Chetspeak on Sunday
Bernie reached out again and … oh, no: gave Napoleon a pat? All that did was make Napoleon growl. A pleasant development, and just in time to stop me from pushing in between. And then Napoleon made an up-from-under head twisting motion and I realized he wanted … more.
“Ooomph,” said Bernie. “Easy there, big guy. Sit down for a minute.”
I sat down, if sitting down could include butt not actually in contact with ground. As for how much time a minute was, my impression had always been hardly any at all.
“Chet! We’re working here.”
This was work? The case had something to do with Bernie patting Napoleon? I wasn’t seeing that, not the least little bit. But it was the kind of thing Bernie would know. I sat back down, my butt practically grazing the ground.

Greetings!
I love the line “butt grazing the ground” too! :^)
A sunny day here in this neck of the woods. The 2 to 5 inches of snow predicted for yesterday did not materialize.
C.Hobbitz: I was laughing at your pictures from yesterday’s post. Who’s a good dog and kitty indeed. :^)
Congratulations to Dr. Joe! He’s the man!
R.I.P. Chuck Berry.

HOH: Wow! Thanx for letting us know!

I’m glad even the Red Lantern made it back in time for the banquet.
Never any eggs here, sniff.

Thanks for the humorous Chetspeak today!
I talked to Staff a couple days ago and she says her paw is doing excellent.
Those pesky commas: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/16/us/oxford-comma-lawsuit.html?emc=edit_cnda_20170318&nl=canada-today&nlid=67633338&te=1
Thanks for the information, HOH.

Dawson, you know an Iditarod reporter’s job is never done. Just ask the foundation dog, Ole Doc, the stability (with sparkles) Belle Starr, the pillar of news, Wee Nigel and the sidekick, Beaumez!
3:47 pm on March 19th, 2017
And Dawson, we like the “thoughtfully and Sparingly”.
3:55 pm on March 19th, 2017
Heh, heh…the Oxford comma.

Staff: Those pin cushions are adorable!

Excitement, Mr. Tom Turkey and his 3 lovely ladies just strolled through our front
yard. The audacity! You would think our peeps fed them or something. Uh? Oh, oh, mom said she and the DDD feed lots of wild critters.
7:01 pm on March 19th, 2017
Waiting for the Live Feed from the Musher’s Banquet!

Same here and we are not happy campers.
7:32 pm on March 19th, 2017
Mom has tried to reach anyone at Iditarod via phone but there are no answers. Handy to have it on a late afternoon Sunday. Don’t know what else to do.
7:50 pm on March 19th, 2017
We are not patient puppies.
7:54 pm on March 19th, 2017

It suddenly came on about 45 seconds ago and is really really noisy.
8:11 pm on March 19th, 2017
BSD, look, they moved the 2 cameras from the burled arch and are now in the civic center, one on the room and one on the stage. A true technological achievement…meow.
And I get to babysit the grand cats this week. Lucky dog!
9:32 pm on March 19th, 2017
BSD, it is back on.

Thanks for the video, HOH.
3:38 am on March 20th, 2017
Thanks for posting that video, HOH. We are wondering why Joe said that line about lots of young people in the room who he is not encouraged by. Or did we hear that incorrectly?
