Chetspeak on Sunday
“Right,” Suzie said. “But the leash is non-negotiable.” She popped open the glove box and took out the leash she’d kept just for me back when she was still in the Valley. I was kind of surprised to see it was still there, also not that happy about it. Suzie smiled and gave me a quick scratch between the ears, not hard enough but blissful just the same. “Come on, Chet. I know you can do it.”
We got out of the car. Suzie came forward with the leash. Of course I could do it! And not only that, I could do it like you’ve never seen.
“Chet?”
Yes, that was me, pure and simple. At the moment I appeared to be I wriggling around the parking lot on my back, just one of my tricks, and one that happened to scratch all the itches Suzie hadn’t taken care of.

Good morning and Happy Chetspeak Sunday.
Nice quiet day today, after a couple of busy days.
Walkies on the agenda and a trip to pick up some food for the two leggeds and four leggeds.
Rose, did you receive our check? I think it was mailed at least a week ago.
7:34 am on October 26th, 2014
Good morning B&M&L and all! Whoo hoo, Sunday and Chetspeak. Here Darah has been telling us about her lessonns at “good behavior” class. YAWN Sure we can all behave but where is the fun in that?
The DDD is a mechanical kind of guy, hence he did the truck thing.
Happy Chetspeak, happy Egg Day, happy Sunday. Life is GOOD and we are the tip toppiest. Have a super 5 buck truck Sunday!
7:41 am on October 26th, 2014
Good morning to everyone.
I love Chet.
HOH: I hope we are all tip toppiest today!
7:42 am on October 26th, 2014
BB: Let’s all hope for tip toppy and grrrrrrrrrreat!
8:44 am on October 26th, 2014
Good morning all. Sure hope we hear something about truck negotiations today.
8:45 am on October 26th, 2014
For some reason I don’t remember this part of Paw and Order. (Way to go Chet!)
Good morning all.
8:46 am on October 26th, 2014

Just looking at the 5 buck truck doners is exciting! GO SNOWHOOK!
9:26 am on October 26th, 2014
Bee, I think that scene was when Suzie took Chet back to the office building where Eben was murdered. Is that correct?
9:27 am on October 26th, 2014
Way to go Sharon!
9:46 am on October 26th, 2014
Barb: Yes, the scene is on page 33.
9:48 am on October 26th, 2014
B&M&L, we didn’t tell the HOH that there are no new treaties for 2 weeks 🙁
9:57 am on October 26th, 2014
If anyone hasn’t read the 4 updates on the 5 buck truck site, please do so. Rebecca and AJ are wonderful. Glad they are the heart and soul of this here blog.
10:41 am on October 26th, 2014
Happy Egg Day. We Howlers finally got our much-deserved eggs, and the ‘rents had to eat yogurt.
Here is the cartoon version of me me me that Pop’s friend made.
10:43 am on October 26th, 2014
Oh, Kat, you are a b-B-BEAUTY.
10:47 am on October 26th, 2014
Kat – everyone who sees that will want a Kat costume for Halloween instead of the Ice princess from Frozen.
Besides, your eyes are much prettier.
11:11 am on October 26th, 2014
Happy Chetspeak Day Everyone!
Kat, That is very cute.
Waiting on dog truck news.
11:18 am on October 26th, 2014

Latest Report…No Truck Purchase…Yet.
12:26 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rebecca puts up such good, happy pictures of the Snowhook Dogs. Her pictures always make me smile.
They will find the right truck. It is just a matter of time.
12:28 pm on October 26th, 2014
WoooHooo!!!
The 5 Buck Truck fund is growing by leaps and bounds…thanks, in part, to Wookie&Teddy’s Dad, Turtleman Fred, HOH’s Mom, TC, and others.
12:38 pm on October 26th, 2014
That’s a kool drawing, Kat.
T&G: About Gramp…how is his sore foot feeling this morning?
12:38 pm on October 26th, 2014
and how is your mama’s brother doing in rehab?
12:59 pm on October 26th, 2014
3505!!…snort!…Turtleman just helped put them over the 3500 mark! Plus a whole lot of other guys and gals…chuffle!….This is amazing!….WOOOO!
1:01 pm on October 26th, 2014
Kat!…Wow!…What a great drawing of yourself!! ….wheeze!…That would be a great Auction Item – not your drawing per say, but the opportunity to bid on a chance to have that artist draw one of us!…heh!heh!
1:03 pm on October 26th, 2014
Ooops!…I guess they hit the 3505 mark about 47 minutes ago. I forgot to refresh the Five Buck Truck page….heh!heh!
1:05 pm on October 26th, 2014
Our Giant and our Lady had a disappointing, frustrating, fruitless day at the dealer. Earlier in the week, they were told a certain price for a new truck. They drove into town yesterday to purchase said truck only to have the dealer not honor that price. Three hours and being on the receiving end of lies despite our paperwork later the Giant and our Lady walked away. The search continued with nothing to show for it.
They arrived home late list night only to be surprised by the growth of the Five Buck Truck fund! Yeep! Thanks to all youse and many others! Sniff!
We have been instructed by our Lady that we are not to steal any trucks for the team. However, when we do finally add the four-wheel member to our team, we plan on riding in it like we stole it.
1:12 pm on October 26th, 2014
Thieves! We all are Looking Forward to that day! It is Coming Soon.
That Dishonest Car Dealer would do well to remember: What comes around, Goes around.
1:18 pm on October 26th, 2014
If I ever get to travel Way Up North to Alaska, a certain truck dealer’s pantleg will be firmly in my mouth.
1:29 pm on October 26th, 2014
Hey Rio! Did you see what my name now stands for? Tee hee! Beat that, Pug!
1:34 pm on October 26th, 2014
Pondering…If Someone Here watches the game will the Hawkes Win?
No Jinxes Please!
1:38 pm on October 26th, 2014
It would be funny if the Plunderers going north this spring would visit the dealer, acting like we were gungho for a purchase, and then walk out on him.
1:40 pm on October 26th, 2014
adding on our way out the door that we had heard around town he cannot be trusted to keep his word.
1:43 pm on October 26th, 2014
A certain car dealership needs to be reported to the Better Business Bureau and maybe even mentioned on social media.
Remember the frustration I had with the “crew” who sealed my crawlspace and attic? I noticed last week that my fiberglass step ladder, industrial broom and oversized aluminum dustpan were missing from my garage. I called the company to see if they had taken them in error at the end of the day. I was called the next day and told that they had found the ladder. They apologized and said they would return it. On Friday I called and said I needed my ladder because I was painting an apartment this weekend. I did not get the ladder back. So at 5′ tall, I have painted 6′ of the walls and the final 2′ will have to wait. More frustration. I priced getting another ladder but I don’t need two ladders, I just need one.
2:05 pm on October 26th, 2014
Sounds like there are a lot (at least 2) disreputable businesses Way Up North. If you post their names, I will see to it that Mommy posts about them on facebookie.
2:07 pm on October 26th, 2014
C.Hobbit: Sounds like a Perp to me.
Good Grief! Didn’t they have their own equipment? It is unforgivable that they are not returning your equipment. Our question to them is: Why did they take it in the first place.
2:09 pm on October 26th, 2014
TC and I will report these businesses to the Alaskan Dispatch News.
2:13 pm on October 26th, 2014
Thieves–Ten thousand curses on deceitful dealers (and may the new truck come quickly from an honest businessperson).
How is Gramp doing today? Was he able to have a peaceful night’s sleep (or significant fraction of same)?
Too many papers to read, stuff to deliver for Animal Assistance fund-raiser, library stuff to continue, still no rain, etc.
For all those who had eggs (or didn’t) a Happy Sunday. I’ll catch up witchyall later…
2:19 pm on October 26th, 2014
3630!!….Wow! Every time I check the Five Buck Truck fund someone is donating!!…wheeze!…Am I a lucky Pug or what?..heh!heh!
2:32 pm on October 26th, 2014
Wowzer! Do youse realize How Close Snowhook is to their Goal?
2:41 pm on October 26th, 2014
Wose, I looked in my check register and I wrote your check for the calendar on 10/15. Not sure if I mailed it that day or the next, but still you should have it.
Where is Wose today?
That is too bad about the truck deal. Most businesses cannot survive long without a good reputation.
3:02 pm on October 26th, 2014
Ooooo – who’s a naughty truck dealer? We agree – said dealer should be reported, along with the ladder thieves who have inconvenienced our Hobbit!
Mama feels her Pink Bulldozer persona calling to her….
Gramp did much better sleeping last night. And for all the surgery he had, he has incredibly little pain. He is still needing a strong reminder to put his butt down and his foot up, every now and then, but all in all he is being pretty good.
Tomorrow is result day from the oncologist for brother. We will hear what the PET scan showed, and what the future holds for all of us.
3:40 pm on October 26th, 2014
Death Comes to Pemberley is on Masterpiece Mystery tonight. It’s the first of two episodes and is based on the P.D. James novel of the same title which I did not read. And, yes, it’s Jane Austen’s Pemberley and characters from Pride and Prejudice. I don’t know if I’m going to like it.
3:42 pm on October 26th, 2014
Tupper, we thought your Grampy had just one toe straightened. Did they have to do more than that?
He should take advantage and let everyone wait on him. Maybe he could even have a little bell to ring when he wants service.
Barb says it is time to a little walkie.
Our neighbors didn’t pay their electric bill last week. Barb went over to let the dog Fred out for them because the wife went out of town for 3 days and the husband wasn’t home from work yet. She couldn’t get into the garage with the electric door opener. So guess what? Their electric got shut off. He phoned in a payment on Friday but the electric will not be turned back on till tomorrow. He tried to hook up a generator in the driveway this afternoon, but it was making too much noise, so he asked Barb if he could plug into our electric. Barb thought it would be for their refrigerator, which hasn’t been on since Friday. But NOOOO, it was so he could watch the Bear’s game on a big screen t v in his garage!
3:43 pm on October 26th, 2014
I love Chet Speak Sunday. I remembered Suzie getting the leash out but not Chet rolling on the ground scratching his itches.
The 5 buck truck gofundme site keeps rolling along!
Glad Gramps had a decent night and tomorrow at least you will know what is going with your brother and you can make plans.
3:51 pm on October 26th, 2014
B,M,&L, why didn’t they pay their bill, and how does that entitle them to freeload off you. Grrrrrr
3:54 pm on October 26th, 2014
Watching the truck fund grow is almost as exciting as watching the Last Great Race!
4:03 pm on October 26th, 2014
Barb – Gramp had a gigunda bunion removed, plus they straightened the big toe and its neighbor toe, and did something to the third toe.
He just asked Mama to check the wires that come out – NO!!! She told him that if he wanted to have dinner cooked and served, and everything else in the house done, he needed to keep his big old toes and wires to himself!
Bee – we do like PD James, but never read Jane Austen. Wonder if that would make us like the movie more, or less.
We have been watching “Pie in the Sky” on Acorn. Nice, not bloody murder mysteries. But oh, how we wish there were more Midsomer Murder episodes.
4:16 pm on October 26th, 2014
Wired!….There are wires sticking out of Gramps toes?…gasp!…Even I would not look at that!…wheeze!
4:19 pm on October 26th, 2014
Golinka!….And Teddy’s Paw, my friend is cooking up a big ole pot of fire on the stove…snort!..Green and Hot!Hot!Hot! chili is a’brewing….wheeze!….The whole house smells like it is on fire…gasp!
4:19 pm on October 26th, 2014
But you should go look at the truck fund, you Evil Pug, you.
heh heh heh
4:29 pm on October 26th, 2014
Tupper and Gilly: The next series of Midsomer Murders (set 25) comes out February 24, 2015, according to Amazon.
4:30 pm on October 26th, 2014
Tupper and Gilly: And you should read Jane Austen!!!!!
4:35 pm on October 26th, 2014
We love chili, but you guessed it, we like it mild and boring.
Howlers, when Barb called her to say the electric was off her reaction was “Dam, we never even go a shut-off notice yet!” What a way to live. Barb was always taught that you didn’t play till your obligations were taken care of. Not these guys – he rents land to go hunting on every weekend, but the bills come second evidently. Gah!
4:38 pm on October 26th, 2014
Bee – Why?
That is a serious question. We have read many of the early English authors, including the Bronte’s, Dickins, Kipling, Wilkie Collins, etc. Why Austin?
4:41 pm on October 26th, 2014
Two Wrotten Kats we all know take it to the Next Level…the 5 Buck Truck that is.
4:45 pm on October 26th, 2014
3700!…And still trucking!…WOOOOOO!….Kats with evil plans are very useful to this fund drive…heh!heh!
4:47 pm on October 26th, 2014
Oh, T&G! We here love Jane Austen! Mom can read the same books over and over. When she used to listen to books on tape on her long commute, she almost always chose an Austen. She likes any movie based on one of her stories too. sigh. She is a romantic, pure and simple.
4:49 pm on October 26th, 2014
Andy!…I really like that Andy Holleman guy…snort!…He is a big fan of AJ and The Team!….Wooooo!
5:02 pm on October 26th, 2014
Stover!…Are you still sticking with “How To Get Away With Murder”?…snort!…We are watching the latest episode right now. The main actress, can’t remember her name right now, is so good. She does heart-ache misery to the ultimate max!…groggle!
5:03 pm on October 26th, 2014
Bunions! Mom had that surgery on both feet, not at the same time. That is major, and the swelling lasts really long. They don’t cut a bunion out. They have to break the metatarsal bone! It is a Big Deal. Poor Gramp.
5:06 pm on October 26th, 2014
Mathematical!…Snowhook only needs 1300.00 in donations to reach the 5000 mark!…snort!…I know if more of their facebookie pals show up it will be a cinch!…Woooo!
5:07 pm on October 26th, 2014
Howlers!…..YEEEEE-OUCH!…gasp!…Poor Gramps…sob!sob!…I just want to sit on his lap and lick his arms…sniffle!
5:25 pm on October 26th, 2014
Basil and Sage: Austen is wickedly funny! My favorite Austen novel is Emma followed by Sense and Sensibility. Pride and Prejudice is very good also. (I used to teach it. The movie with Colin Firth is excellent. The movie of S and S with Emma Thompson is also good.)
Rio: I’ve watched the first two (or perhaps the first three) episodes of How To Get Away With Murder. It’s very good. The young man whose name I can’t remember, played Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter movies. I really like him.
5:32 pm on October 26th, 2014
Yeeep!! oh, wait a minute, we mean “Puuuuurrrrrrrrrr”
Truck fund is now at 3800!
5:38 pm on October 26th, 2014
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife” (Pride and Prejudice). Who could resist that first line? The social satire is excellent! Everything about 19th-Century manners and mores and the inequality of the female is revealed in twenty-three words.
5:41 pm on October 26th, 2014
Bee, we agree 100%!
We even like the modern movie Emma, which is a modern take on Sense and Sensibility.
5:49 pm on October 26th, 2014
Oops. We meant the movie Clueless, not Emma.
6:03 pm on October 26th, 2014
3850!…As of 4 minutes ago!…Yeeeep!
6:04 pm on October 26th, 2014
Stover!…I do not recognize a Dean Thomas from Harry Potter…grunt!…Which one is he?
6:06 pm on October 26th, 2014
B,M&L: Got your check on Sarurday!
Kat: I love the cartoon of you, you, you!
6:07 pm on October 26th, 2014
SiberH!…Game ON!…snort!…At 6:00pm our time. I love this consistency finally in times and channels…heh!heh!…I don’t feel I have to follow clues to find the game…chorkel!
6:12 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio, Dean Thomas is one of the Hogwart’s students that is in the same year as Harry and in the same house. When the Minisrty of Magic casts aspersions on Harry, his mum questions whether or Dean should return to school and be exposed to Potter.
6:15 pm on October 26th, 2014
Wose, thank you, we were starting to worry that you were not going to get it.
Glad to hear from you, you have been MIA today.
6:21 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio: The actor who played Dean Thomas is the one who received that prize statue. I just looked it up and his name is Alfred Enoch and he plays Wes Gibbins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Enoch
6:21 pm on October 26th, 2014
Howlers: I love the movie Clueless.
6:26 pm on October 26th, 2014
B,M,&L: I have been having problems with my wi-fi since late yesterday afternoon. It is very frustrating. My laptop doesn’t connect, my iPaw doesn’t connect…grrrrrr!
6:28 pm on October 26th, 2014
Wose – have you tried rebooting your modem?
6:29 pm on October 26th, 2014
Stover!…As I was reading your post they were advertising Alfred Enoch being on Jimmy Kimmel…snort!…I turned around and did not catch his face…heh!…But now I know he is the young black actor in the show….chuffle!…Yes, he is doing a great job so far! But I fear he is in deep with the actual murder that I cannot figure out yet…guffle!…I do not remember him from Harry Potter for some reason…hmmm.
6:59 pm on October 26th, 2014
Wose, your carrier needs to reset your modem.
6:59 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio: He’s in all of the Potter movies. He’s the one who knows that it is a boggart hidden in the chest in the third movie. He says, “That’s a boggart that is.”
7:04 pm on October 26th, 2014
3920!!! …As of 4 minutes ago…gasp!…We just got home from a walk…wheeze!
7:05 pm on October 26th, 2014
Stover!…Is he an English actor?…snort!
7:18 pm on October 26th, 2014
The Green Bay Packers are going to play in 12 minutes. I will be keeping the other buddy company.
7:18 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio: Yes, he’s an English actor.
By the way, I’ve fallen in love with Sykes, Barnaby’s dog on Midsomer Murders with Neil Dudgeon as Barnaby.
7:41 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio, J.K. Rowling insisted on only British actos for the Potter movies.
7:45 pm on October 26th, 2014
Sykes is worthy of your love Prof Bee.
What a scamp he is.
7:47 pm on October 26th, 2014
Midsomer!…I am very very behind on all the Midsomer Murders…gah!
7:51 pm on October 26th, 2014
HoHo!…So you only write in correct sentences when it involves Harry Potter?…sniff!…Otherwise you write gibberish which I for one cannot make heads or tails of…grunt!
7:53 pm on October 26th, 2014
Only 80!….Just 80 dollars to go before they reach 4,000…Wowow! and YEEEP!
7:57 pm on October 26th, 2014
Over $4000 now!!
8:02 pm on October 26th, 2014
What!?…Holy Cows!…snort!…So close. So very close….heh!heh!…This is like having 2 Auctions in one weekend!…Zow!
8:03 pm on October 26th, 2014
Fund!…Oh wouldn’t Beau and I like to be part of the last guys donating….snort!…But we have already blown our allotted wad…grunt!
8:38 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio: You never know…you might find another 5 bucks inside the couch cushions tomorrow, cleaning up after the game!
Go Giants!
8:40 pm on October 26th, 2014
Yay, Dawson! Go Giants!
8:41 pm on October 26th, 2014
Giants!…Bah!…Enough is enough with those guys…grump!…Pence needs to be thrown into a bathtub.
8:54 pm on October 26th, 2014
Go Giants!
8:57 pm on October 26th, 2014
Gah!…Am I and the Lurker the only ones rooting for long sufferng Royals?…sniff!
8:58 pm on October 26th, 2014
We would say go Giants but fear Rio might bark at us 🙂
9:04 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio! Pence needs to be thrown into a bathtub! Ha!!!
Watching the World Series now that it is halftime — Green Bay and New Orleans are tied.
9:14 pm on October 26th, 2014
Well, okay. I’ll say it. Go Royals!
9:16 pm on October 26th, 2014
Now I get a kiss. Pucker up, Rio!
9:16 pm on October 26th, 2014
Lurker!…Pense, am I right or am I right?…heh!heh!..There is scraggly and then there is downright needs a bath…gah!
9:18 pm on October 26th, 2014
Lurker!….Lipper Up!…Slopppy Sluuuuurrrrp!…burp!…And a good-luck lick yer arms too! Liiiiiccccckkk!….heh!heh!
9:22 pm on October 26th, 2014
Sigh…no worries about sensory deprivation here!!! Smooch!
9:23 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio – Gilly wants to know if you are missing Royals?
9:23 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio – Gilly wants to know if you are KISSING Royals?
9:25 pm on October 26th, 2014
Aaaaand the Saints score!
9:27 pm on October 26th, 2014
Ooops — better go back to the game. Thanks, ML.
9:31 pm on October 26th, 2014
Golinka!…Today my friend said she was at a store buying some special Greenie Joint thingies that Beau likes and a Corgi ran right up to her and seemed to say “HELLO! HELLO!”….heh!…She thought it was a Tupper or a Gilly, but alas. NO! …snort!
9:41 pm on October 26th, 2014
Rio – it was their cousin, relaying a message.
9:59 pm on October 26th, 2014
Yeep. I am so tired! I can almost stay up for the end of this game. Poor KC. Go Giants. Hunter Pence wears his uniform pant legs funny. Maybe he is worried about someone grabbing him by the pant leg?
Yeeparino!
4:30 am on October 27th, 2014
New medicine, but I am still waking up at 4:00 am.
GO ROYALS!
GO SNOWHOOK!
