Hello Jeepy #8
Say hello to Jeepy #8, the newest Hound Mobile, Beagle/Basset Transport Device, Royal Carriage for Carriage of the Tranquilized His Imperial Majesty The Roux to the Veterinarian Facility, etc., etc., etc.
This one is the newly redesigned 2018 Compass. It’s like driving a sports car-lotsa fun. It follows our 92 Cherokee, 98 Cherokee, 01 Wrangler, 05 Grand Cherokee, 08 Liberty, 12 Grand Cherokee, and 17 Grand Cherokee. Remembering all that makes my brain hurty.
The hounds have not had a ride yet. They see it as a necessary evil; it brings food and Unca Frankie home, but transports them to the vet. A rather mixed bag.
Next up: new phones, and His Majesty, His Court and His churls will be moving to a new palace, from which He may conquer new territories and be outraged by the existence of new things. Stay tuned!Posted by Steve Pollock on Monday, March 19, 2018
We Want Dinner!
What happens when Unca Frankie goes to the store without first serving dinner to the Royal Family.
(Kinda funny/sad at the end is Bosco, who is now pretty much just lying around, but who still feels well enough to join in the howling. I think he’s turned another corner and we don’t have long. Lotsa pain pills, lotsa love. As Dolly Parton says in “Steel Magnolias,” “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion!” Lotsa that around here lately.)Posted by Steve Pollock on Thursday, March 15, 2018
Scenes from Old Age …
[Scenes from old age (level 54 edition)]
From “Mail Call Three” episode of M*A*S*H (S6,E20; 1978, when I was 15), Radar complaining about his widowed mother having a boyfriend and maybe getting married:
“Old people shouldn’t get married. SHE’S ALMOST 50!!”
Get off my lawn, O’Reilly!
