No Post Today
“Pretty busy around here today,” Spence says.
“How about we just leave everybody with yesterday’s post?” Admin says. “It’s a long one.”
“Suits me,” says Spence. “Wonder what Chet thinks.”
What do I think? Is that the question? Right now I’m thinking about how I missed National Bacon Day. How did that happen? And why can’t we have National Slim Jim Day to make up for it? Is that how come we’re having this election everyone’s talking about?

Busy or procrastinating?
Chet: This occurred to me yesterday. Horses don't naturally have shoes.
4:25 am on September 24th, 2010
No Astrid? How about chapter TWO????
sheesh
4:26 am on September 24th, 2010
Heh,
Hi BStover
4:31 am on September 24th, 2010
Kirby: I read Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and enjoyed it. And, yes, Flavia reminds me of Ingrid. I also read Bradley's latest Flavia novel, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag but didn't like it as well as the first.
4:34 am on September 24th, 2010
Hi Staff. How are you doing? I liked FK's idea about the image of the motto square on the name badges….if that's possible.
4:38 am on September 24th, 2010
Mom got up this morning, had her coffee, and opened up the bookworm game. She liked having zin in case zaffre didn't work.
Zaffre worked!! So she's back to our company now. She just couldn't wait until Sunday. Too much suspense.
4:52 am on September 24th, 2010
Mollypop: Yes!! Dawson saved the day. I was worried that your game wouldn't accept "zin" and you'd have the Z that much closer to the bottom. If you get a chance, see if your game does accept "zin."
5:08 am on September 24th, 2010
Chet: Take the day off. You deserve it.
Mollypop: Almost six million points. Yikes. Very Impressive.
Rio: The baseball game had me talking to myself and answering back.
Staff: You have chapter two already. 🙂
5:27 am on September 24th, 2010
Good Morning All. . . Dawson: The Pack and I commend you for staying up and giving updates on the game. Here's to you! (Melanie lifting her cup of coco.)
5:39 am on September 24th, 2010
Oh so I totally forgot.
The famous (infamous?) Rosie Gray is starting an on-line magazine. It launches Monday. Here's the web site. http://millennialsmag.com/splash.html
Cool
5:48 am on September 24th, 2010
Sob! Sob! Sob!…. We both fell asleep around 10:30 last night …snort!… I woke her up around 1:30am to go OUT! NOW! OUT!…heh!….What’s up with NO POST TODAY??? …. That stinks!…grumble.

6:14 am on September 24th, 2010
As I hope you can see I took the advice of Fatty Kitty and used the quilt block for the picture. That lets all know that you are a participant in the blog quilt. If that is too subtle we can add Blog Quilt Participant on the badge too, but I don't think it is necessary.
6:20 am on September 24th, 2010
Dawson, thanks…Your posts last night gave me a better idea of what happened in the Rockies game than the "official" websites did. Maybe CarGo's injuries are healed now, but it was a Phoenix fiasco.
6:20 am on September 24th, 2010
Sigh…. I can only dream that one day my friend will get a badge of honor….sniffle.
6:28 am on September 24th, 2010
Staff: I really like the badges.
SH: I like the sound of "Phoenix fiasco" but I don't know what it means.
Which picture would you choose for your badge Rio?
I'm making applesauce.
6:30 am on September 24th, 2010
YES, Chet, you missed National Bacon Day and we all know why. Your humans falling asleep on the job is how it happened. Honestly, I am still miffed about Chet missing National Bacon Day.
Chet. we cannot depend on the politicans to declare National Slim Jim Day. We will have to do it ourselves.
6:33 am on September 24th, 2010
Stover!… I would have Staff use this one. I’ve always been partial to it because it shows off my lovely teeth….snort!

6:33 am on September 24th, 2010
Stover, Phoenix fiasco means that the Rockies just lost three games to the lowest of the low in the standings, the Arizona Diamondbacks (Snakes)SOB,SOB
6:35 am on September 24th, 2010
Great Job Staff!
6:36 am on September 24th, 2010
Beautiful Smile, Riö!
6:38 am on September 24th, 2010
Sob!Sob!Sob!…Phoenix fiasco…Sob!Sob!Sob!
6:43 am on September 24th, 2010
Staff, I really like the badges, and using the one for Macy from the quilt works fine. I am partial to the picture of Miss Macy in the snow.
Rio, that photo is perfect for your badge…maybe Melanie or Molly's mom could add a little Rockies ball cap on your head.
6:56 am on September 24th, 2010
You look extremely fierce in that picture Rio.
Do the losses mean that the Rockies won't be able to be in the playoffs?
7:06 am on September 24th, 2010
I have my doubts, Stover. Rio, what do you think? The Rockies are the "Boys of Autumn"
7:25 am on September 24th, 2010
Staff: Nice work on the badges. Very official looking. They should allow Macy MinPin's mom and dad front row seats.
Macy MinPin: Like SiberH., I am partial to the picture of you frolicking in the snow.
Rio: I like that picture of you, too. (Lois) Notice the teeth. Now Rio, these baseball games can go both ways. You could sweep the Giants for instance. The Rockies are good at the come-back. There is still a slim jim chance, isn't there?
Melanie: How's our Rehab case?
8:05 am on September 24th, 2010
We like the badges, too. Macy, Do you think your folks could do a little personal shout-out to SQ for us when they get to meet him? We have ordered our signed book from the Houston book store, so he should be signing and paw printing it while he is there. Maybe just a gentle reminder that we are big fans.
We didn't want to be piggy about ordering signed copies, so we also ordered from B & N for gift copies. We got an email that they have been shipped. I wonder if Barb will take a peek at the gift copies or if she will have will power to wait for her copy.
Rio, What nice teeth you have! Do they mesh nicely as mine do?
8:07 am on September 24th, 2010
Dawson, Did you have to alert Lois to the teeth issue?
8:18 am on September 24th, 2010
Dawson: The rehab dude is doing well.
UPS came just a second ago, but unless T-FAT comes in a box 2 feet by 3 feet, I'm out of luck.
8:21 am on September 24th, 2010
I've just been looking at the MLB standings…This series that the Rockies play with the Giants this weekend is critical for the Rockies to win to get in the playoffs. It starts tonight!
8:31 am on September 24th, 2010
For Riö"

Hey!… I like my cap!…snort!snort!
8:48 am on September 24th, 2010
Love it, Melanie!! That would, indeed, be the photo for the badge. It's magic. I don't know how you did it.
Very glad to hear Dan is doing well.
9:15 am on September 24th, 2010
Giants!… I’m ready to watch the Rockies cream the Giants tonight with my brand new cap on!….snort!
9:50 am on September 24th, 2010
Wow!
Melanie: That cap looks great on Rio.
9:56 am on September 24th, 2010
Dawson!…I’m not going to fall asleep tonight – not with my lucky cap on!….snort!
10:14 am on September 24th, 2010
Melanie, That cap is as good as my mustache and Hawaiian pants! You go girl!
10:14 am on September 24th, 2010
sniff…I can't wear a Rockies cap. My ears would get in the way.
Thank goodness the game starts earlier tonight.
10:30 am on September 24th, 2010
Chewie!…. I’m hungry… dammit!… My friend usually hides a chewie somewhere in the house for me to find while she is gone….grunt!….I bet she forgot because I have not been able to find that chewie anywhere!… sniff!sniff!
10:42 am on September 24th, 2010
Stover!… Today is National Punctuation Day!! ….snort!…. How about that?… grunt!
10:55 am on September 24th, 2010
SiberH!… A very good friend of my friend has a cousin or niece who decided she would spend a year in Alaska teaching in a small village…. Snort!… Her blog is very entertaining and I thought you would probably enjoy reading her adventures in Alaska…. Wheeze!…. Here is the link to her blog if you want to check it out!
http://alaskabyboot.blogspot.com/
11:16 am on September 24th, 2010
Why is punctuation being celebrated with a national day? To make people more aware? Does it help?
11:23 am on September 24th, 2010
Stover!… I’ve never heard of it before…snort!…But here is an official link….heh!
http://www.nationalpunctuationday.com/
11:26 am on September 24th, 2010
Rio: I looked at Alaska blog. It's very good. The pilot laughed "in a French accent." I like that! She seems very energetic. Her students are lucky.
11:32 am on September 24th, 2010
The punctuation site is very good. It has clear explanations and examples. I've bookmarked it.
12:13 pm on September 24th, 2010
Thanks Rio! Wow! She gets to live on the fabled Yukon River and eat moose stew. I am sooo jealous. One hundred bucks for medical evacuation insurance isn't bad. I wonder if they will let sled dogs take out that insurance.
It will be interesting to see how she survives the loooong dark and the cold. I'm sure she will do just fine. She will get to ride around on snow machines once the snow comes. FUN!!!
12:20 pm on September 24th, 2010
Alaska!… I think it will be fun to follow her for the coming year… grunt!… My friend wants to introduce herself to her sometime since they know the same people… sneeze! … SiberH you should introduce yourself and maybe she will let you stay with her for the winter!….heh! ….You could pull her around town on the sled….cough!
12:23 pm on September 24th, 2010
Good blog Rio,
Very interesting. I really liked that she put a map there so we could get a better idea of where she was.
So you want a ChettheDog ID as well as your business card? Heh heh heh You greedy puglet you. I think that can happen. I won't tell Alice. She does not have one yet. The one with the hat, right?
Staff
12:25 pm on September 24th, 2010
I just received an email from amazon.com saying that TFAT has been shipped! (That's the hardcopy that I pre-ordered. I'm giving it to a friend after I receive the signed and paw-printed one.)
12:27 pm on September 24th, 2010
Staff!….I thought we only got badges for when we get to go meet The Charming Mr. Abrahams and Ole Pointy Head Spencer….snort!…If you make it I will take it!…grunt!
12:30 pm on September 24th, 2010
I think, also, that it will be interesting to follow her for a year. She is below the Arctic Circle so she won't have total darkness this winter.
I would, you know I would, pull her around the village on a sled or up and down the Yukon River. Woo Woo

I still have this up so I can edit it if you need any changes. You know you will think of something.
Detroit tonight for the Twins.
Whoo Hooooo
12:55 pm on September 24th, 2010
Staff!… heh! snort! heh!…. It’s perfect. My friend will love it!….snort!…She just hopes she will be able to use it one day…heh!
12:56 pm on September 24th, 2010
Staff!… It looks like the Twins get to pound on the Tigers all weekend long!…heh! …This probably means Dawson will be too busy to Clap for the Rockies tonight…..drat!
1:07 pm on September 24th, 2010
Mollypop: The Dupin Hatteras Red came. I know that you drink it as an aperitif but it goes very well with pork chops and au gratin potatoes. Delish!
1:52 pm on September 24th, 2010
Siber-H: Do you know where that picture is of you? I can snatch it and see if I can fit a hat in with those ears!
1:59 pm on September 24th, 2010
Melanie, surprise! I know where the pictures are of me. They are on the July 20 2010 blog titled "A Real Bad Racket" Mom wrote it down for me because she knew we'd never remember where they were.
2:09 pm on September 24th, 2010
Bee, I posted earlier that B & N emailed that they shipped as well.
2:15 pm on September 24th, 2010
B&M: I saw your post and that made me wonder why amazon had not shipped the book. I know I'll get the Kindle edition on Sept. 28 but I also want to feel the dust jacket with the special paper. You gave a Kindle to your nephew but did you get one for yourself?
2:15 pm on September 24th, 2010
Barb just told me that Lady Ga Ga's meat outfit consisted of about 40 lbs of flank steak and had to be refrigerated till she wore it. Now they are going to make jerky out of it and preserve it. FOR WHY? I think they should make it into chew strips for us guys!
2:25 pm on September 24th, 2010
Bee, Barb got a Kindle for her nephew when they were about $264 and now they are $139. That is upsetting! He is 22 and he loves it. She decided to stick with regular books for now. She thought seriously about getting one, but decided she likes the old fashioned comfort of holding the book in her hands, plus the added bonus of being able to loan out and add to her library.
2:56 pm on September 24th, 2010
B&M: When I bought the Kindle they were $500. I think amazon should give me many books for free.
2:58 pm on September 24th, 2010
Hmm. So Lady Ga Ga's meat dress was because she's against eating meat or for eating meat? I'm confused. . .
Riö: Love the site, to tired to read it tonight will read it tomorrow.
Siber-H: I had to go with a vintage hat. Hope you like it!
[img ]http://chetthedog.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/1285372684-Siber-H.jpg[/img]
3:01 pm on September 24th, 2010
Bee, Now we don't feel so bad!
Melanie, It was evidently because she doesn't want people to think she is "just a piece of meat". Well, she certainly got enough publicity out of it!
3:06 pm on September 24th, 2010
Melanie!….OH Wow!….snort!snort!…That is an Awesome cap on SiberH! …heh!snort!heh!… There is NO WAY the Rockies can lose to the Giants tonight! Not with me and SiberH wearing our lucky Caps!….heh! …Why didn’t we think of this before?….wheeze!
3:13 pm on September 24th, 2010
Melanie!….My friend wants me to thank you profusely because she says she hasn’t laughed this hard all year long and that is saying alot….cough! …Ok! The big important game is starting now!….grunt! That damned Buster Posie is in the line-up…craaaaap!.
3:16 pm on September 24th, 2010
I love it, Melanie! I love it!! Thank You!! Wow! You got a perfect fit. I can't wear one in real life, but I can now wear one in my Siber life. Rio and I are now ready for the Rockies to be in the playoffs.
I love the way the Rockies color, purple, stands out on that hat.
3:19 pm on September 24th, 2010
Melanie has cheered us all up today. Me and Rio and friend and mom were kinda depressed over the Phoenix fiasco.
3:21 pm on September 24th, 2010
SiberH!… I think you should ask Staff to make you a badge out of that photo!…snort!…Too bad we can't be on the Quilt with these great caps!…heh!
3:24 pm on September 24th, 2010
Wookie!….Do you want Melanie to make a Rockies cap for you too?…snort!…. You said you have become a big fan over the season!….sniff!…Plus, we have not heard from you today big guy!…grunt!
3:32 pm on September 24th, 2010
Good ideas, Rio
3:32 pm on September 24th, 2010
Pitcher!…. Our Pitcher, Chacin, is on Fire tonight!…Wow! {{{thank gawd!}}}
Staff! Dawson!…Report on your game!…snort! ….Where's Kirby at?(again!)…sniff!sniff!
3:33 pm on September 24th, 2010
Melanie taking a bow . . .
And heading for bed . . .
Wöökie, let me know!
3:38 pm on September 24th, 2010
Wow!
SiberH and Rio: You were good-looking dogs before you put on those caps but with the caps…irresistible, totally handsome dudes. Go Rockies!!
3:39 pm on September 24th, 2010
Det is leading Min 2-0.
Macy needs to come along and see her badge.
3:47 pm on September 24th, 2010
Min Pin!…She will probably be asking where the badges are tomorrow….snort!…She hates doing catch-up reading….grunt!
Lincecum!… He just “batted”, what a delicate little creature he is off the pitchers mound…snort!…On the mound he is a Monster!…grunt!
3:51 pm on September 24th, 2010
Melanie — i would love a Rockies hat too. Go Rockies!. Wookie
3:54 pm on September 24th, 2010
Rio, It's Friday night and I suppose some people have lives other than baseball games. Do you think?
3:57 pm on September 24th, 2010
Detroit now ahead 5 to 0 in the bottom of the 6th – 0 outs. 🙂
4:06 pm on September 24th, 2010
I have to go out and the game will be over by the time I get home. It's Tigers 6 – Twinkies 0 now and I hope it stays that way. Go Rockies! Batter those Giants!
4:08 pm on September 24th, 2010
Ish! C'mon Twinkies!
4:10 pm on September 24th, 2010
SiberH!…In September, that just doesn’t make sense to us…snort!…She got out of some kind of dice game playing thing called “Bunco” (maybe) with co-workers because the Rockies are playing tonight …heh!…This might be fun later, but not NOW….chorkel!
4:13 pm on September 24th, 2010
We are not one of those who have anything else to do on Friday nights, mom has been hogging the computer all day messing with her farm.
We love the badges, dad is skipping, skipping. Rio, darling, I do not mind catch up reading except when it is a weeks worth. By the way..badges should not be worn indiscriminately. Only to official Chet-the-Dog events. We don't want to dilute the specialness of it. Of course, that is easy for us to say since WE HAVE A PLACE TO WEAR IT!!!
4:15 pm on September 24th, 2010
Yep, my mom is ignoring the ringing phone and letting it go to voice mail. She hopes no one is having an emergency and she knows she should probably listen to the voice mail, but she don't wanna.
4:16 pm on September 24th, 2010
Here you go Siber-H.

4:22 pm on September 24th, 2010
AWK!!!
It is now 9 to 0 with Detroit getting a 3 run homer. The Twins announcer just said Detroit has "put it away".
Gosh gee! Awful!
Staff
4:23 pm on September 24th, 2010
Thank You Staff! That's special! We'll save it for when the time comes and mom can wear it to a book signing. I plan on going along, but I haven't figured out just how yet.
4:25 pm on September 24th, 2010
oowfff!
Back to back homers for those nasty Tigers.
10 – 0.
I am going to stop reporting this. Dawson can just tell you all about it when she gets home. PHOOEY!
4:25 pm on September 24th, 2010
Caps!…My friend is over in her chair dying of laughter!…snort!…I've never seen her this happy before!… heh!…Means more treats for me!…woooo!
4:26 pm on September 24th, 2010
Siber H is one sexy dude with that cap on. Wowser!!
4:27 pm on September 24th, 2010
You are welcome Siber-H. It is a pleasure to make a badge for such a
beautifulhandsome dog.4:30 pm on September 24th, 2010
Thank you, ladies, for your kind words.
4:31 pm on September 24th, 2010
Wookie! …Melanie will need a good frontal photo of you pal to create your awesome Cap!… snort!… I can’t wait to see it!…heh!heh!
4:33 pm on September 24th, 2010
Hey!…What about me?…snort!…Nobody has said that kind of thing about me in my awesome Cap….grunt!
4:37 pm on September 24th, 2010
You guys can huff and puff all you want about your baseball teams – my Yankees will see you later.
4:47 pm on September 24th, 2010
Molly!…Did the Yankees and Jeeter demolish the Charming Mr. Abrahams Red Sox tonight….snort!…I hope NOT!…grunt!
4:48 pm on September 24th, 2010
heh heh heh,Rio,
I wondered if you would notice the omission.
4:48 pm on September 24th, 2010
Yankees, schmankees.
Rio, your cap is very cute. As far as what it is sitting on…..
SiberH…wrowr..sometimes I wish I could purr.
Ladies don't wear caps, just a nice jersey.
I can really see my baseball on the badge. Now if our Rangers would just get it together…
4:49 pm on September 24th, 2010
And Rio,
You cap is just wonderful!
Great Photo.
heh heh heh
Yankee's are losing to Boston…..sorry Mollypop.
4:53 pm on September 24th, 2010
HA!…. I just heard that Boston was ahead of the almighty Yankees by 2….heh!.,…We haven’t checked these facts, but I would love to believe it!….snort!
4:56 pm on September 24th, 2010
YES!.,..It’s true! …snort!…Boston ahead of the Yankees!…heh!heh!
5:00 pm on September 24th, 2010
Alice!… Not all of us are Bleached Blanket Bingo beautiful….snort! …
5:05 pm on September 24th, 2010
Sad, but true Rio. And beauty fades…eventually. But what a trip till it does!

Blondes do have more fun.
5:08 pm on September 24th, 2010
Grump!…I still have my awesome Cap!…sniff!
5:16 pm on September 24th, 2010
Rio, We think you are beautiful. Everytime we see a little pug now, we think of you.
5:20 pm on September 24th, 2010
Cap!….I wonder how '00'Wookie will look in his awesome Cap!…scruffel!
Hey!…thanks SiberH!…heh!…See Alice?…grunt!
5:26 pm on September 24th, 2010
…mutter grunt…
I have to admit that I think of the little puglet whenever I see a pug also…
In fact there is a quilt book made just for one yard cuts of fabric and it has a Pug right on the front cover!
I just noticed it at the quilt shop today.

5:40 pm on September 24th, 2010
I'm howling
5:56 pm on September 24th, 2010
Hmmm!….I wonder if that Pug is a certified Quilt Tester… snort!…. I want to be one of those guys too! ….snuffle! …And never ever watch Baseball again in my life!…sob!sob!
Sob!sob!sob!….Waaaaahhhh!….Sob!sob!sob!…..Aaaaaaaagh!…. Now they are having a Fireworks Display!???…. Is this for National Punctuation Day I wonder???….grunt!….It can’t be for that lack-luster game I just witnessed…sniff!….sob!sob!sob!
Sniff!…I am going to my warm soft bed where all my baseball toys are right where I left them…sniff!sob!sniff!…My heart is almost broken tonight and the only thing that will comfort me are my toys being in their special places when I curl up around them tonight…sniffle!snuff!..sneeze!…sob!
6:04 pm on September 24th, 2010
What? A fireworks display..you gotta be kidding me. I'm crawling off to bed myself, a wounded husky. This was awful. I may have nightmares.
Good Night, sniff and SOB
That is a cute piece of fabric with the pug on it.
6:56 pm on September 24th, 2010
Hey everybody! I'm sure most everyone is probably going to bed by now — I haven't had time to catch up on what everyone has written — but Mom and Dad just got home from Dad's football game. What a nailbiter! Dad's team was behind 14 to 7, then we scored to make it 14-13, then missed the extra point. They scored again, then we scored to make it 21-19, so we went for two points to tie it up. But we didn't make it, so it was still 21-19. Then we got the ball back and drove it down the field, and with about a minute left tried for a field goal — missed! It looked like the game was a goner — and Dad's the special teams coach, so it was on his shoulders. So the other team ahd it back after the missed field goal, and all they had to do was hold onto the ball, but they fumbled and we recovered! We drove it down the field again, but didn't get the first down, so we were forced to try another field goal — and this time we made it!!! We won 22-21!!! The crowd — well, the 20 or so parents who made it to the game, which is the problem with a boarding school — went wild!!! Wow, I wish I had been there, such excitement!!!

Kirby, the 2 of us are doing the wave in honor of your dad's team's win. Seems like they would take you to the game just to help fill in the "crowd".
Macy out.
