While we pronounce the 't' in ACT, we often omit it in ACTS. The omission of a sound is referred to as elision and can be seen in other words such as history ('histry') and mathematics ('mathmatics'). Note that once again there is the 'st' combination in APOSTLES causing a silent 't' in that word also.
From what I can surmise, this is what happened. The container of dog kibble has a snap-on top and I keep it under the to-go table near the dog's dish. Dunder decided it smelled good. He worked at it and finally got the top off. Then he put his head into the opening, realized instantly that he was now stuck and jumped back to extract himself. Right behind him was the dog's water dish. I came into the scene when there was a loud commotion and Dunder went streaking past me. Water was all over the floor and splashed up onto the wall. The dog kibble container was on it's side some distance away and the top open. I suppose there are other scenarios but that one seems the most probable.

I have noticed, in your blogs, that Dunder is usually the troublemaker/instigator. This little one may need a time out and have to sit in the naughty corner for awhile. LOL.
