Last night, under cover of darkness, I squeezed Baby D back into his camouflage jacket, night vision goggles and helmet mounted camera and poked him through the space in the hedge into Mrs Next Door's garden. She has been pottering about in there in a mysterious way and I instructed Baby D to search out every corner of the garden so we could ascertain what she had been up to. Alfie Bucket and me watched on the monitor and whispered instructions via our 2-way radios. I dont know why we bothered cos Baby D ignored all our instructions! Five minutes into his mission he noticed that Mrs Next Door had left her kitchen door open and enticed by the smell of hot toast he wandered in and blew his cover!!! Baby D is somewhat addicted to sandwiches and in our haste we forgot to give him his backpack containing his packed lunch and so his mind quickly turned to thoughts of food. He stood in Mrs Next Door's kitchen doing tricks and dancing so that she would feed him hot buttered toast and then lay down on the floor and rolled over for tummy tickles! Needless to say the mission had to be aborted and Baby D's name has been written in the 'naughty book'. Dereliction of duty I call that! He is now sitting in the corner drawing with his etch-a-sketch. One day I will share Baby D's sketches with you, they are rather weird!
So its back to the drawing board on the mission front! Ah well tomorrow is another day!

Sorry about your aborted mission - but you can't blame a pup for loving sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteBet Baby D doesn't think it was a failed mission. After all, he scored toast and tummy tickles.

It could be Dougal thought he could lull Mrs Next Door into a false sense of security with these tactics. Going from covert activities to full blown espionage amongst foreign types. Tho with no backpack and buttered toast wafting through the air, it's anyone's guess.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to find good help, isn't it?

Hamish how nice to meet you and your troop. We came to visit you via Rocky Creek Scotties. Don't keep Baby D in the dog house too long. You never know when those begging tricks might be useful in your covert actions when a distraction is needed. Thanks for the fun!
