Carrie and Clayton Law live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I've been a listener for a while, so I was super excited to hear from you.
Carrie's a huge fan.
Okay. Clayton, you're like lukewarm, but... Exactly this time last year, they'd hired some people to build a fence in their yard. And they planned to pay the fence installers in cash. Clayton went to the bank and withdrew the money in 50s and 100s. The bank teller sealed it in an envelope.
And so I set it down on the counter and, you know, went to go do something, talk to Carrie, and then came back. And I just kind of had a WTF moment. It was hard for me to process what I was looking at.
And then he started kind of panicking, I think.
Yeah.
It had only been about 30 minutes, but the envelope wasn't on the counter. The money was all over the floor in small, wet pieces. And Carrie, he yelled for you.
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...
Their dog Cecil, a 100-pound golden doodle.
Cecil was just standing there over the pile of money, just shredded, consumed. It was just all over the floor.
How much money?
$4,000 total. He had never done anything like this in the past ever. And so it was hard for me to process what I was looking at because we used to, you know, leave dinner out. We used to eat at the coffee table and watch some TV. And you could leave, you know, a steak dinner or a cheeseburger or whatever on that table, go to the kitchen, open a bottle of wine, talk for a little bit, come back, and he would still just be sitting on the couch, you know, not, you know, touching it at all. So I was very just shocked that he did this.
I mean, he hadn't just kind of torn these up. He'd also eaten the bills. Oh, yeah.
You start to assess the damage and you're like, all right, how much is actually gone or is there any more damage? They called the vet, who said to keep an eye on things, but that at 100 pounds, they weren't too worried about Cecil. Did you then ask the next question?
Or are we going to get the money back?
Immediately, you know, Carrie is probably one of the most like just resourceful researcher. Like, can you exchange this? What's the process? So she's Googling it as I'm just trying to, you know, figure out what our next steps are. But later that night, it was like 2 a.m. And you have a dog, so you understand. But it's the proverbial like sound of a dog that's about to throw up you have like a 15 second window before you know it all comes out and so I hear that and I snap snap awake jump out of bed I'm like no no no not on the carpet and just got him on the tile and he threw up and you know it's 2 a.m. so I'm just like I'm just gonna clean this up and I grab a plastic grocery bag and some paper towel and I realized wow there is like
chunks of bills in here like a lot and you know i thought about turning the light on and going through it but i was like you know what i'll deal with this tomorrow so i just put it in the bag tied it shut and then i put it kind of low but then i was like wait i don't want him to get back into it so i put it really high up on the cabinet so there was no possible way um and then you know the next morning sure enough there were like hundreds um in there all chewed up and stuff
