CSI: Turbo



We have a mystery on our paws! Someone chewed through my show lead yesterday. Sure, I don't need it because I'm not a show dog, but THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT! Before my Human went to her job yesterday, I was escorted to my box to spend a few hours. When she returned at lunch time, my lead was in tatters. I couldn't see who had destroyed my property. I know that I didn't do it, so now I have to deduce who it was. Everyone is a suspect at this time.

D. Animal: I don't think that the stupid vacuum did it for a couple reasons. 1) It was in the same room as me and never left, & 2) It's more into scheming and cleaning up all traces of evidence than destruction.

My Human: She seemed surprised that it was chewed up when she got home. Might have been an act, but I don't think she did it. Her teeth are rather dull.

Lex: He is always stupid and therefore always a suspect. But he's been spending a lot of time in my Human's bedroom moping. The lead was in the livingroom. I hate to admit it, but I don't think he did it.

Aurora: I am eliminating her from the pool of suspects. She was in her box next to me at the time of the crime.

Niki: It's possible, but I've never seen her destroy anything. She loses interest before something is completely trashed.

That leaves us with 2 prime suspects. Both of whom have been known to destroy items.

Misha: He has a history of wanton destruction. He has been seen happily destroying books, toys, and many, many other things.

Fargo: The key evidence that I have against him is that a few months ago he ate a small leather leash. When my Human came home from work that day, she discovered that only the buckle remained. She knew it was Fargo when the very next day this same leash came out of Fargo in several small pieces.

I don't have enough evidence at this time for a search warrant, but I am pretty sure it was Fargo who did it. I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open.

Yum!

Add watermelon to the list of foods that I like. On the recommendation of Dave, I had my first watermelon this weekend. And I loved it! My Human gave each of us some, but I liked it best.


Fargo's kind of weird when he is given something new to eat. He will carefully smell it. Then he may take it to be polite, but he will only eat it if it meets with his approval. He did not like watermelon.

Speaking of treats, Lex had to go to the vet yesterday. He said that the vet told my Human that he has to go on a diet. He also said that the vet and my Human talked about me being "newtered." Is that when a dog gets turned into a newt? I don't know if I like that. Lex laughed at me when I asked that. So I stomped my foot and yelled at him!

Cowboy



This photo is one of Fargo's favorites. And this is why he got the nickname "Cowboy." My Human took Fargo to get his picture taken around Halloween (Howloween?) in 2001. He got this picture taken the same weekend that he tested for and got his Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Fargo is a good dog in public, but he has a really ornery side in private. If I'm in my box and my Human tries to go get some attention from Lex, the ever vigilant Fargo will sneak up on her and bite her butt. Not enough to hurt, but enough to startle her.
