Anyway... the first thing that happened was Benji's big red ball popped on the Christmas Tree in the back corner of the yard. Benji was devastated, he kept going back and forth to the ball checking to see if the ball magically had air in it...unfortunately the ball is beyond repair. Fortunately we have another ball, butt that ball is losing air fast. Mommy promised to buy Benji another ball.

The second thing that happened is that Mommy found a key in the yard while she was on Pooper Scooper Duty. Mommy thought that it was odd to find a key in our yard. The first thing that came to her mind is ... which one of you boys has a girlfriend dog who gave us a key to their house!
Mommy, we don't have girlfriends (yet). The key is not ours.

Fortunately my Super Hero Cape arrived just in time in the mail to help solve the mystery of key. Mommy ordered a Super Hero Cape and a T-shirt from Big Honey Dog's Store http://bighoneydog.com/ you can get to the store from her blog. The Super Hero Cape is marked as an "APRON" in the store, butt we all know it's a Super Hero Cape with a convenient pocket built right in it to store toys and dog treats! (Hey Superhero dogs need to eat and play too.)

Some of you may ask, why do I get the Super Hero Cape and Benji only gets the T-shirt. That's because I am the head of the house and Benji is only a Super Hero in training. Benji doesn't focus on the job ahead, he only focuses on the toys and treats in my cape, so, Benji doesn't get his own Cape.

We still have a lot of detective work. So far we know it's not the key to our house and it's not the key to Mommy's sister's house. Mommy asked her brother if he lost a key and he didn't think so.
I think its a key to buried treasure!
Benji thinks its a key to a dog treat store!
Do you have any suggestions what the key might be for?

p.s. By the way, the Aluminum Foil "Super Sheltie" that Mommy made from recycled Aluminum Foil ages ago is not available to help us solve this mystery -- Mommy kinda tore his red cape while hanging up Christmas Stockings last month and is waiting for Valentines Day to see if she can get a big piece of red aluminum foil on a chocolate to re-do his cape.

Ohhhhh, who doesn't love a mystery? This sounds like it is straight out of a Nancy Drew Book! Fun!
ReplyDeleteSurely, you two must begin digging very LARGE holes in the backyard. Only then will you find the map that will lead you to the treasure box.
Love your cape Lassie! You never know when you're going to need the help of a super hero, and now I can on you! Maybe when you wear the cape, you will be able to reach all the stuff up high that Honey can ~ like swipe food off the kitchen counters. NOt that HOney would do that, but superheroes are allowed to do such things!
I think it is the key to your moms heart - she left it there for you guys to find because she looooooves you so much :)
ReplyDeleteI love the super capes. The cape crusader and his side kick.
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm sorry Benji's ball broke! I'm sure your momma will find a new one real quick.
ReplyDeleteAs to the mystery... HMM!! Do any neighbor kids cut through your yard sometimes as a shortcut?
thanks for the info about the store. I am going to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI have a Super Hero cape too. ...ok, so it's a Photoshop cape. But it's still super.

Maybe you need a Detective Hat of some sort, like Sherlock Holmes used to wear. I'm sure your mum can come up with something!
ReplyDeleteWho has been in your back yard guys? That's just weird. You DO look very dashing in your super hero capes though!
