Cheez-it and the case of the mysterious random objects
I was minding my own this evening, watching the rest of the "Planet Earth" series on Discovery (It is an awesome documentary, watch it asap), when I hear this noise that sounds vaguely like insects swarming. Only inside the house! So I jump up and pan the room for Cheez-it's happenings and he isnt around. I glance down and there he is at my feet in a play-induced coma. I followed the sound to the kitchen, there is a giant beetle making sweet love to the lightbulb. Sort of odd, it's the sort of thing you think you would hear sneak in through an open door. I handled the matter and retired back to the documentary.
My somewhat-significant other (and surfing partner) came over shortly there-after. I had another 15 minutes left on the show so she took Young-Cheezey (Thats his gangsta name) outside. They came in and instead of the usual "walk to the treat bowl", he darted off into another room and then appeared back in view. I thought nothing of it really, mabye he thought something was intresting in there then changed his mind.
Literally seconds later the open air is accompanied by that same frenzied insect-sound. We went to investigate, I was checking near the lighting and windows and Sarah called for me to "come take a look". Naturally I did, and I was a bit shocked at what she found. In a little spot behind a couch-back and the wall was another beetle. This one a war-victim, he seemed to have been missing a couple legs. He was flailing about on the carpet in a small stock-pile of various this-and-thats.
A small collection of Sticks, some dead-leaves, a single rock, a pile of tree-moss, the still lively beetle and a sadly dead stickbug! Yes a freaking stickbug!
I have yet to solve this mystery, but you can bet I am going over the facts as we speak. I have my theories as to the identity of the mastermind behind this, I'm taking the facts and building a hard case. I still lack evidence, but I am sure some will show face.
Any clues as to how this happened? I couldnt help but laugh.
Cheez-it has a solid alibi, but I'm not sure she's a credible character.
He must have been at this for some time, and I NEVER noticed, he must keep it hidden in his mouth until it's safe to go stash it. Now I'm going to have to start checking his mouth!

Heehee! That's hilarious...the Cheez-it stash. Charlie brought in a bunch of whole pecans last fall, that I didn't see in his mouth until he dropped them on the recliner. He is also quite the bug connosieur. His favor after-dinner mint is a young crispy cricket, which is to be totally consumed. June bugs, on the other hand, are like bubble gum. They are to be chewed up, then spit out. I guess the flavor doesn't last very long.
Thanks for yet another entertaining story from the life and times of Young-Cheezy. : - )

Ha ha Sam! CSI Corgi - I love it!
My little thief usually steals school papers ("the dog ate my homework, a cliche come true) or junk mail. And he steals the old dogs' treats when they have an Alzheimer's moment and hides them in the sofa. Tricksy little hobbit!

That's hilarious! Cheez-it is just to trying to prepare for the worse! Its a stockpile, in case the world comes to an end, he'll be prepared with lots of dead insects, rocks, and grass...just in case you need them. :) What a helpful little devil!

That doesn't surprise me! Penelope always comes back in with patches of grass in her mouth, and she was attacking this very large roach outside last night, yuck! I just really hope she doesn't bring anything like that inside. Gotta love the many insects of south Louisiana...*gross*!

Ah yes, our mighty hunters....soon he will graduate to lizards and go on his own great safari in the yard. Some merely chase and play with them.....the more serious minded feel the need to dismantle or skin them. I have a few of each. Sounds like you are having a great time with your boy....
