By unexpected, I’m not referring to a ride on Splash Mountain or the umpteenth visit to Cinderella Castle!

Dogs gonna get it!
My dog “Riley” chews off her collar or harness any chance she gets. This morning I took her out with a brand new harness on. Somehow she “Houdinied” her way out & ran around the neighborhood almost with a smirk on her Chihuahua face. Picture this—-Me in my jammies chasing her, calling “Here Riley, come here…
Does this happen or just to unlucky ME?

Our Intellectual Conversation!
Walking at the Boardwalk this evening my hubby & I shared a very intellectual, stimulating-conversation, it went something like this: “You know they should have Dancing with the Hobo’s instead of Dancing with the Stars!” I said, —True–Stars have money, hobo’s don’t, that way hobo’s could earn some extra cash & pick up a new hobby/trade….

Keeping with the RAT theme
My son told me a story (loosely based), it involved a Boy, Gym Class & a Rat, weird combo, huh? In gym class the other day, a kid changed into his gym clothes & a rat jumped out & the boy screamed at the top of his lungs & ran out of the locker room. I don’t know if this…

My hubby’s GPS!
My hubby’s GPS asked if he would take unpaved roads for a shorter distance to his job location, he selected YES. While driving down an unpaved road in the middle of nowhere he came upon a road sign that said “Road may be hazardous when creek is up” so he worried a little wooden bridge might be ahead. His…

There is not a NON-disgusting way to tell you this, but I will try to streamline it for you. It’s just to funny to keep to myself.
