"Oh my! How quick my opponents are to jump to conclusions based on one small photo. You know what they say about assuming.
Anyway, this story just doesn't add up. Here's what really happened...
Ginny, who is the official keeper of Lily's dog treats, was on vacation last week. During her absence, Ginny transferred the responsibility of giving Lily treats to me. However, she forgot to tell me that Lily was out of treats and that Lanier had conveniently forgotten to buy more. Are you beginning to smell a conspiracy here?
So Lily came around looking for her treat -- per usual -- and I had nothing to give her. She begged. She did tricks. She about drove me insane. To pacify her, I innocently gave her a small piece of the animal crackers I had been enjoying as an afternoon snack. It was genuine kindness and love for this little creature -- and not an attempt at bribery -- that drove me to feed Lily the cracker that has thrown me into this mess!
As for Lily's side of the story -- forget it. You can get that dog to say whatever you want if you rub her belly. I'm willing to bet the rest of today's animal crackers that Lanier and Ginny are behind the bull that's Lily's been spatting out.
In fact, maybe this attempt at scandal runs even deeper than Lanier and Ginny. I mean, isn't it "interesting" that Claire just happened to have a camera lurking outside my office to catch this photo? I think someone needs to find out what kind of deal Lanier is finessing with Ginny and Claire. Clearly, they've seen me out campaigning in the streets, trying to improve my rankings in this race, and they got so scared they felt they had to resort to this kind of treachery in order to take me out. I say, what is this company coming to?"
There you have it, folks -- the story right out of the lions mouth. But will it help her stay in the race?
