Wisdom bringeth much Worry

After hanging up the phone, I decided to take the doggies for a late walk. Rosco wanted to charge ahead, but Fips was doing his ultra-local plus stops. (Michael thinks I need to walk the doggies more but, it's not always my fault.) And so, not much past Peanuts's house and after not much of a walk, we returned home. Fips immediately returned to his sulking spot where he had been most of the night.

At last, I figured it out. He was parking himself where I had stacked three boxes of doggie mush. This time, I caught him just looking at the cans ... before he looked up at me with his worried "don't take my bone look". Can you believe it? He's guarding his food. How long is THIS going to last? All month? Jeeezus. He's such a smart dog. No smell, nothing but "cans" which he knows contain food. HIS food. Alas ...smarts doth not for happiness make...

Poor doggie.

Connections

I was sitting in my office, feet on desk, handset to ear and vaguely looking through the French doors when.... "Gotta go! Later!" {click}

Sorry about the disconnect.

Yes, Rosco escaped, in literally a split second. I just saw him and then I didn't. I grabbed my keys and dashed for the truck, barking at Fips to hurry UP! Anyways, after a drive down Hilderbrand, a drive down Mirabel and again down Hilderbrand I finally found him, making his oversexed way to the bitch in heat.

I was at once relieved and filled with an urge to throttle him. The little coot looked back, saw the truck and came around to the open driver's side door; as if ... Oh well, I'm being picked up now.

"Ooooh Rosci!" I squealed, "goooo boy. C'mon up!"

These escapades are SOOOO unnerving. He's so small, I worry cars won't see him. Even when I have a good idea where he is headed I have to drive slow in case he darts out from some roadside bush. Running over your own dog would be a nightmare. Last year, he headed down toward Mirabel/Hwy 29, as I started out after him, I saw a car stopping in the distance. Heart thumps. I thought they had just run him over. Actually they were stopping to try to stop him.

Anyways, he's back now and tied up.
