Yes, yeah. So we both work from home, and I just start hearing Clayton saying, he ate the money. And I'm thinking, what? What? He ate the money? And I'm like...

So luckily we have a utility sink. And so we use that and some Tupperware and just in some like dish soap and just kind of washed it a few times. And by the time I had started that process, Clayton had taken Cecil to go out you know, to the bathroom for that morning and was noticing that there were also $100 bills sticking out of what Cecil was depositing in the yard.

And so that was when we realized that to get the rest of the money, we were going to have to just follow him around for a couple of days with plastic bags.

So first I had called and I just explained the situation and they're kind of like laughing. I don't think they really believed me at first whenever I said the amount of money. I think they probably kind of thought I was joking. And they said, you know, we were able to tape it together and have the serial numbers on both sides. We could get it exchanged for fresh bills.

So I'm thinking, OK, we're going to have to do this. So we had this like massive jigsaw puzzle of these washed partial bills that I had to put together, which took several hours. And so once we had that all taped together, I took that to the bank with me and I just remember standing in line and I think Clayton, did you come with me for that? Yeah, Clayton was with me.

I remember standing in line and people are there just going about their daily business and then we go up to the clerk with this plastic bag and I think we brought gloves for them and explained that I had talked to somebody at the bank the day before. They said we could exchange these bills and they're kind of looking at me and then I explained what had happened and

somebody in the back goes, oh, that was me you talked to. And so she was laughing and comes over. And I think she was in disbelief by the amount that we had brought in.

So whenever I talk, Whenever I talked with our bank about this, they were not surprised at all. They said that they have a lot of customers that have dogs that will eat money. They did mention that they've never seen this amount. I think it's like somebody's dog gets a 20.

But they said they think it's because it passes through restaurants and it picks up maybe food smells would be their best guess. I'm not sure, but something about it smelled good enough to take that risk for him.

It was around thirty five hundred dollars. I think by the end of it, maybe, you know, give or take, hundreds and fifties.

We were never mad at him. Like, I remember we were watching TV and he's like laying on the couch and he likes to watch TV. So he's watching TV. Yeah. And we just all start laughing because we're like looking at this dog knowing that there's a few thousand dollars inside of him and he's just coolly watching TV like it's not a big deal.

He was just perched like kind of half on, half off the rice cooker like a gargoyle and like scooping rice into his mouth. But it was really hot, you know, because it was like fresh rice. But he didn't, you know, he wouldn't stop eating it. So he was like complaining that it was hot while continuing to do it. I now duct tape the rice cooker as well.
