Oh dear. Please don't give Chet any more corn cobs. Some friends of mine lost their sweet dog this winter when he ate some decorative corn in their garden center that had developed some mold.

Love your Chet posts, and Chet! They crack me up. I wish my Trout Lily could meet him; I'm sure they'd hit it off.

I did not know that bunnies take dust baths! Here all along I was thinking it was birds "dusting" and keeping the grass from growing on those spots where the mole dug last year... Thanks for the info.

So has Chet ever caught any wild creatures in your yard or is his thrill in the chase only?

Daisy's reading this, feeling a bit sad that she has no large yard in which to run and do amazing manuevers. But that's what grandma's house is for, I guess.

(We've trained our yard bunneh to eat just the grass and dandelions. Once in awhile she nibbles on my blue drinking gourd hosta, but mostly, it's the lawn. Now if I could only keep the squirrels from tearing off my sunflower heads...)

I can see I am training your readers well! Thanks, Wendi, for the finger-shaking over the corncob. You are right, swallowing a chunk of corncob can cause a REALLY nasty blockage of the small intestine, and is a not-uncommon foreign body.

Gnawing on it and shredding it, even eating little bits wouldn't cause any problems (unless the dog had a food allergy to corn) but once a dog gets a taste for something, he take more risks in his chewing behavior.

Gee, I don't even have to post to have my presence felt. I feel Omnipotent!

We need Chet here at our house. The squirrels are too fast for Nellie, even if I give her a head start.
Retriever/Rott/Sheps are not built for speed. More like dumb, brute strength.

Oh, crumb --- probably the same meme thingy I left a note about after Phoebe's Happy Birthday post.

Maybe I can claim partial tagging points. If it's the Eight Random Facts meme, I'm going to pretend I was involved.

I love Chet.

Julie,

I just tagged you to do a silly meme. I know you are an ant-type blogger with a backlog of saved posts already, but if you care to consider it, check out my post dated today. :o)

I disapprove of the tone this blog has taken.

This is just so cool..seeing Chet on patrol around your yard and hearing all about his adventures!
And your flowers and gardens are so pretty! Loved seeing the pictures!

Thanks for the Chet fix this morning! I loved the picture of him with the dirty nose on the stone wall. What a cutie he has become and Offisa Pup rocks bunnehs like his mom and grandma rock groundjockies (chipmunks).

2007-07-13T08:44:00.000-05:00

Dear Wendi,

Thanks for your concern on the corncob. He dug this one up a few days later and I watched him chew it to pieces, because I was a little concerned about it (without knowing the specifics as you've told them). He spit each piece out. Chet does not, as a rule, consume what he chews, but I know there are always exceptions. So that was his first and last corncob. I guess I'll have to get my bottom ready for a KatDoc spanking.

Ooooh, Julie, you're gonna hear from KatDoc about ...

2007-07-13T07:47:00.000-05:00

Ooooh, Julie, you're gonna hear from KatDoc about letting dogs chew on corn cobs. A determined chewer can do himself some severe internal damage consuming corncobs...they create blockages and need surgical intervention (I know several retrievers and a shepherd who've needed to have expensive corn cob removal operations). Don't let this happen to Offisa Pupp...!
And didn't anybody else pick up on the "silent but deadly" reference?!
:) Wendi

Hey, I remember Krazy Kat! Or did it morph into Felix the Cat on tv in the 60s? I loved that cartoon when I was quite young. In fact, I received a huge stuffed mouse one year for Christmas and I named him Ignatz!

Great photos of Chet on patrol. It is amazing to see dogs stalking bunnies & sometimes getting them. Our bunnies do the same taunt--wait just long enough then take off. I swear I see little bunny tongues sticking out going ppppfffftttt!

2007-07-12T19:43:00.000-05:00

YOU are hilarious. Offisa Pupp looks grand during his duties and determined to earn "attaboys". My goodness, I love him.

I need to brag a bit - Chloe (intense, like Offisa Pupp) was *never* without jangles and managed to stalk silently, patiently, excellently, and with precision in nailing two bennehs and all sorts of prey during her early yars.

Now the old gal can't see them. So, Enjoy! And love every day of his youthful enthusiasm.
