Chak gave me a fright today!

After letting all the dogs out before bedtime last night, I closed the door for them to come in on their own steam. I went off to bed. Sometimes they are naughty outside, if they hear the neighbours or someone walking down the street. After going to bed, lying in the dark, I heard Chak bark twice, and Q hadn't come in either so I yelled for them.... Then quiet....

This morning I stumbled out of bed and opened up the house and the bird cage, and then went off to the fridge to peel an egg for Chak. Everyone was all over me for the yummy treat but I couldn't see Chak, so I called, thinking she went out again, but she didnt come. I checked the front yard and nothing, back yard and nothing... WEIRD... So I went back inside (all the while still holding the peeled egg with 5 dogs trailing behind). I opened the spare room and the lounge and she wasn't in there, so I went off to the dogroom, the workshop and the shed and opened them all up (with the egg and 5 dogs).. nothing..

PANIC - WHERE'S MY DOG???????

I called and called and called....

SHIT Chak was missing!

Then I thought when last I saw her, and it was going out last night, and I last heard her outside my bedroom window where the shed is, so I went back there and got down (in my night shirt, no contacts, with the egg and now 5 hungry drooling, snatching dogs), and looked under the shed... lo and behold, there was a nice tunnel with border collie in it! She had dug a nice big cave in there and closed up the sides a bit with all her digging, so fat Chak couldn't squeeze back out! DUMBASS!

So the well-travelled egg was fed to her under the shed today (while the others watched in dismay). I had to get a trowel and dig her out!!!

Needless to say I needed a shower after that episode!! Queen Chak just trotted out all cocky as her slave, Nadine, had served her pre-breakfast in her chosen nesting area!
