Stuck

Remember that Winnie the Pooh story where Pooh ate too much honey and got stuck in Rabbit's hole? He had to stay there overnight and endure a starvation diet until they could pluck him out.

Well, there once was a time when our friendly little French bulldog was of a slim girth that allowed her to fit through the cat door. That time passed over 6 months ago when her girth matured into a more normal bulldog stockiness. But on Saturday, that didn't stop her from trying.

Some neighbors came by with a stray dog they had found running around with a broken chain around its neck. Vivien was so eager to play with the dog that we had to put her inside (she's not fixed yet and she might be going into heat). A little while later, when I came around the corner to the garage, this is what I saw.


She wasn't making any sounds, but she was stuck alright. It took me some effort to squeeze her through. No overnight starvation diet necessary, although she did have to endure the indignity long enough for me to snap some pictures.
