Bob the Adventurous!

The new, slim Bob! 7 years old and looking good!

Yesterday I worked as much I could at the same time I got a lot of laundry done. Ken had to see a client, and when he got back he did a lot of yard work. Sarah helped him a bit towards the end, and I guess we never thought about the fact she had left the patio screen door open. I even remember telling Ken to go and close it before he took a shower.

After his shower we sat down and had dinner, and after that I got Sarah ready for bed and we were in her bed reading Bamse when we could hear Bob barking in the garage. It would not have been the first time Bob sneaked out in the garage and ended being locked out there for an hour or so before we missed him. But he was not to be found! We looked through the entire house, sometimes he can hide in the oddest places. But I swear that bark had sounded like Bob's, and that it had been distant.

I took one doubtful look at my husband and said "You don't think he could be...?". Ken opened the front door. In bursts Bob, high on an adrenaline rush, running through the house like a crazy roadrunner!!!

We realized he must have gotten out when the screen door had been open, which meant he had been outside for a few hours! Who knows where he had been! Bob loves to be free and he had probably been all over the neighbourhood. It is a miracle he didn't get run over! Or eaten by an alligator... he was covered in mud, which told us he had been in one of the many lakes around our house. He promptly got himself a bath and then slept like a stone the rest of the evening.

When we had him boarded during our vacation Bob lost 3 lbs, that is quite a lot on a little guy like him! (He really needed it). It was all in thanks to the fact that there were no food he could steel! He looks great and have more energy now, so maybe he just wanted to test his new, slim self...

Oh to have had a camera mounted on him when he was tearing around the neighborhood... freaking dog!
