Don't be surprised if you find his picture in the post office

He may look innocent but he committed a horrible crime this afternoon. It all started when I took him to the groomers for some tlc. I normally do it myself but figured he'd get pampered and I wouldn't have to worry about it this weekend. The groomer immediately fell in love with Sam. She kissed him on his head, his face, his mouth...personally, if she knew where his mouth has been......

Anyway, I felt relaxed that Sam felt comfortable with her so I left her in charge. Three hours later, I was back to collect Sam. One of the ladies came out and asked if I could come back to where the kennels were. Gulp. I knew something had happened. Apparently, the groomer, the one that had been kissing all over Sam, went to get Sam out of the kennel and he bit her lips and took off a small portion of the top and bottom of her lip. She was applying pressure to stop the bleeding while others surrounded her, wanting her to go to ER. I felt like the parent of a convict. I glared at Sam but instead of Sam glaring back, he wagged his tail. He was happy to see me.

I started panicking at the thought of a lawsuit. I started to tell Sam to say, "Sorry" but then I realized that Sam is a dog and if he even uttered something close to sorry, it would be a miracle in the making. So, I apologized profusely and prayed that they wouldn't sue me for the damage done to her lips.

From now on, I'll stick to grooming Sam here at home. I just can't chance his going to the slammer for life.

First rule of dog groomers: don't play kissy-face with a new dog!

I'd have bitten her too. Just sayin'

Maybe she had eaten something really delicious for lunch and he just couldn't resist.

OMG....I would be scared too, people are so lawsuit happy these days.

Sam looks so innocent like he could not hurt a fly.

OH NO. I'm surprised she was kissing the dog. You never know what they will do, tame or not! I got bit in the nose once and that sucker would not stop bleeding! Served me right though for sticking my nose where it didn't belong!

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
