The art of distraction

This morning we had a dog "event" that I thought I'd write about, even though I'm not going to write all about it, cause, well, it's sort of embarrassing.

So, here goes.

Willie and Frankie both like to wake me up in the "morning". ("Morning" is in quotes cause I usually roll out of bed around 11-12, which for most people is lunch-time. If you have a problem with this, bite me.)

Anyway, this particular morning, Willie awoke with "morning wood" (or "lunch-time wood" if you prefer). Ew.

Then he and Frankie started wrassling and "it" happened.

Frankie stepped on the piece of "wood". Ow.

From that point on, the piece of "wood" would not go back to it's normal state. (I am so not going to describe this any further. Here's a more professional description.)

Willie couldn't even sit or lay down. I guess it was painful. It sure looked painful, although I tried NOT to look.

I called the hubby in the room and apprised him of the situation.
"You're the man, you take care of it", I said.

"What should I do?", he asked.

"I've heard of this happening after dogs mate. They say to sprinkle some sugar on it so they lick it and it goes away", I said.
Ew.

Then the hubby started to play with Willie. (NO, it's NOT what you think, you pervert!)

He started to scratch his butt and ears and talk in a high squeaky voice, "Willie Willie Willie". He got Willie to wag his tail and get all happy.

Next thing you know, the "wood" has disappeared.
"Ahhh", I said, "the art of distraction".

Then I asked, "is that what you do, hunny? Was that like thinking of baseball?".
No answer.

Oy.

Workers free dog trapped in sewer pipe

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -- The sound of barking underneath a street Tuesday led a team of city workers to a dog trapped in a narrow culvert - and you might say they used a backward approach to rescue the mutt. The sickly, scared dog was about 50 feet from the nearest entry point, but since the culvert was just 15 inches in diameter, the workers couldn't fit into it themselves. Not even offers of food could draw out the dog. "He was exhausted," said Tony Talamantez, a public works foreman. Then Talamantez and his colleagues had an idea. They rigged up a long video camera used to inspect drain pipes, and approached the dog from the back. They used the camera to nugdge the dog forward until he reached an entry point big enough for a person to pull him out. The camera recorded the rescue, showing the dog scampering ahead in fits and starts as the camera pokes him in the rear end. The dog wore no tags, only a worn collar. But Julia Gosen, animal control officer for the city, said

Axe Me A Question

Go ahead and ask. Ask the questions you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair. Nothing is too embarrassing. You might as well ask me on this blog since you are somewhat anonymous and don't have to look me in the eye. What have you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair? Here, I'll start: Q: "Hi, my name is LaLaundria! I wanted to know how do you take a shower?" A: Well, LaLaundria, I sit down. On a shower chair. I have grab-bars installed in my shower/tub and my commode rooms to give me extra balance. A shower chair is a hard plastic chair made to fit in showers and tubs. I have a shower massage type shower head that helps get the water closer to my hair. Howze that? Ask away, no question is off limits! (Oh Jeez, what am I getting myself into!)

Here Doggie!

While shopping at Sprouts today, I had a guy in the next checkout lane actually whistle at Frankie. WHAT?! He whistled to him like he was calling the hounds back from the barn. Then he went to reach for him. I actually placed my hand on this guys chest and said: "He's not a ranch dog, you shouldn't be distracting him, he's working." Mr. Cowboy didn't even apologize... but he got schooled! Oy.
