Farmer H has still not seen our mystery puppy. Pups was here only an hour before he got home, yet gone or in hiding when SilverRedO drove up.
I don't know what's going on with our dogs. I have changed my town schedule by a couple hours since the time change, so I don't have to drive into the setting sun. Maybe that's why I've been missing them. Maybe not. It's odd for both Jack and Scarlett to be missing when I leave and come back. There are treats at stake, you know!
Farmer H thinks Scarlett has found another family. I used to suspect she was two-timing me with another petter, but now she does not smell like perfume as she did back then.
I think maybe some hunters are out here getting ready for deer season. We're a pretty populated area these days, compared to when Farmer H first built our Mansion, but everybody has a 10-acre plot, so there's room to hunt if you know what's in the background where you're shooting. Very hilly. Unlikely to shoot a house. And there are plenty of deer roaming around.
Monday afternoon, I smelled a campfire. Not a trash fire from somebody burning cardboard boxes in a barrel. Actual hickory smoke. So maybe Jack and Scarlett have befriended (more likely are being a nuisance to) somebody who comes out here occasionally, getting their hunting site ready. The season starts this weekend. We'll know when the dogs start dragging random deer bones into the front yard.
If Pups actually belongs to somebody, maybe Scarlett has been hanging out at that house for a portion of the day. Then they both come here for a while. Jack might be going to look for Scarlett when he gets bored.
Monday, I noticed that Scarlett's food bowl was gone! What in the Not-Heaven? Did she tie it up in a red bandana on a stick, and take off down the gravel road? That metal bowl was nowhere to be seen. Not anywhere on the porch, not under the shelf, not under GassyGJr, not on the lava rocks that line the sidewalk, not under the carport where Farmer H parks SilverRedO. Farmer H had not even noticed. He said he will look in the front yard/field. Of course, he'll have to start getting home before dark for that.
I do not like change. This missingness of the dogs needs to resolve.

The missing food bowl adds a highly suspicious element, I think you need to get some doorbell cameras and have them aimed at both porches and the yards, linked to your computer, so you can see who is coming and going and stealing dog food bowls. Genius and The Pony can probably help with setting those up.
River,
Genius is shockingly reluctant to help with my computer issues, now that he lives in Pittsburgh, making over twice my highest salary, and not needing to answer to me for anything!
The Pony is too busy working, and claims to not know much about that kind of stuff.
Of course you know my stance: doorbell cameras could be SPYING ON ME!
And they'd probably catch Farmer H peeing off the porch too...but you'd see FedEx and Amazon deliveries arrive or get tossed in.
River,
HE JUST DID THAT! An hour ago, off the back porch, in full sight of me! I don't know why he built the Mansion with three toilets. The porch cameras wouldn't help the deliveries left outside the garage doors for us to drive over...
