Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. It seems there is never a dull moment around here. If it were dull, then these articles would be very boring. At least, I pray, they keep you awake long enough to finish the article. It is very difficult to get newsprint off your face. Trust me! LOL. Anyway, I fell into the bathtub the other day. Yes, “into,” is correct. My master bathroom is pretty large; it has a double sink, linen closet, a huge shower, and a large bathtub located right behind the double sinks. I was covering up with suntan lotion the other day; no beach for me, just getting ready to go outside and do some yard work. I poured some lotion on my hands, bent over at the waist, and using both hands, spread the lotion to the front and back of my legs. Finished, I straighten up and before I could even think about it, I went butt-first into the tub. Dang! How did that happen? I guess I was too close to the tub edge, and when I straightened up, I tried to step back a bit, and there was nowhere to go but backwards and downwards. Somehow, I managed not to hit my head on anything, so no real damage done, other than to my ego. Plus, I should add, a tip of the hat to my guardian angel. Not quick enough to keep me from falling, but enough air clouds to soften the impact. At least there were no witnesses, but not so when I was at the local Walmart store. When I shop, I shop. I don’t like to mess around or window shop, so I gathered up my purchases and marched out the front door. I had parked fairly close to the front, and instead of going around the cars, I decided there was enough space between the front and back of the cars that I could just weave my way directly to my car. I got past the first two cars, but the third had a shopping cart located right between the two cars. This is a very big pet peeve of mine, especially in this case, since the closest cart storage area was only two parking spaces away. There was just enough room for me to squeeze by without brushing against the car or nudging the cart into the next parked car. Mission accomplished, I pulled open the driver’s car, and discovered someone sitting in the passenger seat. Yikes! My bad! Similar color and style, but my car was still two spaces further down the line. I apologized, and the occupant just laughed it off, saying that he had done the same thing. So glad to hear that!

SMILE
One night there were three fugitives escaping from jail. One was blonde, one was brunette, and one was a redhead. They had the police hot on their trail and, quickly thinking, the brunette pointed out an old, abandoned factory perfect for hiding in. When all three were inside, the redhead, quickly thinking, said they should all hide in old potato sacks in the corner, as they could hear the police approaching the factory. They all got in their little potato sacks and barely a minute later, the police came crashing through the door. They looked at the sacks and said, Hmm, maybe they are hiding in these. An officer kicks the redhead’s sack and she makes whimpering noises. Hmm, just puppies in that sack. The officer kicks the brunette’s sack and she makes mewing noises. Hmm, just kittens in that sack. He says. He finally kicks the blonde’s sack and he hears….
‘POTATOES POTATOES!’
As always be good, do good, play safe and remember; we only get so many moments, cherish them all.
