I Have Been Falsely Accused!
On Saturday, March 9th, a terrible crime was committed at our home! Sometime between 8:30 AM, when Jen left out to commence her investigation, and 11:00 AM, when she returned….. well, you can see for yourself.
How did this happen?
Jen was understandably upet. So was I. How could this have happened without my knowing?
conducting an investigation of my own
Now, wait just a minute Jen! You don’t think that I had anything to do with this…. do you? It’s just a coincidence that I developed an upset tummy Saturday night. I’m innocent, I tell ya!
See? There’s a cat! THAT should be your prime suspect!
It appears each of the cat food cans were licked clean, so DNA testing may take place, unless someone goes ahead and confesses.
I’ve been framed!
In the meantime, I am working on my defense.
March 11, 2013 at 5:04 AM
I say innocent!
March 11, 2013 at 5:08 AM
Checking your breath … hmmm smells a bit fishy … do you want us to start a fund for your lawer?
March 11, 2013 at 5:06 AM
If you need an alibi, we have a standard form of words used to great effect on multiple occasions. It’s actually based on Pinnochio’s denial of culpability from Shrek.
March 11, 2013 at 5:07 AM
Innocent until proven guilty! Upset tummy coincidence
March 11, 2013 at 5:07 AM
This is wonderful!
We have had such investigations!
I have to say from looking at the photos innocence has been perfected!
March 11, 2013 at 5:09 AM
Give her the “Innocent Face” followed very quickly by the “I Love You” Face…always works for me! bark bark bark
March 11, 2013 at 5:11 AM
I’m sure your tummy was only upset because you were stressed that it happened – not because you ate all that trash!!
March 11, 2013 at 5:11 AM
Oh the injustice! Of course the cat did it!
March 11, 2013 at 5:11 AM
I believe some serious sucking up is in order … just in case your defense falls apart!!
March 11, 2013 at 5:26 AM
Oh dear Rumpy, I do hope you can find a really good lawyer to represent you. It’s always difficult to fight the accusations when you’ve been framed like that
March 11, 2013 at 5:29 AM
Bribes always work! Get Mommy some jewelery & she’ll forget all about it! LOL Anyhow, something must have been in the air this weekend, because I (Bella) was bad too on Saturday, but I was caught in action.
March 11, 2013 at 5:48 AM
*wink* I know your innocent – I will even give you an alibi *wink wink*
March 11, 2013 at 5:51 AM
Wow ! The purrfect crime, somebody put a lot of thought into this. This must have required some sophisticated prepurration Rumpy. I don’t think you should worry about the investigation, there’s no way you could have done this.
March 11, 2013 at 5:51 AM
Rumpy, you’ve obviously been framed. Those evil birds (who I hear have teamed up with some pesky squirrels) must’ve sneaked in while your back was turned!
March 11, 2013 at 5:59 AM
Never admit to anything! No cameras, no proof! Pretty sure it was the cat!
March 11, 2013 at 6:05 AM
How could Jen suspect a dog with a face like yours??? Innocence all over the place…..!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
March 11, 2013 at 6:08 AM
I sure hope I get you guys on the jury!
March 11, 2013 at 6:10 AM
Oh, my goodness…..hmmm. Well, I won’t pass judgment, but someone sure had a good time! (Not Jen, obviously….)
March 11, 2013 at 6:17 AM
looks like my kitchen on a Sunday morning
March 11, 2013 at 6:18 AM
I’m coming over to your house!!!!
March 11, 2013 at 7:14 AM
To tidy up I hope
March 11, 2013 at 6:22 AM
I do not think it was the cat
March 11, 2013 at 6:27 AM
Hey! Whose side are you on???
March 11, 2013 at 6:31 AM
I know you live with cats, there is even one in one of your evidence photos…I would stand by the story that the cat did it!
March 11, 2013 at 6:37 AM
I commensurate . My ex accused me for every horrible matter that went on in the entire world and when I ran for public office in the ’80s the newspaper and opposition accused me of so many things, well I would have to be 700 years old to have done even just 1% of everything.
March 11, 2013 at 7:00 AM
I’m so sorry mate but the evidence is quickly building up against you. I say plead guilty and promise never to give in to your secret relishes. I’m sure your mom has already forgiven ya
March 11, 2013 at 7:00 AM
LOL – yeah, you look totally innocent!
March 11, 2013 at 7:01 AM
Cant trust those cats…they are so sneaky
March 11, 2013 at 7:03 AM
I would tell Jen a band of gypsies broke in and did it and leave it at that!
March 11, 2013 at 7:09 AM
Your upset tummy was probably due to the worry of it all. I don’t know how anyone could suspect you!
March 11, 2013 at 7:15 AM
Oh dear it does not look good – until you can afford a top notch lawyer you can hide out at our house – I will bake cookies! When can we expect you?
March 11, 2013 at 7:19 AM
It looks to me like the playground of a racoon. Yeah I think it was a racoon or “Mr. Somedoggy”… but not you…
March 11, 2013 at 7:28 AM
Some of that went on at our house too, must be something in the air!
March 11, 2013 at 7:29 AM
I think it is something came from outside… Maybe aliens
You are all so nice and good! But seems terrible… Dear Rumpy do you know my cat, my Princess makes this everyday in my living room… My first job in the home to tidy up what she did… Yes she is making by herself all these mess… Thanks and Love, nia
March 11, 2013 at 7:53 AM
Thanks for following my blog. We have a Boxer, Silky Terrier and two domestic short hair kittys. All are rescues.
March 11, 2013 at 8:07 AM
We will totally testify that you were in no way any where NEAR this area of destruction, lovely Rumpy!!! You are innocent!
Take care
x
March 11, 2013 at 8:32 AM
Cat food cans licked clean…. oh it was a cat who done it for sure. I am not saying one of your cats. But maybe a cat who is a professorial cat bugler who has skills for breaking in.
Blessings,
Goose
March 11, 2013 at 8:40 AM
Oh no! Poor rumpy! Maybe your tummy was upset because Jen was upset? You poor sweetheart. I would never accuse you.. I think a strong wind blew through the house as Jen was leaving and what’s what really happened.
March 11, 2013 at 8:40 AM
OMD! Your cats brofurs must have had a big party!!! I can see some plastick bottles on the floor….hmmmm…were there any cats who got drunk?
March 11, 2013 at 9:22 AM
Uh-oh! I don’t believe for one mintute it was Rumpy! I agree with one of the comments above- it must have been aliens or ghosts!
I’ve came home to messes like this in the past. Del looks so sad when I find the mess that I know it can’t have been him that has done it!
Great post! Really made me chuckle
March 11, 2013 at 9:24 AM
Soooo funny!
March 11, 2013 at 9:38 AM
I think the upset tummy might be the giveaway.
March 11, 2013 at 9:45 AM
I really don’t see evidence of a crime? My house looks similar with three children. Carry on.
March 11, 2013 at 9:54 AM
Your defense? Just who left such a tempting delight out to begin with? Entrapment!!!
March 11, 2013 at 10:30 AM
Awww I don’t believe for a minute that YOU did it! The cat did!
March 11, 2013 at 10:59 AM
Poor Rumpy:( Temptation lurks in garbage cans – YUM!
March 11, 2013 at 11:36 AM
Oh nooooo. M is laughing her head off because she came home to a mess like that once – years ago when she had a schnauzer and a “smart” kitty. The kitchen floor was a disaster area. Love the expression on your faces too – such innocent looks.
March 11, 2013 at 12:30 PM
Innocence Rumpers = YOU XO
March 11, 2013 at 12:36 PM
Greetings. It looks like S.O.D (someotherdoggy) has been to visit you. We have been wondering where he has got to. It could not have been you.
March 11, 2013 at 12:40 PM
yeah, yeah, blame it on the cats!!…I’m thinkin’ ‘maybe not so fast Rumpers’…you and Miss DeDe are lookin’ a bit embarrassed there…just sayin’…heh…heh…paw pats, Savannah
March 11, 2013 at 12:55 PM
Rumpy, do a thing like that? Never!! Eko and I are happy to be character witnesses for you at the trial.
March 11, 2013 at 1:01 PM
Rumpy, Me thinks thou doth protest too much…
March 11, 2013 at 1:15 PM
I’m pretty sure you’re innocent and that the upset tummy is from being falsely accused!
March 11, 2013 at 1:37 PM
I think its aliens!!!!!
March 11, 2013 at 1:48 PM
You was railroaded. We sure.
March 11, 2013 at 1:49 PM
Cats are nefarious creatures that strive to set up all dogs so they can eventually “rule the world”. We, as dogs, know it is complete rubbish that cats are even capable of leadership…they are only good for knocking over garbage cans and laying blame elsewhere. (Hmm, maybe they are set to rul the world…sounds a lot like politicians those cats.) BOL
March 11, 2013 at 2:00 PM
In OUR opinion that looks like the work of a bunch of SQUIRRELS.
March 11, 2013 at 2:00 PM
LOL – oh no! Dede does have the guilty look on her face. You don’t look very concerned Rumpy haha… My dog does this sometimes too…
March 11, 2013 at 2:42 PM
back when Dave Barry was holding court he seemed to KNOW dog and cat psychology and behavior. Cats, he said, will sit aloof when you come home, even sitting right next to the broken plant-pot, broken clay spilled dirt roots and stems akimbo, as if they had nothing to do with this. Dogs, on the other hand, all will cower and cringe and gladly(?) take blame for anything that happened … even if somehow they had nothing to do with it.
March 11, 2013 at 3:08 PM
Rumpy here’s some evidence you can present to prove your innocence.
http://keiththegreen.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/are-you-a-dog-person-or-a-cat-person/
March 11, 2013 at 3:13 PM
Of course you are innocent, but we suggest you and Dede work on perfecting your look of “not me” – you both look guilty in that last pic.

March 11, 2013 at 4:23 PM
Rumpy, it’s me, Tuck The Law Dog. Don’t “speak.” Don’t let them take your “paw” prints! Tell them you want a lawyer! You know where to reach me: Twitter.com/TuckTheLawDog
March 11, 2013 at 4:29 PM
One more warning-don’t admit anything to June-Buggie—she might squeal on y’all!!
March 11, 2013 at 4:40 PM
Good luck, Rumpy. This criminal was clearly very thorough. I bet he wiped all the surfaces clean of paw prints. This crime is hilarious. I mean heinous.
Love and licks and it wasn’t me,
Cupcake
March 11, 2013 at 5:13 PM
Who let Max & Bella in your place? pssssssst Rumpy that’ll be two dog biscuits. m & b
March 11, 2013 at 5:44 PM
The body language is kind of telling, Rumpy. You’re at ease, looks like you’re asleep on the couch. Someone falsely accused might not be so blaze about the whole affair. Or, am I reading too much into this?
March 11, 2013 at 6:24 PM
DON’T be falsely accused, Rumpy. Remember, it’s all circumstancial!
March 11, 2013 at 8:15 PM
Well, Rumpy, when this was first posted on Facebook, I immediately jumped to your defense and (my dogs) wrote to Jen that it was obviously the Landlord who did it. I’m sure the upset tummy was just feeling bad for Jen that she had to clean it all up. xo
March 11, 2013 at 10:41 PM
Rumpy, cough up your commission for letting that new event planner use your home for a furbaby recreation center. (Still wasn’t you.) Then Mom can give you some Pepto and move on to important things like taking you to Petsmart to help you spend that commission.
March 11, 2013 at 10:44 PM
Poor Rumpy. You have to fight for your rights. Make sure they Merandarize you. DNA is a good idea. Good luck.
Licks and rrrruffs, BJ
March 11, 2013 at 11:34 PM
Gulp, does look like maybe S.O.D. (some other dog) came over from Jasper and Nellies Blog and messed up Jens kitchen. DeDe couldn’t have been involved, look how cute she is.
March 12, 2013 at 1:52 AM
Cute! I’ve come home to that type of mess many times myself! Now it’s like a game…”let’s go see what Abbey chewed up this time.” -Caasi
March 12, 2013 at 5:33 AM
Don’t admit to anything! Contact us at http://www.law4dogs.co.uk for advice immediately Ozy The Labrador
March 12, 2013 at 7:27 AM
OMG o_O what has the world come too. Rumpy didn’t doos dothing and he has tummy upset cos he was shocked that someone would even think that he dids dit
Rumpy is innocent look at his “I can’t believe you said that eyes”
March 12, 2013 at 7:44 AM
You will be called as a character witness! woo woo woo!
March 12, 2013 at 10:04 AM
This is all hearsay evidence. No jury of your peers would ever convict you on this, especially given the abundance of other possible culprits on the premises at the time of the crime. You will go free. LingLing, Oreo, and Tilly Tot are ready, able, and willing to testify on your behalf. Woo hoo!
March 12, 2013 at 11:43 AM
Be in the lookout for that subpoena!
March 12, 2013 at 1:08 PM
Circumstantial evidence, Rumpy! I’m sure it was the cat! They do stuffs like that! You even look innocent!
March 12, 2013 at 1:10 PM
Rumpy, I think you have civil lawsuit. I think what really happened was your head got stuck in the guillotine swing topper of the trash can and fearing for your life the trash got strewn about trying to get out of the trap. You poor thing. You could really have been hurt by all this!!!!
March 12, 2013 at 1:31 PM
It was the cat next door I saw him!!
March 12, 2013 at 4:10 PM
Of course it wasn’t you, Rumpy
March 12, 2013 at 4:46 PM
Had my dachshund still been alive you could have probably blamed him. He was caught “red-handed” or is that “red-pawed” several times.
March 12, 2013 at 7:14 PM
Oh Rumpy!!! What can I say?!! … HooOOOOoooOWWWWwwwwwwwLLLLLLLLLLLL
March 12, 2013 at 7:17 PM
Rumpy, fallen in with a bad crowd? Sigh.
March 13, 2013 at 6:40 AM
Don’t say a word Rumpy. The evidence is circumstantial
March 13, 2013 at 6:43 AM
As long as she doesn’t get those DNA tests done!
March 13, 2013 at 10:56 AM
I’ve seen this phenomenon before. People always blame their pets, or poltergeists if they don’t have pets. But don’t play the poltergeist card, Rumpy. There’s no such thing as poltergeists. This was the work of an indoor tornado. The science behind those is a little complicated, but basically a sudden shift in temperature causes warm air to mix suddenly with cold air and, bam! You have a funnel cloud. Usually, they are small scale, causing otherwise inexplicable things such as all the toilet paper to be unrolled on the floor, or the car keys ending up in the garbage. This was obviously on a much larger scale. Also, few people know this, but when cold air gets into a dryer, it creates an indoor tornado that’s capable of sucking up socks!
March 13, 2013 at 11:15 AM
Hmmmm… I like it. I like it.
March 14, 2013 at 7:39 PM
Good luck with that defense!……..lol
March 15, 2013 at 6:59 AM
That is what you call in the DOG HOUSE Lol
March 15, 2013 at 4:18 PM
Hilarious!
March 15, 2013 at 8:33 PM
So adorable!
March 15, 2013 at 10:19 PM
Thanks for stopping by … good you checked out the FDA warning for the doggie food but good golly i wouldn’t feed my dog Bravo products !!!
March 16, 2013 at 9:13 AM
Huh?
March 18, 2013 at 7:18 AM
It’s obvious you have been framed!!
March 18, 2013 at 7:31 AM
Of course! I would never do that!
March 18, 2013 at 8:32 AM
I had no doubts! Although they did a good job making it coinside with you having a poorly stomch – that’s very dasterdly!
March 18, 2013 at 2:38 PM
Hahahahah! I love his own investigation. Poor baby. Be easy on him! xo
March 29, 2013 at 2:05 PM
Love it! Thanks for stopping by the Woof Diaries!!
March 29, 2013 at 5:43 PM
My pleasure!
March 31, 2013 at 2:06 PM
look @ those eyes, they scream innocence…en theos……..j
March 31, 2013 at 2:42 PM
Who is the cat? I say it looks like the cat had its friends over for a nice purrty. Typical after-purrty look in the kitchen… What I don’t understand is how they could have this party without you noticing them? Or did they bribe you with the fishy cat food?
April 6, 2013 at 5:00 PM
I’ve had that happen at least 5 times. My dogs love bins! When you get home and the whole lounge room is strewn with rubbish – it’s a lovely feeling!!!
