Mission Accomplished!

First of all...I did not break the stove! That is a base canard, perpetrated by my competition for steak burgers. That item out of the way, I was sitting and waiting for my dad to come home early this evening. See my spiffy new plaid collar? Dad finally arrived, and as soon as he saw the stove sitting in the middle of the room, he KNEW we were headed for Steak n Shake for dinner! No one can deny that is one intelligent gentleman.

We all got into the white Gussiemobile and headed down Big Bend to the closest (3.5 miles) Steak n Shake. It was not a long drive, by my standards, but I was quivering with anticiapation. Muzzer and Dad went in to place our order, Steak n Shake no longer has car hops and we don't do drive through windows because a certain, ahem, anxious terrier once tried to enter a hamburger joint through the drive through window.
Muzzer and Dad brought my dinner out ! Half a double steak burger, nekkid! Hold most of the bun and no pickles. Of course, the china supplied by Steak 'n Shake is very basic, but the food is excellent.

It took me about 17 seconds to get to this point. Yummy Yummy, and well worth waiting for, though I don't know why I had to. Now I must get the humans to an ice cream store! Ah, the tasks of a terrier never end!

Gussie,

Plaid collar. Steak burger. Outdoor dining. You are finally getting what you deserve and what you had been expecting all those weeks before the trip.

If steak is served, can ice cream be far behind?

We do have one question: how do you get to go out with just a collar and no harness? Have you learned not to pull your humans beyond their ability to keep up with you, thereby causing extreme pressure on your throat? If you have, Mom says we need lessons. She has given up the struggle.

We must say you are one handsome dude!! Happy adventures.

Jake and Just Harry

"... a certain, ahem, anxious terrier once tried to enter a hamburger joint through the drive through window."

hehehe... this must be carved in stone and handed out to every new terrier to remind us that this IS how a terrier should behave, lest the mommies hoomanise us!

i hope you're enjoying your new neighbourhood! sent your pee-mails yet to everyone there yet?
