Happy Hump Day. How ever did you get over the mid-week hump without me these last couple months?
Since I usually devote my Hump Day post to pictures selected to give you a smile, I'm going to combine that with my important introduction. I'd like you to meet Sophie.
Sophie came to us from our county animal shelter. She's approximately six years old but she entered the shelter as a stray so we have no history for her. She's very friendly with people but not so much with animals. Gets pretty nervous with other dogs.
She's also terrified of thunder and lightning. Something I discovered the first night we had a storm and I woke up to find her sitting on my head.
She's a lady of discriminating taste. I knew the first day when she checked out every sleeping spot in the house and selected the bed with the Boston Red Sox blanket. Sophie's a SOX FAN! That's my girl.
She also claimed the hot tub in the back yard as her special perch. Not only can she survey her entire domain but the top is nice and warm on a chilly day.
But her biggest claim to fame is her skill as a great white hunter:
I know it's up there, Mom. I chased it myself.
Maybe it went around this side.
Well, I'm just going to sit here and wait until it comes down.
Sigh. I guess I lost it. What? Why are you laughing?
Did I miss something?
What raccoon? Where?
That's my girl. What do you think of her?
Groaner of the Day: A man walks into a coffee shop, and is given a huge mug which he takes to his table. But when he tries to drink it, he find that instead of coffee, the mug contains a pair of beige cotton trousers. So he goes to complain.
The counter staff are not very helpful, so after arguing with them for some time, he eventually gets them to call the shop manager. The manager is very indignant - "But it's exactly what you asked for", he says.
"No it isn't!" says the customer, "how can this possibly be what I ordered?"
"It's a cup o' chinos", says the manager.
