G man had about $37.00 in his pocket Thursday last week....over the weekend the money went missing at the cottage. He thought maybe I took it, no not me....maybe Jenny G....no she did not either. Maybe he dropped it. No not him, he is very careful.


Uh huh.....like the time he dropped a fifty in the restaurant and a guy returned it, or the time he dropped a twenty in the parking lot at the grocery store which I found, or how about the time G man dropped a twenty at Tom Wahls burger place and Double G handed saw it and gave the twenty back, or the time in Florida he dropped a roll of bills in the aisle at Costco. Or how about the many times you dropped a bunch of money at the crap tables in Vegas.....ok maybe those Vegas drops were legit.....but what about the other drops? Yep you are really careful.


Yesterday on my way out the door to the car I noticed an unusual pile of dog poop on the sidewalk. Normally I just step over piles of dog poop that I have not yet picked up. Except yesterday's looked intriguing to me. There was just a few little turds and one longer papery looking turd with poop smeared over it. This pile of poop was begging to be looked at closer. I started to laugh and called G man over so he could conduct the investigation.


He looked at the turd, then at me, and said no way. Yep it is. The missing money. Well part of it anyway. After G man put on a pair of disposable gloves and examined the money with a pair of pliers he discovered that only $7.00 made up the money turd, and not all of the $7.oo was there. Some of the 2 singles and a 1/4 of the five were still missing. The twenty and ten were no where to be found.

We think our Cavalier, Belly, ate the money. He has been known to eat 25 feet of hemp string( which resulted in $1500.00 worth of surgery), bathrobe ties, cardboard, paper, latex gloves, and thong underwear. So chances are fairly good that Belly is the culprit. Plus G man remembered he placed the money, his cell phone, sunglasses, and a variety of other items from his pockets on our bed before he took a shower. Belly was "sleeping" on the bed at that time.

G man has been looking around the yard for the other bills, I have been watching Belly to make sure he does not appear sick. So far the dog is good. G man has not fared so well. He has not found the other part of the missing money. In a few days G man will give up and accept that the money is gone. At least this time he did not drop the money. Well,..... in an indirect way he did.
