could hear every move the dog made. It was kind of fun at first, but when 4am rolled around and Stephanie and I were ready for bed, it was not so fun. I was afraid Scout would wake everyone up so I took the dang bell off of her. Now today rolls around and its going to be a hectic one. We have cleaning to do, painting, shopping, and cooking that needs to take place. We are having a small get together tonight for Eric's birthday and I baked a cake this morning. Sarah Grace's eyes have been glued to this cake ever since it left the oven. Fast forward to this afternoon when I bathed Sarah Grace and put the bell around her neck. Please forgive me,but I knew I was going to be busy and Sarah Grace is constantly getting into and climbing things. I just figured if I put the bell around her I could at least somewhat keep track of her. I mean it worked for the dogs right?! Well I was upstairs taking care of some laundry when I heard the bell on the move. It was pretty steady at first so I kind of just stood there for a minute, but then I heard a lot of commotion and I was on the move. I ran into the kitchen where I found a little blue Ikea chair pulled up against the cabinets and a cake layer that had finger pricks and dragging lines in it. I guess thats going to be the bottom layer now. I asked Sarah Grace why she did it and she told me, "um because I wanted it." Good response. Thank you bell for informing me, the damage could have been much worse!

Ha that's hilarious. Good thinking on your part. It obviously worked well. Greta has a Christmas collar with bells. I'll keep this story in mind if I need to use it on a child in the future. At least she's an honest sneaky girl right?
haha! i'm with mandy, at least she's honest! thats funny. you know, you could make her a hair bow with a bell on it, then its less like a dog collar. :)
I laughed so hard it sent me into a coughing fit! I wonder if SG thinks in her mind "Duh, I wanted it!" So cute - do you think the freezer might keep her fingerprints out next time. And it helps frosting the cake too!
