Wordless Wednesday

Happy Valentine's Day

Hug a loved one. It will make them happy. If course, in my mom's case, chocolate will work just as well.

Just Because Dad Says So

doesn't make it true. A friend of dad's nicknamed me "the Devil Dog" but just because she did, doesn't mean I am one.

Seriously, my being a "Devil Dog" has nothing to do with eating gingerbread houses, English Muffin Bread, bananas, Triscuits, pens, pencils, Wheat Thins, popcorn, granola or chicken. Nor does it have anything to do with shredding kleenex, toilet paper, notepaper or pillow corners. It also has nothing to do with my getting on all the tables, chairs, and desks in the house. Or getting through all the barricades, knocking over the garbage cans (and spreading the garbage around), rolling in the clean laundry or getting the clean laundry out of the laundry basket so I CAN roll around in it.

It's because I am long and skinny and dark colored, like a Drake's Devil Dog treat.

Don't ask about the white filling, I'm already out on quite a limb, here. lol

Sweet Sunday

Remember to act contrite after any bout of evil doing. And then go for sweet and innocent. It works every time.

Togetherness

It means joining your parents at the table, because you want to be near them. No other reason.
Seriously, you say? Seriously, I say.

Parents are big on togetherness. Or hadn't you noticed.

Keep Your Eye On The Goal

and don't be distracted by short term goals.

Like getting the treats out of the treat cabinet and getting the cover off the dog food. These things will tip your parents off to your evil intentions. Play it straight and be good. I know, I know, it's hard, but it will be worth it in the end.

Misdirection

If your parents are starting to get suspicious with your sudden energy and activities, misdirect them by pulling the toilet paper off the roll, out of the bathroom and into the dining room. Then, when you go back to sitting on chairs, they will think you are behaving and ignore you. lol
