What I Put Up With

I spent over an hour cleaning out my car.

Well, that's not exactly true.  I spent twenty minutes cleaning out the car and trunk, ten minutes wiping down all the surfaces, and forty-five minutes vacuuming dog hair from the seats, floor, and crevices.  Gambit--boxer and hound--sheds hardly at all.  Ty Handsome--all Lab--sheds so much, one might

Whoa! How scary for you both! I'm thankful it turned out okay.

Pet fur can be annoying. (You should see my pillow. One of the cats sleeps with me.)

Before getting Ty, I had no idea Labs shed so much. Even with daily brushings, he drops fur. We laugh when he gives his whole body a shake because you can see a cloud of fur poof around him.

This is why I paid professionals to teach my kids. I didn't think either of our hearts could stand it!

He did the driver's education course, thank goodness, so many of the basic problems were taken care of. (Whew!) But since we live in a rural area, we have to drive a bit so he can experience different road and traffic conditions.

But yeah--my heart was about to explode.

That's how I was raised! Plan a route so you don't have to make left turns without a stop light or something. At least a pedestrian crosswalk.

Dunno about the gas mileage though. Was it really on Mythbusters? ;-)

Heh. Yep, we've had that talk, too, about the difference between anger and urgency.
