Little foil-wrapped chocolate eggs skittering around the floor, flying
past your head; confiscating them so he doesn't eat them; eating the
chocolate myself, but finding the little foil wrappers all over the
house. ;)

At our place, some of them are gift-wrapped in hairballs. :>(

Oh, how thoughtful. I sure miss Happy this Easter. We had nephews over to hunt
eggs I'd colored last year, and they spent the rest of the day re-hiding them.
All of a sudden we heard a collective wailing coming from the back yard, DH
went to investigate, came back iin and said, "Sherry, you need to put that
egg-sucking dog of yours in the house."
Happy was "finding" the eggs faster than the kids were. They sure were mad at
him.

We had a little dog when I was growing up named Moppet. She LOVED to carry
Easter eggs around. Somewhere we have a polaroid with her carrying a blue
Easter egg in her mouth. SHe thought the hiding and finding of eggs was
great fun. Anyone ever "lost" an egg that was found weeks later?

It's an annual event-- he knocks them downstairs into the basement,
and bats them around down there until they roll behind the washing
machine.

As a kid, I once found an Easter egg in the yard about six months
later, and made the mistake of breaking it. The stench was truly
memorable.

Oh, golly yes. August of 1981. I was sure there was a dead mouse in the kid's
room, and it turned out to be a basket of easter eggs in the closet she was
"saving."

That reminds me of the time my then 4-year old hid his half uneaten
meat sandwich in a chair under some magazines. MLB

What a happy memory. Thanks for sharing that. It sounds like he had a lot
of character. I know you miss him. :(

Mmmmmm.... yummmy! (I've heard of chocolate coated ants, but the thought of
hair coated Easter eggs <BARF>)
