As I was enjoying my morning ritual pot of tea on the side porch and reading the latest news from The Week, Stretch started barking incessantly in the yard. Annoyed, I got up from my post to reprimand him. Instead of the usual squirrel or cat, Stretch was barking at two construction workers from next door who were taking a break. The workers were leaning over their deck, watching Stretch, clearly amused by him.
"What's his name?"
"Stretch."
"That's a good name. We jus' been callin' 'im Gater-bait."
Nice. Should I be amused or alarmed that these very country Cajun workers have dubbed my wiener dog "Gater-bait"? Hmmm..... Well, he is the sweetest little gater-bait there ever was, though :)

ReplyDeleteWow - posting a comment on your blog is like going through customs! I had to swim through lots of security measures just to post "HA!". But I guess that's better than some weirdy posting on here. Oh wait...
