New 'Weenie" dog

I don't know about your other household members, but mine forgets to put things back where they belong, and leaves things to me.  Yesterday, he got a brand new package of hot dogs out, opened them and took one.   I had gone to mop my bathroom floor, and when I came back into the kitchen, the hot dogs were gone, but the grated cheese was still there.  I peeked in the living room and asked did you put the hot dogs in the fridge.  "NO" I said they are gone, bet Copperhead has them.  Yes he did, and he had managed to eat the most of them before we discovered they were missing.     You have to laugh, and hope they don't make him sick, which they didn't.   I'm guessing we won't have hot dogs for lunch today.

'Tutored' and then company.

We made his appointment, and took him in to get his surgery.  He was not one bit happy to be taken from Dad and out of our sight.  They told us we could pick him up about 3:00pm, and they would call when surgery was over.  He did great, and was ready to come home when we arrived and I don't think he was a bit happy there.  We finally got him into the truck, and when he realized where he was, he laid down in the seat between us, and relaxed until he got home,  Dad took him for a walk around the yard, so he would know where he was and that made him happy.  He came in, got a drink and then some food.   He never acted like he knew there was surgery involved in his 'trip.'

Our grandson, JD loves the Dukes of Hazzard show, he is now 15, but he has watched it, and collected things since he was small.   This weekend, in Gatlinburg TN, Tom Wopat, one of the actors from the show was there, signing autographs and visiting with fans.  JD has autographs of the other actors, so his mom took him to this event.  Yes, his mom drove all the way to Gatlinburg, 9 hrs driving, for him.  I'm sure they are having a great time.  So, while they are gone, Petey, JD's 9 year old dog, gets to stay with us, and he met Copperhead. Considering the difference in size, we were not sure how that would work out, but Petey  introduced himself and out the door they went, together.  Petey weighs about 10 pounds, and I'm guessing that Copperhead is over 40, maybe close to 45.  He whispered to me that they could bring Daisy, their Border Collie, here, and he wold take CP home with him.
