Stolen dog alert/ An Ode to Boredom/ Great day

June 28 /08

This announcement has been circulating all day and I just picked it up over at Clover's blog. These beautiful terriers were stolen from their home in St-Damien, Quebec and their owner, Therese Szulik, must be sick with worry. What is going on out there? Dogs all over the place are falling victim to some very scary people.

Hopefully, these precious dogs will be returned home safely and the dognappers will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Here are the dogs' identifications:

GOOFY (TATTOO BCL3G FD)

LUCAS (TATTOO BCL2K FD)

MUNSTER (TATTOO BLC16K FD)

SCARLET (TATTOO RZC4L LF)

TROUBLE (TATTOO BCL23N FD)

STAR (MICROCHIP 95600000109561)

They are tattooed on their inner right thighs, and registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. There is a reward for information leading to their safe return.

If you have any information, please contact:

Thérèse Szulik in St-Damien, Québec, Canada

Tel: (450) 835-4699

Please pass this on.

An Ode to Boredom

I waited all week for Saturday,

'Cause Mama's not working. Hurray, Hurray!!!

I really want to go outside,

And go to the dogpark, and then for a ride.

I'm in the mood to play and run.

And jump around under the sun.

But it's icky out there; the park's full of mud.

So today is turning out to be a dud!!

There isn't much that I am doin.'

But layin' around and doin' some chewin.'

Thank goodness, though, for all of yous

Who'll listen to me bark the blues.

Yawn ... Ho hum ... woe is me!!

I'm as bored as I can be.

I'm in a Funk, with a capital F.

Thanks for listening... .Love, Chef.

... So we stayed home most of the day. I took a look out the window and was like, ok, I better not spend too much time outside today.

We did do our walks in the mist, which was actually beautiful. But it sure wasn't a day for running in the dogpark. As you know, I don't tolerate the heat and humidity too well on account of my short coat and my squashed up muzzle making me prone to heatstroke.

.

Anyway, before the downpour, the rain seemed to be suspended in the air. It was damp and foggy and everything was wet even though it hadn't even rained yet. It was very wierd weather, to say the least, but there was something very peaceful about it.

After my walk, I took a snooze and dreamed that I was running wild in the dogpark, and riding in the car with my head out the window at 100k, and playing with all my friends on the lawn - no tie-out, and that Mama went to the pet store and got me a new ball, and a stuffy and a big pig nose, and that I was chasing a bunch of squirrels through the woods, and that I found some huge sticks to put in my collection - which was 20 feet high, and that my Goody package from Beasley arrived, and that I was sniffing around Papa's dock and found treasures everywhere, and that I destuffed all the pillows in the livingroom - plus the couch, and that a truck dumped a ton of cookies on the doorstep, and that I won Best in Show at Westminster, and that I was chewing on a giant steak bone from Rib 'n Reef Restaurant, and that I ate all the flowers in Mama's garden, and that I finally got my new leather collar with my name on it, and that they banned Dremels, and that people understood barktalk, and that Beauty and Rugrat played with me - and didn't spit in my face, and that my tail grew back, and that I was playing frisbee on the mountain with Daniel, and that I had 400 beef patties and ice cream for supper, and that I finally met Sophie Brador and Lola and married them (see how I'm blushing?) and that I backpacked through Europe, and ...

,

It was a very long dream. It took me all afternoon to dream that.

Then I did some serious chewing, as you can see.

Don't I look strange in the picture below? An upsidedown dog is never a handsome thing to see, especially us Boxers, with our hanging, flappy jowls. Here they were actually in my mouth. Geez, it's a good thing I didn't bite myself.

, And did you notice my polka dot pads? Aren't they, like, so manly?

Anyway, so later on, I ate leftover roast chicken and rice off the supper plates, and then Beauty let me lick her and I got her all greasy. Heh!

Hey, it was really a great day!
