14 Comments until now.
The calendar showed it was the spring season; when a sudden jolt in the animal control officer’s van, caused the dog to bump into the lady’s dress (hanging there)… making it stinky ! ~
I just now checked this out, and when I arrived, I noticed that the dress figure had a large right hand. At first glance, it appeared like an obsene gesture…
The hand was my cursor!
RFOL…Too funny, Barbara!
It was a breezy spring day when I checked my calendar and realized it was time to take my dog to the Vet. We jumped in the van and I took off like a flash. The strong breeze forced me to hit a bump. I lurched sideways then noticed something stinky on my dress. The bumpy ride not only startled me but frightened my Fluffy to the point of her leaving a pile of poo on my lacy fringe!!!
Great job, ladies! Connie – love the stinky poo story. LoL
The cold brisk air served as a wake- up call as I picked up the morning paper. “Is it really still spring?” I thought, as I verified the date on the calendar in the kitchen.
Merlin greeted me with his usual morning wahoo to indicate his request for a dog bone. Today there would not be a leisurely two mile stroll around the neighborhood. I was on a mission.
I had to get snared up in my new black and white power dress to hopefully woo the Human Resource department in hiring me for the job.
I loaded Merlin in the van, and proceeded to drive first to Doggie Day Care, then to the paint store, and finally to my interview.
Without any warning, this huge pothole attacked my car. The bump in the road jolted Merlin and the egg shell gallon paint. I turned around and with my limited vision from the front seat all seemed fine.
As we approached the day care, the van was beginning to smell a little stinky and a lot like paint. I stopped the car to assess the damage. My once solid black Gordon Setter now had the body of a Dalmatian!!
Nice work, Cheryl!
Love it Cheryl!!!
Karen ran her fingers over the bump on her right temple and shuddered. No telling what would have happened had it not been for Useless. That stinky, kitty-litter-breath-now-hero dog.
“What are we going to do with that useless thing?” she’d grumbled when Larry, her husband, came home with the scrawny pup one spring day about three years ago. The name stuck.
Larry had dropped their daughter’s prom dress at the cleaner’s and came out of the store just in time to see a battered blue van careen around the corner. The passenger door flew open, and a blue flowered pillowcase landed with a plop on the curb.
The rest of the family loved the little black and white mutt. Karen tolerated it. Ignored it mostly. Until yesterday.
She didn’t usually answer the bell, but through the window she saw a young man in a shirt and tie with what looked to be a calendar. When she opened the door, the guy gave it a hard push right into her forehead. And Useless was all over him in seconds. Chased him down the sidewalk. Cops caught him three blocks away. A registered sex offender.
She bent down to hug her dog.
Stinky, pesky dog….just had to jump up and paw me in my ravishing, new spring dress! I wonder if that warrants a visit from the pest control authority …or would it perhaps be better and kinder to all, for me to accidentally bump him off? Hmmmm….my calender does not allow time to call for aid!! What to do?! Drastic action is called for – he’s going for a little ride in that eyesore of a van – all by himself! I SHALL ‘kill 2 birds with one stone!’
Spring had passed so quickly and the calendar on the wall said it would not return anytime soon. So what was I to do with a dog that gave me goose bumps when she eyed my new spring frock hanging in the closet? She was a very stinky dog and it seemed no matter where I took her or what I did to her the smell just got worse, especially when we took a ride in the van to the farm to play in the creek with the ducks and the fish. What was I to do a spring dress, a stinky dog, a ride to the farm in a van hoping for spring but knowing the calendar indicated that it was long gone? Then we hit the bump the lemon meringue pie for my grandmother flew of the seat splatter the dog and my dress. Now instead of a stinky dog and spring dress in a van I had a lemon scented dog and dress and no place to go since the pie was gone. Ah well we will try again tomorrow and maybe I will take my winter dress and the cat along with an apple pie and maybe we will make it to grandmother’s for an autumn party. Good night all. I will see you tomorrow for a new adventure.

The spring on my couch kept tearing my pants. So I marked a day on the calendar when I thought I could afford to have the couch repaired.
Unfortunately I bumped my head by walking into a low hanging tree limb, and had to spend the couch repair money on a visit to the Doctor.
When my wife and I returned from the Doctors office, we found that our dog had chewed up the dress she was planning to wear that night, to dinner at my boss’s house.
When we got home we noticed something stinky in the house. It turned out that a banana had fallen behind the refrigerator and had gone way past ripe.
I was just looking at my calendar, and realized that it was around this time last spring that I had the accident with my van. What a day that was! After a gruelling day at work, I had driven over to the groomers to pick up our newest family member, Tux . He had seemed quite anxious when I had left him so I wondered how he might have fared after his first hair cut. I hardly recognized him when he came bounding up to me looking dapper with his new “do”. We were a few miles from home when I saw the tell-tale signs of a dog about to get sick. Distracted by Tux’s dry heaves, I failed to notice the “bump” sign, and flew over it going a little too fast. Unfortunately for me, the vehicle ahead had been paying attention and had slowed down. The next thing I knew, we met bumper to bumper, Tux fell against me and proceeded to vomit all over my designer dress. What a sorry pair we were! Fortunately, no one was hurt and the attending officer was very reluctant to linger once he got a whiff of the stinky mess.
