The joy of satire

I ran across this today and just had to put it here for future reference or when I need a chuckle.

Long and Winding Road

I drove down to Bro's house yesterday afternoon (about 140 miles) and got the title and registration for the car. Now, I get to go switch out the van for the car and take it to DMV to register it. YEE-HA!
Had a great time watching the boys watch Bro's new fish while at his house. All three boys were facinated at his African Knife eating little feeder fish.

We got home around 9 or so, just in time to get #3 son in bed and bully #1 & #2 sons into bed then crash myself. Ah, it was so good to not be sitting!

Today I get to meet with the school(s) staff(s) for the twins and see when they get to start school. I love spending time with my boys, but I am SO looking forward to them being back in school!



Chainsaw massacre, or dog waging tail?

I have two dogs. They are big, I mean REALLY big. My two Great Danes are wonderful, sweet, happy, loving dogs.

Indigo, my 5 year old spayed bitch, is happy, mellow and very affectionate. Pal, my (on the 17th) 2 year old intact male is overly affectionate, very clumsy, extremely loving and suffers from "happy tail syndrome".

Happy tail syndrome is seen only in large breed dogs. Basically it is caused by vigorous wagging of the tail in the vicinity of furniture or in hallways. In Pal's case, on an almost daily basis, we are surrounded by blood splattered walls after he shows us his joyous appreciation for our presence in his life.

The walls are easy to clean up (unless the paint is flat, but this is not the case in our new home). The hard part is medicating and taping his tail to prevent the appearance of our home having gone through a chainsaw massacre.

Picture this, two adults, chasing, wrestling to submission and holding a 170 pound dog in order to paint the tip of his tail with aniseptic, then wrapping it with sports tape. If we only had a third adult with a cam-corder we could enter funniest videos, and I believe we would win.
