Quincy's adventure with his new friends!

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

 New Years Eve!  To celebrate, DH ordered some nice big fat lobsters and picked up four of them from our local fish monger.  Quincy went with him to pick them up and buy other special treats but DH was smart enough not to leave Q in the car alone with the goodies (he learns from past mistakes).

We enjoyed the a few hors d'oeuvres with our cocktails. Nice fire, great evening.  

Then it came time to cook the lobsters.  DH went into the garage to get them-wait- where are they?  okay so we all had imbibed a few cocktails, but where could a bag with four 1 1/2 lobsters be hiding?  We searched the garage, looked in the fridge, checked in the car.  Hmmm. 

DH had put the bag up on a platform in the garage, way to the back.  Gone!  The four of us were stumped. 

But wait! The white plastic bag they were in was by under my car...empty...The plot thickened.  

We put on the flood lights and sure enough...four lobsters strewn across  on our front lawn.  All still alive, and ice cold as it was in the 20 degree range.  Our friends remembered they did see "something" on the lawn when they pulled up! Didn't dawn on them that it was our dinner! 

I can only imagine what those poor devils went through with a doodle trying to get them to play catch! Since their pincers were banded, they could not fight back but I wonder if they tried to run!  They were all facing toward the Sound, but it is a mile down the road.  

We were not sure we wanted to eat Quincy leftovers, but they had no bite marks, were intact, and were still alive.    

Turns out they were sweet and delicious.  Mr. Quincy-Innocent-Look did not get to sample though!

                       HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR DK FRIENDS!

Hilarious...Happy New Year Lori & Quincy...great way to start the New Year...LOL

[Robin and Libby Louise]

HAHA!  Very very funny!

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

What a story. That's so funny. I can't bear to kill lobsters I have to get the fishmonger to kill them for me and I can't look. I think I could easily become a vegetarian. 'your dinner is walking on the lawn'

[DJ & Chance]

Oh this is just hilarious!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

ROTFL!  A doodle will try to get anything to play!  Quincy must have thought you bought him action toys and stashed them in the garage…  can't imagine what the lobsters thought!  This is hilarious!

[Donna K & Quincy]

LOL, Quincy was trying to start his own rescue organization. 

[Leslie and Halas]

That's hilarious!  It would have been a riot watching him try to play with them.

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

Karen-you AND JD are welcome here anytime!  

and Wendy-I thought of trying to take a picture but it was too dark and we were laughing too hard!  

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Quincy is a very smart doodle with impeccable taste in food. I'm hereby inviting myself to your next New Year's Eve shindig!

Happy New Year! 

[Wendy and Myla]

That is hilarious!  I think Quincy was darn lucky the pincers were banded!  Too bad you didn't have one of those webcams in your yard - I can just picture Quincy trying to figure out how to "crack" the shell and those poor lobsters trying to get to the water - so near and yet so far!
