Puppy Tales

Earlier this week it rained all day. While I sat at the computer,Chet slipped out into the backyard. He quietly worked on digging a hole to China and had gotten as far as Kazakhstan before I realized he was AWOL. . .

Chet here--under the desk is where I spent a lot of time the day after the digging lapse. "Lapse" is what my namesake, Chet the detective dog in the Chet and Bernie mysteries (really great reads if you haven't heard about them), calls those incidents. Personally, I'd never heard of that word before, but think it would be great for my next Scrabble game. Should be a high scorer based on how much fun that mud wrestling thing was.

Oh, a final thought. You know I think my new Roommate is a gem--lots of treats, walks, loving--but can you believe she turned the water hose on me after taking that first photo? You can bet I hollered loud enough to make the neighbors come out to see if she was killing me! We're friends again though. In fact, when I'm not blogging I sleep on her foot under this same desk.

  9. I'm glad you caught Chet before he got any further on his trip to China. He's definitely a cutie, and I'm glad you two are now friends again.

  11. My husband wants to know if cutie-pie Chet is a pointer? (I had to call him in here to look at your post!)

  12. Marie-Chet is a rescue. His mother is a border collie, dad a husky/Australian shepherd mix. I'm not seeing any of those breeds in him. He's very interested in birds and will lift a paw and go into almost a "point". He also listens to them. Right now, at almost 4 months, I'm thinking crocodile. :-)
