You know what I’m talking about… where is that blasted remote!? We seem to lose it all the time… or rather, one of the four floating around in this room. And since no American home is complete without a shrine to the TV and those TVs and other devices are now created with minimal buttons on them, therefore forcing you to use the remotes… we’re kinda screwed.

This time, it’s the remote to the satellite that is missing. The only buttons on the bloody box are the power button and channel up and down. Last night, I left the remote sitting on the back of the couch, this morning, it is gone. It’s not behind the couch, so I can only figure it’s in the cushions. E’s throwing a fit about watching or not watching some show so I send him on a mission to find the remote.

He’s rummaging under the right couch cushion, where the remote should be hiding. He puts the cushion back down and sits on it and says that he can’t find it. In that second, the satellite goes to that annoying customer service channel.

The remote! She must be nearby!

I rummage through the cushions but can’t find it, either. I get behind the couch and pull it back and ask Elijah if it’s under there. No… but there are some toy cars. He gets the cars out and I put the couch back down. I rummage through the other cushions. When looking under the left one, I see the side fabric moving. I hear Rimshot sniffing and I figure he’s smelling up alongside the outside of the couch.

A few minutes later, I walk around back again and think to myself… where’s Rimshot?

Rimshot!

Rimshot!

Then I realize, he’s under the couch!

Stupid dog! He apparently was under there when Elijah was getting the cars out and got trapped since he can be kinda dumb. Good to know he’s small enough that the couch (that is pretty much to the floor on all sides) can’t necessarily crush him.

I let him out then come around still looking for that stupid remote. Can’t find it. Put the couch down again. Rimshot! Get out from under the couch! I guess he didn’t learn his lesson the first time. Luckily for him I realized he was missing otherwise who knows how long he’d have been under there? :P

So the blasted thing is still missing. I know it has to be in the couch there somewhere, but we just can’t find it for anything!
