We all traveled up the Boulevard to see da Kat ...
Molly tried out the "chew-proof" Blue Cable tie-out attached to the basketball hoop in the drive;
the Three Amigos wandered the Pharm with the understanding to Stay CLOSE!

I pilled da Kat and decided we'd watch the race on cable ... Opened the back porch door
and *hollered* for the Herd. In due time all three appeared & came in.
Miz Molly was viewed lounging on the driveway.

*click* ... and we gotz NO Dish signal!
Half an hour of *clickin* on two remotes and we STILL had nuffin! NUTZ!
Got the FM radio fired up and found da Race ... this'll have to do.

"HEY DAD! Who do we know wiffa brown head an floppy earz?"
"Yeah - she just looked inna window frumma porch!"

I looke over the porch railing - at the Blue Cable ending in an EMPTY leather collar!
MOLLY! ... COME!

Only took a minute or two of worry till she bounded up the back steps and barged into
the kitchen to join the herd - collarless! I bit my tongue about ditching the collar and
heaped GOOD DAWGs on her for the reasonably good recall.

After the Race we went out and fitted her "Power Steering" collar and practiced
some close order drills in the driveway. She really does pretty well for a novice -
walks quietly at my side with a slack lead. Halt and SIT is a little sloppy ...
the Halt works phine; the automatic SIT is far from automatic!

We headed Home for dinner ...
Outie Tyme - Stay CLOSE (looking rite AT Miz Big Foot) and they all headed out
with nunbuddie *tied*. And Miz BF headed straight toward the road - but veered over
toward the pond ... then alng the bank to the rear ... then across toward the neighbor's place.

MOLLY! ... COME! Never a glance back - dead run around the neighbor's howze!

EVERYONE ~ INSIDE - NOW! ... CINDER - to the Bus - NOW!
We popped the door and fired the Rescue Bus ... we're off!

We were about to turn down the drive towards the street when Cinder hollered:
"HOLD UP,Dad! Check inna naybur's place ... Big Foot headed dis way - FAST!"

Once again, ready to KILL her, I GUD DAWG'd her as we parked da Bus.

Memo to Self!
Hey DUMMIE - TIE the Dawg!


Dinner is ON Board ... all we need is an outie and then BigBed!
