The Case of the Missing Coffee

It was early on Tuesday morning, 0700 to be exact.  The scene of the crime was the bedroom of the victim's residence.  The victim recounts the details as follows:
"My sweet husband brought me a cup of coffee while I was still sleeping.  I was sleeping because I am retired and I can sleep as late as I want!!!  Anyway, he, my husband, was going out early and he brought me a cup of coffee thinking I would be up soon.  I thought I would be up soon, too, but getting out of bed just seemed too much of an effort.  So, I went back to sleep with my 2 dogs keeping my feet warm.  Did I mention my dogs?  They sleep with us every night.  We had to get a king sized bed to make room for all us!  They are just too cute. Oh, okay, I'll get back to facts.  When I did wake up the coffee was cold, so I decided to shower then nuke the coffee so as not to be wasteful.  Which is what I did.  Weeellll, when I went to pick up my cup it was empty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  An entire cup of coffee, gone!!!!!!!!!!!!   Who could have crept into my house and drunk my coffee?????????  What kind of low-life would rob a poor retired woman of her morning coffee?????"
My partner and I discussed possible scenarios.  No fingerprints were found at the scene.  The two dogs had nothing to say when questioned, but one seemed very jittery.  We caution the victim about drinking in bed.  Case closed.
