Dear Aunties, You are NOT going to believe what I'm about to tell you, but it's true. I swear. Yesterday, Mom and Dad took the airplane and went away for almost the entire day and they left me at home. That's bad enough in itself, but they had the audacity to lock me in the garage all by myself. Not exactly. I did have a radio, my futon, my crate, and my water to keep me company. But there was no one there to pet and adore my magnificent self. The reason I was banished is because last week they went to the neighbors for a few hours and whilst they were gone some stranger came into the house, took the lid off the cookie jar and put it on the counter, ate all the cookies, then smashed the cookie jar into a million pieces onto the floor. Well maybe it didn't happen in that exact order, but close enough. At least the lid was OK. But I digress. Back to the garage. Well I didn't think the garage was an appropriate domicile for an Airedale so I went to the door into the house, jumped up and opened the door and walked in. Those nifty lever door handles made it real easy. After I let myself in, I realized that my water bowl was still in the garage. Not a problem. I had three toilets at my disposal. Mom was real surprised to see me in the house when they came home. Good thing I didn't make any messes anywhere. Maybe this will inspire them to put up the fence out back and get my dog door completed. Sometimes I feel like I'm barking up the wrong tree. Love, as always. Your friend, Bert
