On Friday morning sometime between my morning walk and my afternoon one, my leash mysteriously disappeared. This sounds like a case for Detective Chuck Billy! I began my investigation by searching both the usual and unusual places my leash could be hidden. However, I found no trace of it. I then interrogated Dad, who was the last one seen holding the leash. I accompanied him as he retraced his steps from the garage where he removed his boots, to the closet where he hung his coat, even upstairs in case he absent-mindedly carried it to work. However, yet again my search came up empty pawed. After a thorough review of the facts, this leads me to only one startling conclusion as to the location of my missing leash!

Asa: Ummm, Chuck Billy, I think I know where it is…

Detective Chuck Billy: Quiet! You’re ruining the moment! I’m about to make my big reveal!

As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, after a thorough investigation there is only one logical conclusion for the whereabouts of my missing leash. Our house is built over a portal to another dimension!

For those who have been following us for awhile, you may recall that back in 2018, almost a year to the day, Asa and I were falsely accused of hiding our nail clippers. Thanks to the expertise of our lawyer, Pye, the Guinea Pig, Esq, we were exonerated of those false charges. However to this day our nail clippers were never found. In addition, some of you may also recall that same spring, a Pink Flamingo mysteriously disappeared from our yard, only to return a month later, without any clue as to where it had been.

You have to ask yourself, could it be that our home is built over a portal that leads to another dimension? This Dog Detective says, “YES!” To further prove my theory, when was the last time anyone has mentioned something going missing over the Bermuda Triangle? Could it be the triangle has shifted to Maine? Again, my answer is a resounding, “YES!” However, the question now becomes how do I retrieve my beloved leash from this portal?
