My wife and daughter were out giving the rabbit some fresh water. Ariel comes in and says, “Poor Blueberry, he’s so hot right now. He’s panting and frothing at the mouth.” I said, “No honey, he’s not hot, he has rabies.” Apparently not funny… #bunniesarecuterwhentheybelongtosomebodyelse Then she goes and gets… Continue reading
So as an addendum to my 4th of July post, I have to point out that in a couple of separate posts, Jim Wright of Stonekettle fame said much more of what was on my mind. He said it well, with proper emphasis on those four letter superlatives that drive… Continue reading
