EMERGENCY! The Hot Dogs are missing!

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BLOG!

The Hot Dogs are MISSING!

About two weeks ago, Tonya and I were at the Supercenter Wal-Mart in Sydney.  I seen that they had this BBQ pack for $25.00.  So I put it in the cart.  

It has 6 Hamburgers.  6 Chicken breasts and 16 Hot Dogs.  

I figured that I would cook the hamburger and the chicken first and come back for the hot dogs.

When I came back inside the house with the finished Hamburgers and Chicken.  I turned to pick up the plate of hot dogs.  Wait, I'm SURE I put the hot dogs right there.

WHERE IS MAX?  He's gone.  I found him hiding in the living room.

Max would have jumped up on the counter and ate 16 raw hot dogs.  Not ON the counter, but his front paws on the counter and back legs on the floor.

I didn't scold him, as it would have been about 20 to 25 minutes since he would have ate the hot dogs.  He wouldn't understand why he was being scolded.  But he knew he screwed up as he was hiding from me.

I got another package of hot dogs from the freezer and cooked them up.

I was going to leave the cooked Hamburgers and Chicken on the stove.

But then it dawned on me.  If he jumped up on the counter to get the hot dogs, what would stop him from jumping up and getting the other stuff from the stove top.

So I put them in the microwave while I went outside to cook the new batch of hot dogs.

When I came in, I found Max in this position.

Obviously he's full.

The hot dogs have been found.

Case closed.

12/Aug/17 are we going for a walk or what

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

This is two days in a row that I haven't gone for a walk.  Tonya told the Big Guy to bring me for a walk in the morning when it's cool outside.

He's got a few chores that he wants to get done today, but after that, I think it will be walk time.  I think he also wants to use the cell phone to track his walk.  I think he wants to add another block to his long walk.  He's going to kill me with these LONG walks.  But it's good for him too.  So it's win win for everyone.

The Big Guy wants to move his pile of cut wood to the area by the garage.  Tonya was asking if she could donate his wood to a family that needs it for heat this winter.  I think the Big Guy is re-thinking his answer and will donate the wood.  He said that he is going to keep some of it and put it in the garage out of the weather.  That means he will have to move stuff around again in the garage.  That always makes him wonder why he is keeping so much stuff.

A few weeks ago, we got some hail that fell during one of the thunder storms that blew though.  The Big Guy was looking at the roof of his gazebo and he's been wondering about the round spots on the roof.  Turns out, the hail punched through the first layer of the carbon fiber roof.  He said that the corner pieces are fine, but wonders if a new roof could be fabricated that would withstand the snow load.

That will certainly be a project for another day.

Tonya told the Big Guy to trim back and remove the flower beds that's next to the deck.  I reach through and eat the flowers and other bushes that I can get to.  She is wondering if that's why I'm sick so much.  It could be.  What do you think?

Bye bye for now.

11/Aug/17 did I hear a cheese wrapper

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

It was really warm out yesterday.  I was so happy to be in my little pool.

The Big Guy did some chickenburgers on the grill yesterday.  Oh how they smelled so delicious.  Tonya didn't even give me a morsel of it.  Not even a little bite.

We didn't go for a walk cause of the heat.  Humans can sweat.  But even though Tonya can sweat, she doesn't like it when she does.  Then there is the Big Guy, he doesn't mind the heat so much.  But he really hates the cold.

I seen the Big Guy getting out his drill yesterday and he fixed up this bench.  So now he has two benches for when he is doing his BBQ.  How he loves to BBQ.

I know that the Big Guy would really love to make some new chairs for his front deck.  The ones that are there, they are starting to show their age.

The Big Guy also had to remove the screen from the front door.  I crashed into it and bent the frame a bit.  He said no more screen until I can stop being a puppy.  Of course he compares me to their previous dog, Sebastian.  He was a good dog for some things, but then not so nice for other stuff.  He didn't like other dogs at all.

The Big Guy is thinking about his chain saw.  He's got to fix it again.  The chain fell off the guide and he's got to take care of this tree that is between his property and Lorne's.  But to get to it, he has to go through Jim's yard.  I hope he wears his boots when he takes the tree down.

Bye bye for now.

10/Aug/17 you woke me up for this

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

You can see the wall behind my bum.  The previous dog that lived here, he wore off the paint on that wall.  He used to lay there all the time.  Now, this is where I lay, all the time.  The Big Guy says that he is going to paint that wall, but that would mean that I can't lay there for about a day while the paint cures.  I guess he's going to continue waiting to paint that wall.

I think that the Big Guy and Tonya are both trying to walk me into the ground.  Another BIG walk yesterday.  But the weather was nice and I was feeling better.

When we got home, the Big Guy opened the door to the deck and I ran outside and just stood in my little pool for about five minutes.  My paws needed to be soaked.  It felt so good!

Tonya and the Big Guy had their supper on the back deck last night.  They had some pan fried salmon.  Tonya put a couple pieces of hard cheese in the salad and she shared a few pieces of this cheese with me.

The Big Guy is pretty sure that he's got two rats nest on his property.  He got another rat yesterday in the rat trap that he's got set up.  He thinks that he may have to go to Co-op and get some heavy duty rat poison to take care of them.  He doesn't want me to get into the nests and discover the poison, so he has to be SUPER careful with any plans he makes.  He could also just bring out the garden hose and fill up their holes with water and see how many of them come out.  He said that he has to think this through first.

The Big Guy ordered some new pants from Amazon and they should be arriving today.  He's pretty happy that he will be putting his 5XL pants away.  He said that he will be putting them away FOREVER.  He is so encouraged by the weight he is loosing.

Bye bye for now.
