Last night I was home uploading some photos to post on PT when the door bell rang. It was my next door neighbor bringing me some fresh made stuffed bell peppers. (Not something I really like but, as my mother taught me, I always rave about them….so she brings me more.) While we were chatting the door behind me was pushed open and there goes Eddie. It was as dark as the inside of your hat in the yard. She offered to help. I asked her to close the gate and run Eddie toward me. She misunderstood (she is from Lithuania) and closed the gate behind her. So I got a flashlight and spent the next 45 minutes walking around the yard, crawling behind and under the bushes, calling for Eddie.
So the neighbors heard me and the husband and wife come back over with another flashlight. They offered to bring Boomer, their black lab…the only dog that has ever bitten me…over to catch Eddie. I declined the offer. Finally, we spotted Eddie. “Oh this is fun! Chase me some more!”
He appeared to want to go in the house. So I went in, grabbed Edwina and handed her to the wife, left the door open and chased Eddie right in the open door.
My favorite line of the whole evening was the wife telling me, as she handed me my sweet little princess back…”She made a noise like a snake!”
Eddie then rolled over and did his “aren’t I the cutest?” routine. And yes, I assured him he is the cutest little boy.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
