Once Upon a Time

The title of this story is.....You Can't Lose a Good Chiweenie

Once a upon a time a Queen went out for her morning run. Since she had a new Chiweenie, she ran laps around the school so that the Chiweenie could be off leash during the exercise session and the Queen could get in a good workout. (Young Chiweenies shouldn't run for 4 miles on a leash). So the queen is running laps, in the dark (its 5:30 am). The Queen's trusty Labrador is by her side the whole run. The Chiweenie was darting in and out of the run. The Queen finished the run and did some lunges and squats. (Note: this is not one of those stories where the queen is a big fat out of shape queen.)

This is when the Queen noticed that the Chiweenie was no longer darting about. In fact, there was NO Chiweenie anywhere to be found!!!

The Queen swore like a sailor.

Then the Queen did laps around the school looking for the Chiweenie and whistling.

No Chiweenie! (Note: The trusty Labrador was secretly doing a happy dance!)

So the Queen decides to run the route she normal takes home from the school hoping the Chiweenie was smart enough to head home. (Note: the Queen quietly notes that the Chiweenie's brain is the size of a pea and it is unlikely that she could find her way out of a paper bag. But there is always hope).

So the Queen and the trusty Labrador run home, whistling the whole way. (Note: not whistling like the 7 Dwarfs, whistling like calling a Chiweenie).

When the Queen got back to her castle, there was NO Chiweenie and the King was in the front window looking out and clearly wondering where his Chiweenie was. When the Queen entered the castle, the King jokingly asked, "Dd you lose my Chiweenie?" To which, the Queen replied, "Yes - she is gone." At first the King could not believe the words of the Queen.

But when the Queen got the keys to her rig and headed out the door to search for the Chiweenie, the King new it was true. The King, being a trusty and helpful King, started to get his bicycle while the Queen jumped in her rig. As the Queen was backing out the rig, the King declared, "There is the Chiweenie!!!"

Across the foggy street, came the Chiweenie, running like a boogie man was chasing her!

The Queen had doubted the Chiweenie could find her way home -- But as a wise man once said, "You can't lose a good Chiweenie"!

OK....the wise man was actually Grandpa Roy and he said, you can't lose a good dog but the morale of the story sounds better as..."You can't lose a good Chiweenie!"
