Bless the power of Allah and modern medicine for Dillie the Westie’s prompt recovery and in a few days after snapping out of his coma he is back with us and sufficiently healthy to attend our weekly tea with Mr. Gordon Lightfoot and stinky Bosco. Dillie is a bit slow and has stitches on his head but our animal doctor, Doctor Murray, says he will soon be fit as a fiddle.
Mr. Antonio was not so lucky losing his life to the Bulgarian thugs. Forensic analysis concluded the fatal bullet was from a Gromyko Special Edition 9-millimetre pistol manufactured in the Soviet Union of yesteryear and exclusively used by the communist era Bulgarian secret police, the Special Service. The arrested Bulgarians were all former Special Service members. Igor, their leader, the one who I sunk my teeth into, takes every opportunity to tell the world when he catches me he will skin me alive. JUST LET HIM TRY!
Ollie is fine although preliminary indications are he suffered some hearing loss from the potato masher explosion.
The Mookster is in tip top shape.
Kit Kat is staying with the Portuguese Consul General in Toronto.
Penny is in Beamsville awaiting delivery of a new Oodlecopter from Ferrari to replace the wrecked copter.
Dunny Funkheiser, Ollie’s master, unfortunately lost an arm in the explosion. A reattachment specialist thought it was fruitless to attempt the surgery. Once the wound heals Bob is purchasing a Douglas Bader 2000 special mechanical arm for Dunny. Being a man with a sense of humor Dunny quips he is on his way to being the six-million-dollar man.
Our friend Joe…ooops, President Biden, has invited us to Camp David for a week where a navy veterinarian will give Dillie powerful restorative medicinal cocktails and as we are going to a camp are we going camping?
Dillie, Fay, Bob and The Mookster and yours truly board our private jet to Dulles Airport in Washington where the Presidential helicopter whisks us to Camp David in Maryland. It is no campground but a luxury retreat. We are walked to our suite once occupied by Anwar Sadat, an assassinated President of Egypt!
We are advised there will be a special dinner with an award given to Dillie and I for the fight against international terrorism and crime. The Mookster is being debriefed by the CIA about what he has gleaned from his intelligence contacts concerning my kidnapping. That dog knows diplomacy for sure and has contacts the CIA could only dream of.
Bob and Fay gussy up and the Navy veterinarians bathe Dillie the Westie and I. We are smelling so good. Dillie gets his daily Maryland booster vitamin shot. A golf cart comes and picks us up transporting us to the main lodge for dinner with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Kamala sounds Egyptian! But no she is an American. President Biden is in the room and his German Shepherds try and assert their power over me but my Rat Pack growl and Dillie’s wickedly stern glare sends them cringing. NEVER MESS WITH AN EYGYTIAN STREET DOG!
Joe picks me up and gives me a hug and jokes where was I when Trump tried to overrun the Capitol Building! Then Vice President Kamala Harris asks me to jump up on her lap where I stay while the adults have some Schramsberg California bubbly wine.
We dogs have a dinner of Maryland organic chicken with mashed potatoes from the garden of the wife of President Biden called Jill. The humans have oysters, filet of sole and some dessert called Baked Alaska. Joe has a chuckle saying that no Alaskans were harmed in the making of the dessert! There is coffee and Bob and Joe have a cigar with a glass of Pappy van Winkle American Bourbon.
We are all assembled for a presentation where I will receive a canine Presidential Medal of Honour for Bravery and International Furtherance of Peace. Dillie receives a Congressional Medal of Honour for Bravery. We have great pictures of the presentation which sit on our fireplace mantle in our Toronto home.
The Mookster, Penny, Ollie and Kit Kat receive the highest award for canine bravery in the United States, The Skilos Medal of Courage. Penny, Ollie and Kit Kat were hooked up to the presentation by video.
We are all invited to visit Kamala and her two stepchildren Cole and Emma for lunch the following day. Such nice children and we watch “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” while Dillie and I sit on the laps of Cole and Emma and doze off. Only so many times we can watch the film!
The Mookster is at a special ceremony at the White House for the American Association of Animal Rescue Societies hosted by Dr. Jill Biden.
The humans have a barbeque after the film and more rice and crumbled burgers and green beans for us. We are all driven back to Camp David. The Canadian newspapers say Dillie the Westie and Reggie have done so much for Canadian American relations? What could that be?
The rest of the week flies by and we go for long walks with Joe and Jill and eat like kings. We are all such good friends with President Biden and Vice-President Harris. Joe’s German Sheppard’s walk behind us fearing our lack of fear of them. The vitamin injections have revitalized Dillie and he jokes he is feeling like a pup!
Joe says he will be visiting Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau in October in Ottawa and after that would like to stay with us in Toronto for a couple of days. This is unprecedented with an American President staying with private Canadian citizens. We look forward to a visit and Bob says this will be a Canadian Thanksgiving to remember. He has plans that will make Joe and Jill Happy.
We fly back to Toronto and the media mobs us. Dillie the Westie and Reggie have suddenly become international diplomats. The Mookster is whisked to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation studios for a special feature on the Bulgarian kidnapping caper.
Bob says to us when we return home that we all need to press the stop button and relax for two months. This sounds good to us dogs! I look forward to daily long walks and lots of cold water and chicken kibble. And to sleep in without having to rush here and there. However, we have received an invitation to a show hosted by Dr. Phil that Disney insists we attend. Bob says yes but after that we relax and wait for the visit by President Biden and his wife Jill.
