This and That and Teka's great xcape

TADA...Muzzer and Dad and Teka and I are staying over at our Max and Ruby's house, while they are on vacation. Because Muzzer has packed so many boxes you can get lost in the maze over at our real house. We will have some photos taken today when the big truck came, but we are working at one of Dad's offices at the Unibercity. Because Max and Ruby had their internet turned off, or think maybe they did, so we are really in bad withdrawal stage.

OK, so since Dad is being nice to Muzzer and helping her through this withdrawal thing, we have been able to read blogs and e-mail.

BUT...because Dad can only be so nice and let Muzzer use his puter for (relatively) short time spans, we must rush to read and see, and we have no time left for answering or commenting, almost.

SO, we know about Tanner and the Vet, and Stella's Barkday, and maple bacon iceCream that E.Rabbit made ( and didn't share) and Lovely Cassidy beating the wykf out of her bruzzer at the dog show, and the Ice Cream that the Brat Pack got, and Maggie and Mitch and Buster and his truckies and Faya and her wonderful weekend. BUT...we haven't left messages like we usually would, hoping to get through all this doggie stuff and 150 emails for Muzzer since Saturday.

Not to mention my own pile from all you wonderful friends.

SO, we will be back on line as soon as we can, from the road, with pictures and stuff. Until then, we are one of those visitors who show up on your counter every day, and we love you lots.



NOW... on to Teka's great Xcape! This morning Muzzer went to our own house to baby sit the movers and make sure they did not take all my toys. So me and Teka stayed home and had bananannnaas with Dad. And then Me and Teka went out onto the patio and did not jump into the pool. We chased and chased. Then we went to work on the gate. Teka said she knew she could get out of there and 'splore the neighbors yards. I thought it sounded like fun, so I maybe helped a little bit.

We moved some stuff that Dad had used to block the gate and then ZIP! Teka was out of there in a flash. Oh my. I barked and barked so Dad would come and check. He thought me and Teka were playing a game with him, so he checked the pool (we cana't go in without a hooman) and he checked under the bushes and alllll over. And I stood by the gate and barked at him.

FINALLY he realized Teka was not in the yard. Sheesh! And he completely panicked, and he got in the gussiemobile and went to look for her, but he didn't take me.

He was really worried. This house backs up on South Mountain, and when you are in the BACK, you are only a golfing green away from coyotes and bobby cats and mountain lines that go GRRRRRR. And sometimes people can lose their pets, because those other not pet animals come into the yard and SNATCH the little doggies or the kitties. Chomp. A mouthful of Teka, down to the tummy.

BUT...Teka was lucky. She must have decided she was losted, because when Dad got down to the next circle he saw her go WHOOSH across the street in front of him. So he parked the gussiemobile and got out and called her. She only made him chase her for a block and a half before she turned around and came running to him. Whew. What a relief.

I asked her why she did not wait for me, Gussie so I could gbark at the not pet animals and scare them away. She said I was too fat to get through the gate, so she didn't wait for me. Some gratitude, I may have knocked over the flower pot, but does she say thank you. NOOOO

We thought she had gotten away with her adventure, but , this afternoon, both of us had to go to PetDumb and get a bath and brush and stuff. I think this is not fair, because I did not run away, she did, and even if I maybe helped a little, I didn't leave and I barked at Dad to get him to know she was gone.

Life is so unfair.

Kisses to all
Gussie
