Chaps has a Lassie moment!
Howllo fellow hound and Chaps as Lassie lovers!
Last night I did not eat dinner until about 10:00. I was in the kitchen, gated in as usual. All of a sudden Chaps comes over to the gate and starts acting like he heard Thunder. He gets all frantic and tries to climb up on the gate with the most scared look in his eyes. He is panting and just freaked out, which in turns freaks me out because it is not Thundering. Of course I think the worse. It’s an intruder or a ghost! So, I quit eating and start the investigation.
It’s all very strange because I do not recall him ever doing this before. Chaps runs to our front door that leads upstairs to Grandma and Grandpas and starts looking up. My heart just sank because I immediately realized that it was about the time that Grandpa goes to bed and maybe Chaps heard him fall and it sounded like thunder.
So, I open the door and we both go up the steps. Chaps beats me and he is scratching on the door. I open the door and Grandpa is cleaning up a glass of water he dropped on a glass top table. Nothing broke but the sound was very loud according the Chaps!!!
You should have seen my Dad’s face when he sat on the couch and Chaps jumped into his lap. I had to explain all of this by writing it down, because my Dad did not have his hearing aids in. OMG what a fiasco. This is not the actual photo, but a re-enactment.
Thank goodness Grandpa was not in the well and we are not haunted in a bad way! We do have a ghost, but she is sweet and bakes Chocolate cakes night and day. But, that an entirely different blog posting.
More Good Boy stories later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Chaps – our hero. Mayor and Security Officer! Way to go, big guy!
It must be a comfort to know that Chaps is on the job, and that his Grampa is safe and protected.
Excellent job Chaps.
Chaps is definitely on the job..but is he on Grandpa’s payroll? Did he get a good boy treat for his service?
Harley has Lassie moments as well–when he acts up and barks uncontrollably we say “Uh-oh, is Timmy in the well again? HA! Good boy, Chaps, for being very protective of your Grandpa! Cat, how is your dad doing?
Mary, Harley, Biggs and Leo
I wish my bassets were that smart!!!
Awsome job Chaps!!!
P.S. Slinky thinks Lassie is a wimp and entirely too vain.
hahaha! Lassie a wimp? I am not sure about that??? Anyway, Chaps is my hero! FOREVER!
Mary he is doing good. Poor guy is just kind of not sure on his feet. Chaps worries so much and so do I. I am very thankful my parents live with me.
