The dogs were mooching about in the sunshine, when I noticed Chico was missing. Kept calling, kept looking - nothing. I was getting a bit frightened because I'd put some washing in the washing machine, including a giant size duvet cover. Supposing he'd curled up inside the pile of washing and I'd put him in the machine?! He's so light I probably wouldn't have noticed. I was peering at the washing going round, wondering whether to try and wrench the door open, when I heard a scratching - he'd somehow shut himself in the downstairs loo. Phew! Though I think it will make me check where he is in future when I shove a pile of clothes in the machine.
Me too! I do know of a kitten who was killed in a washing machine - the owner thinks it must have jumped in without her noticing when she was filling it. Very upsetting. Chico has now done an Andrex puppy - there's toilet roll unravelled all the way down the stairs and along the hall.
I sometimes think "him up there" that created small dogs did it to give their owner hearts attacks! This afternoon I planted some pansies only to find half an hour later the ickle black devil had dug them all up!
Happy the little one is safe. But truth be told I was laughing so hard almost had beer come out my nose with the description in "did you throw the dog in the washing machine by mistake' One advantage of owning a giant breed, you never put them anywhere by mistake.
It is scary when they go missing Chloe often sneaks off to the sunny patch in the spare room and the door shuts so she can't come when called and I panic .. Relieved you found Chico Janet
It's probably just as well the two of them will never meet! Imagine the mayhem the pair of them would cause!
