As some of you know, there are a number of Chet and Bernie short stories available in digital and audio form. SHORT TAILS, for example, is a collection of 3 of them. None are available in print form – BUT a few copies of the very first one, A CAT WAS INVOLVED (the C&B origin story) were printed for promotional purposes. Recently my office was repainted and although some things have disappeared others have done the opposite. In short, I have a few more copies of A CAT WAS INVOLVED than I’d thought. So how about a little contest, winner selected by the random number generator. Write something short about the funniest thing your dog has ever done. How does that sound? We’ll give this at least a couple of days.

Oh, my. Where to start? I’m sure I’ll think of plenty in the coming days because when it comes to getting an actual print copy of A Cat was Involved I can be very competitive.
Freyja has done some pretty outrageous things. I’m pretty sure she stole a ripe cantaloupe from the garden the first year. The day before I had planned to pick it. Then the following year a ripe cucumber disappeared. Pretty sure that was her as she was given to jumping into the raised bed planter but it is possible that while she stole it, Diana ate it.
The two of them play tag team while hunting mice. In the yard it isn’t so bad but when we were at my parent’s house and they had a rat problem those two were quite the team. More than once I had to move furniture and then there would be a flash of movement and the two of them would be tearing through the living room in pursuit of a rodent, only to have ti disappear under an immoveable entertainment center. Diana is slower than Freyja but the two of them have really worked on their form. Freyja has extremely interested in this hand me down rocker in the living room. I moved it a bit but that didn’t deter her. So I tipped it over and wouldn’t you know a rat leaped out and ran for cover. That chair was moved out of the house and sent to furniture heaven. Recently I was at my parent’s attaching a staghorn fern that had fallen to a new support and my sister and I were hanging it back up. The two dogs were extremely interested in the lawn buddy garden cart. I told my sister there was a rat in there and told her to wheel it a bit farther away from the wall to give the dogs some room. Then open it. The rat jumped practically into Diana’s mouth. She only had to turn her head a bit and snap. She is getting very quick. A little shake of her head and she turned and trotted off with her prize before we could do anything about it. I told my sister to just wait as she would lose interest fast as it “isn’t any fun any more”. Sure enough. Five minutes later my sister told me she had already disposed of the remains. Both of the dogs got bully stick rewards, even Dolly who did nothing.
