Cheddar Bunnies
Our friend Jason came to visit last night to pick up a crockpot he'd left during the Big Sit. Hard to believe we hadn't seen him since October 9, but we picked up where we'd left off, with a glass of wine, a nice dinner and some laughter.
Jason decided, based on recent blog posts, to upgrade Chet's snack food with some Annie's Organic Cheddar Bunnies. The kids were enthusiastic, too.
Before Jason unveiled his gift, Chet gave him a right good butting.
This is something Chet does that I can't really explain, another of his catlike behaviors. He jumps up on the lap of the long-suffering guest, and presses his rump against said guest's chest. You either like this or you don't. Gorillas are said to like to stand on people. Cats, of course, like to rub their chins on people, and wave their tails in your face. Chet butts people. It's better than some behaviors I can think of, and as long as we don't point it out, people seem to be willing to overlook it, until Chet fires. Jason looks like he's enjoying it. Hmmm. Jason.Chet was immediately galvanized by the unveiling of the Cheddar Bunnies, forgetting all about his butting mission.
He morphed from a nonchalant butt-inflictor to a shameless beggar. Note ear position: farthest forward possible. They only come this far forward for bunnies, cheddar and otherwise.
Jason whipped him into a frenzy (it's not hard to do that with a Boston; they are very suggestible) by withholding the bunnies. Chet was soon waving his paws in the air and oinking like a pig.

Rest assured Chet got plenty of bunnies.

Cheddar bennehs. They are good. Only the best for Chet Baker. Thanks, Jason, for the new snack treat. When winter's cold winds start to blow, we look for new junk foods to keep our carb fires burning. We are not paid or otherwise compensated by Annie to tout her snacks. We just grab photo ops where we find them. No actual bennehs were harmed in the making of this photo essay. This one is for Jane, who I'm sure can use a laugh right about now.

Julie, THANKS for the HEE HAW 10 minutes before my bedtime! My day is complete. You gotta love dem Bostons.
Chet is quite the character - I'm glad you share him with us!
I'm sorry, but I have to object to this bunny-eating business.
Chet Baker...The Cat Dog. (beware of Butt Petals.
You should sell t-shirts, vote for Chet ala Napolean Dynamite.
I can't spell or close parens tonight. Napoleon.
Heee, heeee, heeee.....Thanks to Jason for the snack upgrade. I think the kiddos might like them, too.
And Chet is very photogenic. I just hope there are no cheddar bunny police watching your blog. ;-)
Ok, this has gone far enough! Not only does that dog have bad manners, but he's also an imposter...

Watch those cheddar bennahs, Chet, or you will turn out like the Boston who spent the day with me today. Sox is 24.4 lbs of solid, um..... muscle? He spent every free moment today wandering from person to person begging for whatever snack food they were eating at the time. He is on the large size for a BT, but still he could stand lose to about 20% of his body weight. That's a lot of walks around the Loop! Would hate to see you turn into a "portly."

Katdoc, you have my permission to do a cheddar benneh intervention should any of my photos show Chet to be bulking up too much. He's 22.4 lb. right now, but he's on the big side framewise for a Boston. I have seen a 35 lb. Boston and he wasn't a pretty sight. So far we have ribs and a wasp waist, and plenty of Loopin'. I'm waiting for my lecture on parrots and red wine...tee hee.
You're in luck, Jules - I'm not a bird vet, so I take no stand on giving wine to macaws. (Even tho the legal age for alcohol consumption in this state is 21!)
Party on, dudes,
