Saturday Photo Hunt

We love Saturday Photo Hunt click
here for a list of words
Today's word is

H A R D: adv
requiring a great deal of effort 


On Monday Robin posted that she hoped Christmas would forgive her for not taking him
on vacation.  It reminded mom of another Toto Story
Dachshunds have PhD's in Sweet revenge.
Mom told me they boarded Toto for 11 days when they went to Hawaii in the early 1980's.
When Mom picked Toto up from boarding he acted like he was so happy to see her.  She took him on a nice walkabout to potty.  He potty on every blade of grass in the yard.  However, as soon as mom got him in the house and took off his leash he barked to get her attention.  When Mom turned around he lifted that vertically challenged back leg on the kitchen table leg,  leaving a river we'll call I Pee Freely.  The entire time he was giving mom an evil eye daring her to leave him again.
When he finished he walked to his bed for a nap.
The kitchen floor was linoleum so it was an easy clean up.
She was amazed he had any pp left in him but evidently Toto was saving all the peepee
as SWEET REVENGE.


Mom said it was H A R D to be mad at that sweet face.
I hear some laughter coming from Blogville...yep mom was wearing desert boots(that is what they were called back then) and bell bottom pants.  This was Toto's favorite place to sit at night


MADI'S BLOG OFFICE WILL RE OPEN BRIGHT AND EARLY

7/25/16

WE HAD  first floor carpet installed on Friday.  We will be moving STUFF around to other rooms in preparation for more carpet installation next week.  Three rooms  four to go.

  7. seems like you are getting really close to the end of the remodel.. i love Toto upside down, i guess he showed you. the desert boots are funny now, but way back then they were on everyone, my sons and there dad had them. i did not because even then i preferred sandals...i did have bell bottoms. the new fashion now is the 70's look, it is every where and as ugly now as it was then..

    Is the end in sight as far as being sequestered? This has been going on for what, like 87 weeks or more, right? You've got to be getting tired of this!

  14. BOL! SHE used to be embarrassed when collecting the former scotties from the kennel. They just ignored her and sniffed everywhere. Took a couple of days and lots of cheese for HER to get back in their good books.

  15. That sure was a funny story. We can't believe you are still having more work done at your home. When will it be done?

  16. Loving the bell bottoms and desert boots! I just purchased a pair of bell bottoms at American Eagle Outfitters... they call them A Lines! I love them. Toto looks so much like our Dutchie when I was a kid... Dutchie loved my Mom and she sat like that, but the chair was green!
    See you all Monday!
