No, this has nothing to do with baseball or theft. We went on vacation for a few days, and stayed at our favorite pet-friendly B&B. When we got there, we realized the one thing we forgot to pack was our dog’s food. So, fine, we got some from the local Acme, but then, we had to use one of the coffee mugs in our room to measure out his meals. As is our habit at home, we use a mug to measure it out, and leave it in the bag of food.
When we packed up and left this morning, we had inadvertently left the coffee mug belonging to the B&B in the dog food bag, and didn’t realize it until we got home. Whoops.
So, I emailed the owner of the B&B, who we’ve met many times, to let him know we had it, and would mail it back to him ASAP. But, to make sure he knew the situation, I followed up with a phone call. Just as well. His laptop died on him this morning, and was out for repair. Anyway, he knows the situation, and was very gracious about it, telling me no rush on mailing it back.
I’ll wash it out, pack it up, and take it over to the post office tomorrow to send it back to him. This is so embarrassing, but at least I let him know as soon as I realized what happened.
