cody bear’s friends

hiiii.

ok, here is the other part of the story: (begin dragnet theme. or…would perry mason theme be better? you decide…) click here for part one

having lived here for 3 years, cody bear has never escaped the back yard. until recently. twice in just over a week. (note: my little guy is in doors when i am gone) the task force assembled immediately following fence break number two. task force’s objective? to fix fence if needed and to determine WHY these breakouts were occurring. breakouts were from an area in the wire fencing off the alley; fence between my large back yard and a vacant lot of scrub.

the cody bear safety task force fixed the fence and determined the following: (note: evidence verified by local police force!)

1. original chicken wire reinforcing fence had been pulled back not by a dog paw or muzzle, but something that left a kink or two in the wire.

2. someone had been tempting cody from other side of fence with rawhide chew bone (this is most certainly not cody bear’s bone. because of his gastroparesis he is not allowed under any circumstances to eat chews of any kind)

3. recently (between first and second breakout) an individual had been parking it in that spot and smoking numerous cherry flavored cigarillos.

4. earlier incident of cody bear throwing up chicken bones when no garbage was found in back yard and i do not eat meat could be related.

etc.

the evidence:

and not that this is evidence, but……

look at how cute my little guy is! naturally i want to keep him safe!

local law enforcement (mind you i have an innate and irrational fear of cops) were SUPER helpful, nice, and COMEDIC. i have never met a wise-ass like this one! i think it helped assuage my fear having a stand up comic in a cop suit. we will never know what this person was up to, only that he will be unable to continue doing it. could have just been feeding my dear sweet dog to keep him from barking while he does some shady business. could be an innocent animal lover trying to befriend my dog but may end up with a tobacco related illness.

the police believes creepy neighbor (CN) is, in fact, creepy, but that he probably isn’t the droid we’re looking for. oops, i mean the guy we’re looking for….

the task force, along with helpful officer and caring landlord, have already begun deterrents and we’re feeling very, very safe now…..(add twilight theme music….JUST KIDDING)

so that, dear blog friends, is the story.
