Croissant Cronicles, Part Five

You try your best.

You carry the croissant gently. You whisper affirmations. You take a single, delicate bite...

And then—boom.
Crumbs. Everywhere.

In your hoodie. In your ears. In Mini Blue’s ear.
Flakes fall like golden snow on a freshly vacuumed rug.

It’s chaos.
It’s buttery.
It’s life.

🧹 Lesson One: Some Messes Are Inevitable

You can plan. You can prep.
You can hold the croissant with two paws and pure intentions…

But flakes will still fall.

And that doesn’t mean you did it wrong.
It means you lived it right.

🧼 Lesson Two: You Can Clean It Later

Not everything needs fixing right away.

Sometimes you sit in the mess a moment.
You breathe. You nibble. You accept the state of things.

Then you find the vacuum. Or Pandy does.
(It’s usually Pandy.)

🥐 Lesson Three: There’s Beauty in the Fallout

Flakes are reminders:

• That something joyful happened here.

• That softness came with a little chaos.

• That snacks are never truly tidy—and neither are feelings.
  
  

Mini Blue once arranged the fallen flakes into a spiral and called it “Crumb Art.”
I cried a little. It was beautiful.

🐾 Final Thought:

Sometimes the best bites leave a little mess behind.
So do the best moments.
So do we.

If life gets crumbly, remember this:

You're still whole.
You're still warm.
You're still full of love, even if you're surrounded by snack debris.

Fluffily and flakefully yours,
Doggie 🐶✨
