A dog story

 Well, not really, but this post has a lot of doggie elements to it.  But first...

Last night it was me and the grandboys for a few minutes.  Their dad had put all the stuff on the couch for them to be able to play playstation ( or whatever game setup it is) so Isaiah could pack it in the duffel while he took a shower.  Somehow, Isaiah forgot to pack, of all things, the controllers!  So KC ran back to get them, and Laurie was out.  First off, I told them, "If your dad comes back and says the controllers were on the couch, Isaiah is the poop head; if (as Isaiah claimed) they weren't, your dad is the poophead." To which Grayson replied, "I am the poophead!"  Isaiah and I looked at eachother and said, well okay then.  Moments later, I opened their happy meal toys- "li'l" Shaggy and Daphne from Scooby-Doo, with fright masks.  They decided to play school with them.  "We will be studying biology," Isaiah announced.  Then he asked his "pupils" this question:

"What is the square root of a tree?"

I later said, "You don't know what biology is, do you?"  Isaiah said no, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Now some doggie pictures.  From Wednesday:

The look at the new door paint job I promised last time

The river is very anemic now...

KC had come over Thursday night, and had bought himself a new outfit, with hat, shades, shirt, and shorts.  Along with a 10% ABV "hard lemonade" that tasted more like apple juice + everclear, and so when I finally decided to get a pic of the outfit, it looked more like I took a picture through his eyes and not my camera:

On the subject of dogs, you might remember on my last music post, I mentioned AJR's A Dog Song.  The next week, I never did an M10 because Laurie was on vacay and I spent the time with her.  So this week, the chart had some extreme moves, and one of them was that A Dog Song debuted at #2- a thing that has ever happened only once before (and I swore I would never do again), and this time with an asterix beside it...

This morning was Misty's vet appointment- she has to get a shot for her Addisons Disease once a month.  So instead of a walk, we went to the bark park.  She has a "schedule" she keeps at the dog park, and first on the list is to tear across the length of it at what I assume to be top speed.  I noted today, it takes her about 3 seconds to cover the distance, so when we got home, I google earthed the length of the dog park (133 feet) and asked AI to figure her speed based on my 3-second estimate (because it's far too early to math).  And the answer I got was that Misty hits 30.23 MPH. So if you wonder why we go everywhere on her leash, there's your answer.

She's also known since yesterday that this morning was "shot in the butt" day- and was she ready!  She LOVES the car ride.  My plan was to show you the "exotic dancing" she does when we go to head for the car on video, but...

...of course she didn't do it this time.  Just standard running around.  Misty's the poop head!
