Greetings, Fellow Hoomans!

Before I forget, look into Texts from Dog.
Google it, Amazon it, Barnes and Noble it. I get such a kick from reading the texts sent from the dog to his human. Sometimes I’m laughing so hard people turn around and look.

Come to think of it, this happens at other times, too.  Oh, never mind.

Okay, now I can start.

Well, the warning in the title has absolutely nothing to do with the blow torch. And the laughter has nothing to do with either the warning or the blow torch.

So, don’t be looking for any of those transitiony things.

***********nope************

The warning was given yesterday when I wrote that there would be another blog post soon. I tend to have more to say when there has been an elongated period without posting. My talk-o-meter fills up.
It overflows.
And you are the lucky, lucky benefactors. Bwahahahahaha!

******you were told there would be no transitions************

The blow torch. Ah, yes. Did you know that you can save yourself a trip to Target if your shoe polish is in pieces as long as you have a blow torch?**

**PLEASE DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME

The hubster mentioned this trick as I was polishing shoes, so I took him up on it. Yep. It worked.***

*** WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF USING A BLOW TORCH TO MELT BROKEN PIECES OF SHOE POLISH INTO ONE SMOOTH CIRCLE IN THE TIN.

I am fairly certain that the experiment would have ended disastrously if I had been wielding the blow torch and the shoe polish tin, instead of the hubster.****

****UNLESS YOU HAVE A TOOL WHISPERER, SOMEONE WHO HAS AN INNATE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THINGS WORK, IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD LIKE I DO, PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

In fact, even if you do have a tool whisperer, please don’t try it.

Even if it did work.

**********why even look?**************

And now for some laughs. Yay!!!
