Periodically, the hu-dad realizes he hears too much silence, does a quick nose count, and realizes that one member of The Herd or another is up to something. Imagine his surprise with who is exhibiting such table manners.
What a great view of the yard.
Oh, hi, Hu-dad. I didn’t hear you coming.
I was just making sure the dining room table was nice and clean.
Ok, Hu-dad, you passed inspection, so I should probably go do something else now.

Five Deer And A Screaming Dog
You may be wondering about today’s story. What do five deer and a screaming dog have to do with each other? Let’s ask Boom Boom.
Visit Millerton, a fictional small town near Asheville NC, via D.K. Wall's novels. Ordinary people. Extraordinary events.
Oh!! A picnic table…indoors!! Great idea!
I think Frankie has done this before and Hu~dad didn’t see it.. Frankie looks very calm and comfortable sitting on the table and then the final inspection so meticulously done with out moving the place mats or center piece. I think all furbabys are born to do a specific job.. So that puts Frankie in a possible “Detective” position.. he’s merely doing his j.o.b. 😉 or Private Investigator by the look on his face he is investigating and looking for clues 😉 !!
wait – you AREN’T allowed on the table??? 🙂 We do it here all the time. guess the rules are different for you dogs
You are such a pro inspektor. Not one placemat was moved or messed up. That means you are a pro and dad should just let you do your job. 🙂
Lol Frankie. Were you playing king of the table inside instead of outside? Thank you for the laugh this morning. I’m sure hu-dad won’t want to catch you up there again though.
I bet he was surprised!!! I was thinking it was the usual Typhoon.
Mom sez: Ohhhhhhhhoooooooo Frankie — YOU of all people (oops, I mean dogs!) I doubt that’s acceptable etiquette in your house. (Did you see anything good out the window, or find anything good on the table, while you were up there?)
