As usual we were up at 04:30AM and the coffee was hot and ready, my bride and I had a cup and sooner than wanted it was time for her to head to the truck company and then the restaurant.
It’s been cloudy and threatening rain all day, didn’t get anything outside accomplished, but Rigg’s managed to give me a scare.
I had gone into my room for an hours nap and when I came out Sadie was by the kitchen door doing her spins that she does when she has to go out and pee. After I put her out I thought usually as soon as Rigg’s hears the door open he comes running too. So I thought I ‘ll bet he’s snoozing on the couch ,went in the family room and no Rigg’s, I then thought I would check the basement to see if he had gotten down there somehow although he doesn’t like going down steps, no Riggs’ I checked the upstairs sewing room ,no Rigg’s. Now I am beginning to worry, I checked the bedrooms and then even went out the back outside and called and he had not gotten out somehow. I went back in the house and called again and then I heard a little scratching noise in the hallway, I then noticed the hall bathroom door was closed, it was locked, when I opened it you know who came flying out, he had gotten in and managed to lock himself inside. Have to admit I was more than beginning to worry. I don’t let him run loose although yesterday when I went to bring him in from his run he had about 3 feet of cable hanging from his collar where it had broke, and had still stayed for who knows how long in his area without wandering off. I made a run to Petsmart to buy him a new cable.
Donna thought you would like this, since I’m not a big card shark I don’t understand it.
Rigg’s and Sadie & I are anxiously awaiting the arrival Of Nicole home from school. That always adds some life to house and it add’s fun to the Mutso’s routines.
That’s about it for today, I hope everyone in blogland is having a good week. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna..
I was beginning to panic along with you about Riggs. Our Scootz got under the house one time and wouldn't come when we called. Took us a couple of hours to find her and I was an absolute mess. By the way - this getting up every morning at 4:30 is starting to do me in. lol
ReplyDeleteHow the Heck did Rigg manage to LOCK himself in the bathroom..That door HAD to be locked..Hey, he's Riggins the Wonder Dog...he could have turned the nob with his tongue and gotten out if it wasn't locked, right??
ReplyDeleteHow well I remember when the kids were little I would go in the bathroom, lock the door and have a FEW minutes to myself. Could Riggs have needed his own few minutes away from Sadie?
ReplyDeleteDonna's funny made me chuckle. Please thank her for that! Glad Riggs was okay. Hope the rest of your week is terrrific!
ReplyDeleteIt's awful how your heart jumps clear up into your throat when something like that happens. Been there, done that!!! Glad he was fine maybe he had to have a tinkle in the night...LOL.
ReplyDeleteDonna, I liked the card joke!
ReplyDeletelove the card joke!!..now as for Riggs locking himself in to the bathroom?..our cat does that..he has a thing about closing doors and has gotten himself into a 'pickle' a few times..doing that when no one is home..there he is stuck in the dark in the bathroom...one bathroom has his food and the other the litter box!..silly cat!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a funny one, Donna! Glad Riggs was found - maybe he just wanted privacy for doing his business.
ReplyDeleteOur neighbor's dog, on a leash, spotted a deer. The owner couldn't grab the leash. "Magee" was gone for 6 days, dragging his leash behind him when he finally showed up. It was amazing that he made it back alive - we have gators, wild boar, coyotes, etc.
Give Riggs a hug from Annie and Buddy.
