Re: Mountain Dog In The Kitchen

Just to clear up a few minor points. Number one I didn’t forget to put a house line on Emma! I let her in on the back porch and went to get one and there wasn’t any. That item is on the "To Do List." Me and my buddies went down to Crabby Jack’s to celebrate the puppies’ coming and that didn’t get done – sorry!

That loud crash you heard was not a serious thing. I forgot to latch the door from the porch to the kitchen. As Emma doesn’t know what a door is for, she hit it kinda hard. The sound was the porch door flying into the basement door behind it. Barney the cat was behind the door but escaped through (or was thrown through) the pet door into the basement. I’m sure he’s okay; I’ll check him as soon as I find him.

And your whining about one little loaf of bread! It was time for it to come out of the Breadman anyway, and you’ve been wanting a newer model.

We have Pyrs, lots of them! You know that nothing perishable should be below the five-foot browse line. That food processor that you seldom use was at four foot six; I measured it! That was the second crash.

I don’t mind sleeping out here in the living room, but taking Jack and Sara with you to our bedroom was rotten!

And they went with you, the traitors!!!!

I’ll have you know that as I sit here writing this Emma is laying down beside me being a perfect lady. Yes she has a house line on her.

I don’t know what the coax was for that runs between the computers, but I hope it wasn’t important.
