Wilbur in blanket 1

Yep, he got stuck in a blanket again. I opened the door to the front porch to let some dogs in on Thursday morning, and the fleece blanket came to life, stirring and moving. Up popped Wilbur, who immediately realized he had taken the "I-shouldn't-have-done-that" short-cut to get out of the blanket and was now stuck. 

Then, in trying to extricate himself, he managed to get one leg through another very small hole and was now doubly stuck:

Oops.

Wilbur, who we have taken to calling Chief Hua Hua, or alternately Tuxedo Sam (because of his white tuxedo markings in front), or — more appropriately — the World's-Most-Expensive-Chihuahua, decided to deflect attention from his current predicament by showing us just how long his tongue is:

Please note that his tongue extends about an inch past his nose before he curled it up and brought it all the way back. No wonder he doesn't have room for it in his mouth, eh?

After admiring the tongue and then putting the camera away, I freed the embarrassed Chief Hua Hua and he scampered into the house.

    Are you sure he’s not trying to start a doggy fashion trend — wearable blankets? Very cute!

    My doxie Bogie gets stuck in his blankie too. He gives me this guilty look of “oh oh, I chewed a hole in my blankie… and now I’m stuck too. Help me Mom!”
    Wilbur is adorable!!!

    What is that opening he has his head through? It looks like an arm hole but why would there be an arm hole in a blanket? Maybe it’s a snuggie for dogs – one for bigger dogs who can’t fit their heads through the arm holes. At any cost, the little guy is the cutest!!

    As the human servant to a senior Chi myself, I love the antics of Wilbur. My Chi, Piglet, makes me laugh on a very regular basis as I am sure he does you. She also carries the white tuxedo markings in her older years but that doesn’t stop her flirtacious charm.

    Perhaps this is Chief Hua Hua’s ceremonial robe. An off-the-shoulder style with an extra long train, complemented by the tongue necktie. All the dogs will want one now.

    Thank you Wilbur! You made me smile. While my dogs have got themselves in various embarrassing predicaments over the years, the great blanket fiasco was a new one on me!

    Wilbur being Wilbur. When he gets into trouble he unfurls the tongue knowing help will soon arrive from his faithful minions.

    Reminds me of Coco Weeny Dog who once got stuck in the narrow sleeve of an old robe. At the time she did not have a narrow body. She had to be extricated; wasn’t going to get out on her own. May she rest in peace. She was a very funny dog.

    Uh Oh, fellow bloggers. RDF has fallen to 11th place in the Challenge standings. Time to recruit some new voters. And if you don’t create a log-in, you can still vote more than once daily from different computers.

    Wilbur- so glad to see that blankie is so “well loved” it now has a hole in it! Kind of reminds me of that scene in ET in the closet with all the toys, but one of the faces is super cute & “for real”. Will have to get a care pkg of hole-free fleece headed your way before the really cold weather!
