The Studio

A week ago on Monday morning while snow was coming down I got ready to go to work. I called the dogs to say goodby and there was no Jed.  I continued to call and look and no Jed.  Finally I heard a sound under the deck.  He had crawled under and gotten stuck way up toward the house where there is just a little space between the deck and the ground.  No matter how much calling and coaxing I did, he could not come out.  The good news was this was not the first time this had happened.  He did it last summer while I was away and the dog sitter had to get someone to cut a hole in the deck to get him out.  So I thought, “Ok, I just need to remove the wood screws from these boards that were cut and replaced and he’ll pop right out”.  Of course, it could not be that easy.  My little drill wasn’t hardy enough to pull those heavy screws out.  So I called Allen in a panic.  He was out-of-town on a job an hour away.  So I panicked again.  I called several other people but no one was around.  Finally Allen called back and said he reached his plumber who had the right equipment and would come by to help me.  They arrived (father and son) about 10 minutes later and within another 10 minutes they had the boards up and a muddy Jed out of his trap.  Woo Hoo!  I was so relieved and so grateful.  I didn’t know how to thank these guys (who are also dog lovers).  Finally it occurred to me a couple of days later that everyone loves cupcakes so I made these chocolate pupcakes for them.  I tried to make them look like Jed.  They loved them.  And I love Sunlite Plumbers!  They did some plumbing work for me a few weeks ago and did a great job….plus they rescue stuck dogs on the side.  What’s not to love about that???!!!
