Barks – hello my friends!! It’s so hard to find good help these days. My mom – rolls puppy eyes – she may never be caught up again in her life. She is so slow! I can’t wait for her to help me with my blog. So I grabbed the i-pad and Bacon and we got started this week by ourselves. Bacon has been helping me and giving me lessons. He’s a good oinker – I don’t care what dad says – barks with puppy laughter.
This week I want to give you my fellow anipals a helpful suggestion. I learned this when mom was down from her surgery and had to stay in the bed. Often times I would stay with her to make sure she didn’t get out of bed without assistance. But sometimes a dog has to sleep. So I did what I thought was amazing. I took my loudest squeaky toy Mr. Chicken and positioned him in the doorway of the bedroom. That way if mom tried to get up without me, she would step on Mr. Chicken alerting me to wake up and assist her. Clever huh? So that’s my tip this week my friends – position your squeaky toys like little bombs in your humans bedroom. They especially love it when they step on them in the middle of the night. Usually they jump from the squeak. For an old man, my dad can jump pretty high in the dark. Just sayin’. Speaking of dad, he is taking off this week researching new jokes. Can you believe that? So this week, I’ll leave you with a mom joke. You’re going to love this – barks! Have a great weekend!

That’s a great strategy. Sam and elsa usually leave a nicely chewed on (and sharp!) antler or hoof (with apologies to Bacon) in a doorway. Let me tell you stepping on one of those wakes a half asleep upright up in a big hurry. The HBO words seem to comically entertain the 4 legged sect around the Ranch. 😂

Won’t your mom just step over Mr. Chicken? Or was she not that agile? Mom isn’t very agile here and I have a wee duck that quacks when you touch him. It scares the cwap outta mom but I know where she is.
We all loved your mom’s joke. MOL

My mom agile – barks with puppy laughter. There isn’t an agile part in her body. She falls over everything. I get her every time when a booby trap her bedroom. It’s really funny to watch her and dad jump – Houdini
