Tendonitis

You have tendonitis? How did that happen? It's a great mystery. I guess we'll never know.

Yes. A great mystery. I guess we’ll never know.

(Terriers may look all little and cute, but they weight as much as a cinder block.)

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Another Derailment

...And in other news, there was yet another train derailment in Ohio... See? That just proves it. Nothing good comes from Ohio.

What do you mean? I’m not from here?

Toxic Rain

Ooh, look. Two tails! Is rain supposed to be green? I don't remember carrots having eyes.

Yeah, we live kind of close to East Palestine.

I like my tail, but I’m happy with just one.

Kiss of Death

I feel like such bad luck. Every time I try to do something, it fails. If I buy a product from a company, it goes out of business. If I train for a career, it becomes obsolete.
One time I applied to work in an other country, and it was plunged into a civil war from which it still hasn't recovered.
Now I've volunteered to work the fundraising dinner at church. I wonder if I will destroy a whole religion or only a congregation. Honestly I feel like the kiss of death.
Maybe if you brushed your teeth more often?
Oof

See? I told you I don’t get any respect.

Shhh!

Crunch!

Toby and I were out for a walk the other day. As neared his nemesis’s house, (star of such posts as The Great Roundup, and The Day After ), I noticed he was completely silent. Not even his tags jingled as he tiptoed down the street. Realizing he was trying to sneak past the little dog’s house so she wouldn’t come after him, I did my best to imitate his soundless gait. It is hard to walk on stones in boots and not make noise, though. Every time my shoe crunched on a piece of gravel, I got serious stink eye from my boy. He doesn’t know how hard it was for me not to laugh every time he glared at me. Any neighbors looking out their windows must have thought us both crazy as we crept in silent slow motion past their homes.

Thanks to you, you big-footed elephant, I almost got bit!

Some time in the not-too-distant future a can of Halt! will be delivered. Paws crossed it will work to discourage other dogs from coming after Toby. Better still, hopefully we never have to use it.

After my experience with my GP’s office, I decided to contact the neurologist directly to see if I could schedule an appointment. When I call, I am only able to reach an answering machine. So far I have called every day and left a total of 10 messages, but no one has called back. I guess in the new world, squeaky wheels are ignored and not greased.

Nude Reclining on Sofa – Oil on Canvas

Toby insisted that I paint this picture for him. (He is fascinated with pretty girls.)

I would be even more interested if the painting smelled like something other than linseed oil.

Toby’s Grumpy Christmas

Aaagh!!
What's the matter? I am so angry! I didn't get what I asked for this Christmas.
Wht did you ask for? Bitches and Ho Hos. Did you mean "ho's"?
No, "Ho Hos". I like frozen Ho Hos.
Then what are you doing with mom's stocking? I'm off to make her some homemade "coal".
But why? Well it's obvious Santa doesn't care about puppies, but maybe he'll listen if a human tells him something.

Toby is usually gentle with his toys. Geordie was the one who dealt with stress by destroying stuffed animals. At Christmas, Toby was so agitated by lack of exercise and being unable to poo that he destroyed his gifts as soon as he got them. (Then he went back to the tree looking for more.)

He was really upset when I had to finally take the tree down. I think he was hoping more gifts might appear.

(Sorry. Dopey mommy got tendonitis and is behind in her storytelling as a result.)

Creamed Cabbage

Hey jerk. Hey twerp.
You know how kale is just loose-leaf cabbage, and you can make creamed kale with it? Yeah.
So, if yoiu wanted you could make creamed head cabbage...even using one of those purple ones? I suppose.
Doesn't it seem dishonest that the results would come out all pink and lavender like a tasty confection? I mean, it's cabbage!
By the way, when is mommy's birthday again?

You’ve heard of putting sauerkraut in chocolate cake, haven’t you? Well….
