Toronto vs. Ottawa

There is a very funny story here. Well, funny to me at least. The week before Christmas my sister and her husband, who are avid fans of the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey team came to visit. Coincidentally, our team, The Ottawa Senators, were scheduled to play against Toronto that night. In the afternoon when we realized that the game was on T.V. I suggested that we should all just take a deep breath and agree to be good sports no matter what happened during the game.

As dinner ended I told everyone to go get ready to watch the game while we cleared the table. After a few minutes there was great commotion down the hall. When I turned to look, here were my two dogs dressed in maple leaf scarves, and my sister and brother-in-law decked out with maple leaf flags. We laughed long and hard over that.

A couple of weeks later when I cleaned up I put two of the flags/towels in my office on a shelf in my bookcase while I tried to decide how I could get revenge. It seems that Max and Whitney had other things in mind. When I wasn't looking Max stole these from my office and then ran around the house daring me to take them back. I'm not sure if that means he has dropped his loyalty to the Sens or what!
