As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly

"As a dog returns to his vomit, so fools repeat their folly" Proverbs 26:11
I want to share a rather amusing yet thought-provoking incident that recently unfolded in our household. It involves our beloved dog, Ranger, a bag of chips, and a lesson that resonates far beyond the confines of our dining room.
The Incident
It all began when my wife handed each of our boys a bag of chips for a snack. Little did we know, our dog had his eyes set on one of those bags. In a moment of canine curiosity—or perhaps sheer mischief—he decided to devour an entire bag of chips, plastic wrapper and all.
As we sat down for dinner, the “tranquility” of the evening was abruptly interrupted. Our dog, unable to digest the plastic, threw up the entire bag right there on the dining room floor. It was a scene of chaos, a mix of surprise and a bit of humor, as we scrambled to clean up the mess.
