Dewi's Most Embarrassing Moment - Revisited

One year ago Sunday, we thought we'd misplaced Dewi...in the house...for about two minutes. Turns out he was practically under our noses the whole time.

Since most of you had never heard of me or this blog a year ago, why don't I just let you read what I wrote about losing and finding Dewi on that chilly January day...

(Note: on Jan. 15, I published a teaser about how we'd lost him for a couple minutes. This is where we found him...) 

Okay so obviously, he was stuck on the stairs and not swimming in the toilet bowl - or worse.  Big whoop.  A little anticlimactic, wouldn't you say?  Well, sure - if not for one other thing, which begs the question: How many steps does Dewi have to go up before he gets stuck - for 10 straight minutes?

Yep, ONE.

Poor guy couldn't go up or down.

He's clearly not a risk taker.

Hey!  Over here!

Dude, could you quit laughing and give me a hand?

My kids decided to turn the moment into a teaching session.  Well, sort of.

He never made it to the top.

(But did you notice Jon Farleigh hopping around up there?)

By the way, he eventually got over his fear...about four months later. Then about one week after that, we had to barricade the staircase. :-/

Friends, I've got a busy weekend ahead and a school holiday on Monday, so I'm giving myself a four-day weekend. woo hoo! :) I'll see you back here next Tuesday.

'Til then, happy trails!
Don't do anything I wouldn't do (which actually leaves a larger window of opportunity than you might think)!

See Dewi on The Daily Corgi today!

Oh, my! The Dew Man just made The Daily Corgi (again). I can't help but be proud of my crazy blue boy.  Go see him!

Thanks, Laurie Eno at the pawsome blog The Daily Corgi!

And this so-called pet gate gets a BIG FAT 'F'!

Can anyone recommend a pet barrier for a curved staircase opening? Seriously. This one is clearly not working.

"Here, doggie, doggie."

Contemplating the gate-break

"What? You think I'm a moron or something?"

Oh, I should also mention that Dewi never gets stuck on the stairs anymore. Who taught him to use the stairs anyway? Now, there's a moron. Oh, it was me.

On a much brighter note, The Boys and I are getting ready for an exciting (but top-secret) play date this evening with Jon Farleigh's future-lady-killer nephew, Nick (aka International Man of Mystery). We can't tell you where because it's classified. Check back tomorrow, though; we expect there will be puparazzi evidence plastered all over our tabloid blog.
