Stinky Pete and Sniffer Dog:

Today we had a bizarre problem. Stinky Pete went missing. Help!

You will probably wonder who Stinky Pete is?  Stinky Pete is a character in one of Jarryn's favourite movies, Toy Story 2 (we skip all the scary parts for him). He talks endlessly about it. Most times he likes to pretend he is Buzz Lightyear or Woody. But when he is 'naughty' about not going to the toilet we all call him Stinky Pete and he thinks it is a big joke. Well, today we lost Stinky Pete soon after he became stinky. We started searching frantically for Stinky Pete. We could smell him but we could not find him! Panic! We called others in to help.

Then an idea came into my head, our dog Skatijie is a very good sniffer of unpleasant things. I brought her into the house to check if my theory was right. She took a while to get used to what I was telling her. But then she clicked and went straight away to Jarryn's favourite book corner, amongst the exercise balls. I should have know he would chose that spot to go to sleep in. Skatjie was very pleased with herself for finding Stinky Pete as she got a reward of lots of patting and a photograph - she must think she is a photography star! (Though she is really just a normal dog who usually behaves the same in that she always likes to find unpleasant smells.)

And that is the conclusion of our Stinky Pete and Sniffer Dog saga.
