“All right, Doris — I will admit that I’m not the most social dog that ever was. I don’t mingle, or network, or whatever it is you call what you do at your little parties. I’m a simple dog; I pick a spot, I sit down, and that’s where you find me. So I don’t think you need to rub it in like this.”
I’ll have what he’s wearing, Sharon H.
He’s just practicing his posture.
I wonder if he can stand up while keeping that wine glass on his head. Good second trick!!
What ever you do .. hide the Jerky .. If you don’t, you will be calling him “Spot” as there will be a large wine spot on the carpet that you will never get out.
I especially liked I’ll have what he’s wearing” – good one. I’ll have the same.
Yes the ‘I’ll have what he is wearing’ was the winnah for me too! 😀
You’ve heard of Weimaraner, well I’m a Winemaraner.
😀 !
Well, this looks like a typically thoughtless, careless thing my ex would do. Dog will inevitably move his head, glass falls and breaks, wine stains whatever it touches, dog will jump up in alarm and cut his paws on broken glass, and I get to clean it all up. But hey, the ex found it amusing and that’s all that counts.
I upvoted for Mike’s sense of humor. I assume the downvotes are because glass and wine are both dangerous, potentially fatal to dogs. I would certainly not try this at home.
I understand why they bought red furniture, however a darker shade would have matched the wine better.
After crying a bit on my beloved Cutetropolitans’ shoulders yesterday, I thought maybe tomorrow would be better. So I started this lovely day with a nice fall. Ice is slippery, I tested it myself! Now I look like a very fashionable Dalmatian, featuring quite a few blue and purple spots (black ones are boring already).
Hope you didn’t get too hurt!!
I am OK, thank you.
Only my left arm is swollen, and it hurts here and there, but nothing serious.
I totally was not expecting a surprise attack from the ice, it was not among my plans for this morning. At one moment I was walking briskly and I was like a bug lying on its back at the next. 🙂
Ouch! Feel better! I have been attacked by ice before. I once came thisclose to landing my lower back on the curb. A few inches further back and it might have been much worse. On the up side, it was between cars in the parking lot at work and no one saw it.
Ems, so sorry about your fall. Hopefully people aren’t asking who beat you up.
Allein, I can top your story: almost fell once on an icy street where I would have ended up stuck in the storm drain! The mental picture still makes me chuckle.
Eek! Hope there were no clowns down there…
They aren’t asking, they are spreading some fake news instead 🙂
As soon as I gathered the last remnants of my dignity, stalker neighbour appeared on the scene. I was right after a fall and before my first coffee so I was a bit grumpy.
He said ” I have a gut feeling that you don’t like me”
“Then listen to it” I replied and he is still not offended 🙂
Ouch ouch ouch. So sorry to hear about this. Falls are never fun, I know having taken several of them myself. (Very gentle) Healing Hugs sent to you.
Haha how cute, very gentle healing hugs 🙂 Thank you, AJ
Have you recovered from your illness btw?
I have a co-worker, a nice lady who keeps patting my arm gently as she talks to me.
Today I almost told her “no touchie the monster” when she targeted my painful arm.
Thx for asking, I’m still on the mend. I’m not even in the cold section of the US and the crud struck me down pretty viciously but I’m slowly getting better. Antibiotics and jewish penicllin (chicken soup) have been my best friends this week.
And double ouch with someone who keeps patting your sore arm. You definitely have the right to say “No touchie the Monster”.
I fell on the ice a few days back. I realized I was going ass over teakettle and just let it happen; brought my arms up to protect my head and went limp. Got a quarter sized bruise. Next day I slipped on some water in the bathroom and fell into the sink; got a bruise the size of a paperback.
“Did you get that on the ice?”
“No, in the bathroom.”
“That’s skill.”
Thanks for the sympathy, mom.
Ouchie to you too. Stay safe out there people, there’s been way too many falls here lately and not the funny banana peel kind.
Mothers sometimes can be brutal. Mine used to say of my singing “Sounds like a couple alley cats on the back fence”. Gee thanks Mom, way to boost my confidence. No wonder I don’t sing except maybe in the car with the volume turned up.
Ooh, dear! Ice is HARD! Do keep an eye on spots that are swollen or ouchy; you can have surprise injuries that you don’t even discover until it’s almost too late to take care of them. I’d say put ice on the sore spots, but that would probably be adding insult to injury….
Putting ice on it 🙂 🙂 🙂 fighting fire with fire?
Do you know if the dog in the picture is a greyhound like your Melody or a whippet?
It’s hard to be sure, but they both look greyhoundish to me.
I say greyhound – they look pretty tall. And also my first reaction to the picture was not wondering about the wineglass but “Ooh, gorgeous greyhounds!”
Not as gorgeous as Melody, of course. 🙂
And all the ice everyone is falling on is a BIGGGGGG reason we moved first to Florida and now to Arizona. We’d had enough of that slippery stuff to last a lifetime and then some when we lived for 60+ years in Illinois!! Not to mention all that cold wet white stuff that is so hard to shovel that eventually probably turns to wet slushy stuff and more ICE!!!!
I feel ya, AJ! I have 2 cracked vertebrae courtesy of black ice in the parking lot. It was not fun and not funny, either, I hope you are on the mend!
