The Adventures of Bubba Khunnish

Not that long ago in a county not too far away there once lived a small pup who was known to most people as BJ, but little did they know that he was also a great adventurer and sleuth on a scale you can’t even imagine. Step aside Indiana Jones, Bubba Khunnish is on the job.

It was an ordinary night and time to head to bed. I do like to sleep under my camouflage you can never be too careful.

What morning already? I’m still dog tired.

Heading out for duty checking the perimeter of the property. Those sneaky gophers. They don’t stand a chance.

Seems like the gophers are learning to stay out, no problems so far. Looks like they are finally learning a little respect.

And then it happened I caught a scent of something disturbing. There had been a security breach of some kind. I would definitely have to dig into this to solve this case. I knew one thing it was not a gopher.

I’ve found the scent. You may not know this fact, but a good dog detective rolls in the scent. It’s like a fingerprint that the silly human detectives use to find the culprits. I know the creature or whatever it is came right across the yard under the cover of darkness.

Yep, the creature went right through here. Good old Shadow must have been sound asleep. Now we really have problems.

I better pack my lunch something tells me this is going to be a long day.

First I check every square inch of the courtyard.

The backyard search is officially completed. I give it some thought and try to figure out what vial creature dared to encroach on our property.

Let me in quick! I know what I

will have to do.

I am always on alert. I don’t get

much credit for it either. It’s a dog’s

life.

The first thing I need to do is not to arouse too much suspicion. I don’t need my humans knowing what I am really capable of doing. If they ever found our I would never get any rest. The fame would be too much. Who knows they may want me to star in a reality show. I prefer to do my crime fighting anonymously. Good they are leaving, so I can get to work.

First I start my research. Bugs? Not likely. Creatures that glow, well, we are close to the river, but it doesn’t smell that fishy.

Definitely the scent was in the prickly and poisonous category, now which one to choose.

I dig into my research, but I do find this tedious and exhausting.

Then I drift off to sleep.

My dreams were nightmarish I dreamt I was being attacked by enormous spiders. Yikes! I quickly woke up. I better get on the case in a hurry. The family needs me.

I better look into my closet of disguises. It will have to be a good one to sneak up this hideous creature.

I considered my “Old Griz, Kyle” disguise, but I had a little trouble with the armband. I decided this would be a difficult one to work in finding the right disguise can really be difficult.

Then I tried the laundry basket to see what was available, but got stuck in women’s underwear again! Man this is embarrassing.

Better check out my girl Lacey’s room, she always has good stuff. I’ll just see what she left me. Doo ta doo. . .I hope they are still out of the house. I saunter in inconspicuously and look around.

A Griz cheerleader? Nah, the pom poms are too

noisy for sneaking around

in. Better try something else.

Then I find just the right thing for a crime fighting crusader. It’s good old #37. I do have dreams of being a Montana Grizzly. By the way, I could have sworn they would have taken me to college. Especially after all the hours I spent doing homework and surfing the web and all.

I thought about the disguise, but how can a big old buff Griz sneak up without being noticed? So, I’ll keep on looking.

Then I thought I could try my Hawaiian tourist look. I wondered if the creature had a shell. Then decided to try some other looks this was definitely too girly.

I considered blending in as a Mariner, but carrying the mitt and ball would be a problem.

I look at a dew-rag, but then I remembered I didn’t have a Harley, so that wouldn’t work.

Next I tried my John Wayne look I figured I would look like I was just our riding around checking the fences on the property. Well, no horse available. What good is a cowboy without a horse? So I’ll keep looking.

The next disguise was a long shot, maybe, maybe not. The masquerade ball look. It has its possibilities.

But then I felt just plain stupid.

I consulted the only crystal ball in the house. It said to ask the gorillas and the giraffe. Great what is this Toy Story?

The gorillas said it was definitely a jungle creature and the giraffe said they agree they are seen in Africa. Check our the egg for a clue.

They told me it hatched out of a Ukrainian egg, so it definitely is a bird or a reptile. I get the scent and get a plan. Its time to spring into action.

It is time to get this “Monkey off of my back!” I have to solve this case.

I’m trying something more manly, how about some, camouflage, much better, but not a good fit.

I even tried the old wheelchair for paraplegic dogs, but found it not fitting so great. Too much begging I suppose. Also, it reminded me of my wounds from the adventure I had a few years back battling that vicious rogue rodent, but no time for that story now.

I searched for just the right glasses and then checked my compass to head off to the great outdoors.

I thank my lucky stars the mom finally got the leash to head out, she doesn’t even know the danger they are in. Now I can check the outer boundaries of the property.

I let Shadow in on the news and she quickly springs into action. Let’s spread out and search the area. If it’s here we’ll find it. Let’s get going. There is no time to waste.

We search near and far, before the scent grew faint.

“Hurry up, Shadow!” “Don’t get bossy you little squirt!” “I’ve been doing this for years.”

I’ll check out the boat, I know it is around here somewhere.

This is the spot! I can just feel it in my bones. Let my good old Dachshund nose lead me to that deadly creature. The family will so thank me for sniffing it out.

Let’s stand back and take a good sniff in the winds. Ah ha! I’ve located it.

Gotcha and not a minute too soon!

The sneaky slithering snake hiding under the kayaks. The danger was headed off by the Dynamic Duo of Bubba Khunnish and Shadow.

Oh, was that mother ever proud of our efforts. I reminded her that we needed a little “Running of the Bones.” Kind of like “Running with the Bulls in Spain” only better.

Mighty fine pay for a good day’s work.

Well, after all of that you’d think

they would throw some ribs on the

barbecue, hmmm. Humans who can figure them out!

Then I head in for a well deserved siesta in the spa. Ah yeah, this is the life. That monkey is finally off of my back. I can relax now. Yeah, life is sweet. I resume my role as good old BJ, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. zzzzzz . . . .

The adventures continue. . .
