“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS HAS RORY BECOME A SMASH AND GRAB ARTIST? IS RORY HEADING TO PUPPY REFORM SCHOOL?

ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS HAS RORY BECOME A SMASH AND GRAB ARTIST? IS RORY HEADING TO PUPPY REFORM SCHOOL?

On the eighth day of Christmas our dishwasher failed to drain despite valiant and creative attempts to make it by Bob.

Matthew the repairman arrived on the eighth day of Christmas and while bending down and not looking I grabbed a small screwdriver from his toolbox and ran but was immediately apprehended by Bob with an exasperated statement emanating from his lips. Matthew had a good chuckle. Thinking all was forgiven I grabbed Matthew’s running shoe when no one was looking. It is always so much fun doing “creative puppy things” when no one is looking!

Bob said to me, “Rory, you are a smash and grab artist and if you aren’t careful some of your puppydom may be spent in puppy reform school. You are very lucky there is a huge waiting list of puppies to enter that school and good luck on ever having treats there!”

I am uncertain as to the meaning of Bob’s statement, but I believe it means less than a compliment!
