FRIDAY FUNNY - TAKING CARE OF YOUR SCHNAUZER

Joker

Author's note: I'm sorry I was absent Monday, but my little Joker has a pinched nerve at the base of his neck which has been consuming my attention.  It's a terrible thing to hear the little guy cry and whimper in severe pain and I cannot do anything to alleviate the problem.  We have him on anti-inflammatories that are starting to help him, but we may not be out of the woods with his problem.  Our vet said, dogs can suffer the same fate as humans when it comes to disc problems and spine issues. The funny thing is... we are talking Chiropractic therapy to avoid surgery.  Go ahead... roll your eyes, but I have been known to be a bit off the deep end when it comes to my four legged babies. In light of my dilemma, I've decided to share this loving pet owners demise as she does the necessary things to take care of her own precious baby. Enjoy!

My wife found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian.

The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, trimmed the hair, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell Andrea that, if she wanted to keep this  from recurring, she should go to the store and get some Nair hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month.

Andrea went to the store and bought some Nair hair remover.  

At the register, the pharmacist told her, "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days." 

Andrea said, "I'm not using it under my arms."

The pharmacist said, "If you're using it on your legs, don't use body lotion for a couple of days."

Andrea replied, "I'm not using it on my legs either.  If you must know, I'm using it on my Schnauzer."

The pharmacist says, "Well... stay off your bicycle for about a week." 

FRIDAY FUNNY - "WE NEED TO STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES!"

Gotta go... gotta go... gotta go right now!

MEET DOG

Saw this video and just HAD to share it on my blog. I would love to meet Dog someday. He's one cool canine!  Check this out...


Pretty cool, huh?  The only thing I would suggest, is Dog have his own helmet too! Ride on guys!

FRIDAY FUNNY - WALKING THE DOG

WALKING THE DOG

A woman was flying from Melbourne to Brisbane. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sydney along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Guide dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, called her by name and said, "Kathy, we are in Sydney for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?” The blind lady replied, “No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs.”

Picture this:
All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Guide dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses!

People scattered.

They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

True story.

Have a great day and remember…

The Pilot and his pal Buddy

 ...THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.

PIC OF THE WEEK - BANDIT BOY

Today's Pic of the Week is not an awesome road, nor a cool landmark. Instead, I will share a subject you may have seen before, as he is usually large and in charge. This little creature holds a special place in my heart, and besides... he's so cute!

BANDIT BOY

My handsome "little man"... who helps me keep the rest of the brood in line. No one can get a correction from me, without Bandit jumping in and giving his two cents worth. He loves the fact that we have a Jeep now, and he loves going for R-I-D-E-S. (I have to spell it... or else!)

I'm going for a ride!

"I think we go up here and take a right, dad..."

He's is a great little navigator and loves to help drive.

Let's go mom!

I should have named him "Clown"... because he's always making me laugh!

I hope you all had a nice holiday.  Today is my last day off before settling into the new year and I'm going to relish in it all I can.  I think I'll let Bandit help me with some laundry... he likes bringing me socks!

Have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - BANDIT AND JOKER

We have two little guys (Papillions) at home who like the fact the we have a Jeep now. Before, it was all about staying behind and minding the kitties, while Harley and I went out and played on the Glides. But now, all that has changed and they have been going with us when we take off for a day of exploration.

BANDIT
Bandit looks as though he's giving me the "Hurry up mom, we've places to go and sites to see!"

JOKER
"I'm... too sexy for my ears... too sexy for my hair... uh huh."

I use a small insulated bag to pack some treats, their leashes, a water bowl and some water. Believe me... they get very excited when they see me "gathering" their things.

They love going with us these days, but by the time we get close to home...
... they're usually like this. ZZzzZZzzZZzzZZzz...

Have a great week everybody!!

FRIDAY FUNNY - WHAT IS THE MEANING OF COURAGE?

What is the meaning of courage?

Is it to fight a Bull in a bullfight without any weapon?
Is it to undertake a cross-country auto trip in a Chrysler Corporation car?
Is it to fly a fighter plane in combat?
Is it to undergo open-heart surgery knowing that the surgeon has a drinking problem?
Is it to practice free fall parachuting?
Is it to perform a root-canal on yourself?
Is it bungee jumping, wild water rafting, or canoeing down the Niagra Falls?

Bullshit... those are nothing!

THIS my friend is COURAGE!!!

Last picture I have of my dog "Lucky"

PIC OF THE WEEK - HANG ON SNOOPY!!

Today's Pic Of The Week comes from my good pal, the Road Runner.

The Road Runner makes his living driving an 18 wheeler up and down our highways and while he was enjoying the scenery on I-10 in Phoenix, AZ a couple weeks ago, he observed a group of riders as they rode passed him. He said he was quite surprised when he noticed something on the back of one of the riders bikes, but couldn't quite make out what he was seeing. He claims he had to speed up and chase these guys down so he could get the evidence he needed to help prove his tale, or in this case maybe I should say... tail!

HANG ON SNOOPY!!
I don't know about you, but this cute fella looks like he's done this before. Road Runner said when he saw him the first time, "Snoopy" was laid up against the riders back and had his head on his shoulder. He thought the dude was wearing a kids back pack at first... until the pack moved!
I'm wondering if these guys went to AZ bike week. If they did... I sure hope Snoopy had a good time.

Have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK

"I'M WATCHING YOU!!"
Last weekend, while leaf peeping at Mt. Cheaha, Harley was able to capture this handsome dog in his mirror while he waited for me to pay our way into the park.

There's a little country store with a gas pump at the entrance to the park with folks coming and going, but this pretty brown boy seemed to be very comfortable with his surroundings. He was quite amusing to watch as he walked around and greeted the guests and wagged his hellos to everyone. Apparently, Mt. Cheaha has a mascot!
Usually dogs and motorcycles don't mix, but he stayed very still when we were moving around. Thanks fella! I'll be sure and bring you a bone the next time I come back!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Monday everybody!
