Well, today we went for a walk at a rather unusual time for Cheez. This time during the day the lawn people and other city workers are about and I usually time it so that Cheez-it is inside to escape the over-excitement. Unfortunately today he had to go out, so we went for a walk as it was such a nice day. We reach a point down the street where a little construction has been going on the last few days. There are various piles of wood, blocks, and other this-and-thats laying about. Next to the pile, trash containers for each material. About half way to the area a garbage truck pulls up to a bin and Cheez-it takes intrest. I stopped and had him sit to watch what they were doing from a good safe distance, let him get used to things going on around him. Well people got out and directed the truck to the bin of stuff. I could see the thoughts racing through Cheez-it's mind. "Do they want to play?", "do they have any food?", "are they intrested in playing frisbee?". Well they kept about their business and the truck latched to the stuff-bin. It lifted to the top of the truck and the bin hovered over the open-end of the dump-truck type rear. Cheez-it was amazed at this feat of strength. But then the bin tipped, and in slow motion Cheez-it did a little side-flip turned away to flee, but it was too late. The trash started pouring into the bed of the truck. There was a loud crash and trash was making every noise imaginable almost as if they were dumping a bucket of comical music notes. He started running but the leash hindered his speed and he ended up sort of clawing his path forward. No big deal right? Well, pooping the entire way!! I am sure everyone has heard the term "scared **less" or "That scared the ** out of..", well aparently that portion of americal vernacular holds roots from reality. I had to bathe him when we got home, he was exceptionally distraught from this random spot bathing. I could tell he was wondering what he did wrong to deserve such a fate.
He is drying while resting on the cool tile floor. He has been doing that alot lately but only when I am in the kitchen or something. I think I am going to tile his kennel floor this weekend. I'm pretty sure he will enjoy that, and while it will decrease the mobility of the kennel, I never move it anyway. That is what travel kennels are for. Anyone see any issue with tiling the plastic lining of the kennel???
