Sandra Bennet was not having the best day. Noah had taken Claire to school today because the Nissan was stolen. The two of them had been in too much of a rush to stay for breakfast, and Lyle had taken to not speaking at meals.

This meant she was left alone with Mr. Muggles. Normally, she saw nothing wrong with this, but today Mr. Muggles was acting very unusual. He stared at the television all day, whining pitifully (she knew watching those dog shows wouldn't help any!). And--she had just noticed this--he was chewing on something.

"Mr. Muggles, just what have you got in your mouth? If it isn't the rubber chew toy Mommy got you, you better spit it right out, mister!" Mr. Muggles refused to give it up at first, but some persuasion from "Mommy" made him spit out the makeshift chew toy in question.

Sandra Bennet stared in disbelief at the dog-slobbered pinky toe with hot pink nail polish.

When Claire got home she was going to be in so much trouble.

I think I must be one of five people who watched the show and didn't immediately think of this happening. But yes, I can most definitely see it, and yeah, EWWW. Makes me all too aware that the dog's RL name is Lestat...
