We left Chester alone in the house all day for his first time, save two short visits by the house sitting service. One can never be sure how a young, bored, and lonely dog will pass the time.<\/p>\n

“Well, would you look at that, a leather wrap around a chair leg. Hmm? Looks positively chew-able.”<\/p>\n

“Or those shoes! They smell like Mom’s feet. Yum yum.”<\/p>\n

“I really do think if I scratch hard enough through the carpet right here I may be able to get into the basement. Perhaps there are treats down there?!”<\/p>\n

“Would you look at that — Drapes! One tug and off the rod they came. Duck Cover and Roll!”<\/p>\n

“What’s this up here on the counter top? A chicken? No, can’t be. But wait, it is. A thawing chicken — Yahoo!”<\/p>\n

And so on…<\/p>\n

Everything was perfect, Rod. I did a walk thru and didn’t find anything of concern. Chester was snoozing on the big pillow under the window when I arrived<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But of course you silly upright, what did you expect<\/p>\n
