Since we are in the mood to be have some laughs and several people are
reposting from past incidents, here is something that happened a year
or so ago....I still have to chuckle over it from time to time!
Judy Cooke
It was a simple post-it note. Somehow it got knocked off the desk and
lay innocently on the floor. I meant to pick it up-really, I did! And
had I known the commotion it caused...I would have picked it up! I swear
I would have! NOT!!
The yellow post-it note lay silently on the floor-bothering no one-then
along comes Einstein! He got one of those ferrety itches...the kind
that has to be scratched hard and fast! In the middle of the blissful
scratch... he rolled over onto the post-it! It stuck! He didn't seem to
notice and since the itch had been satisfied, he started across the room
to see what Tyson was doing! What happened next happened so fast...Hope
saw this stranger attacking her buddy and with a bottlebrush tail (bigger
than her own body), she takes a flying leap at Einstein in an attempt to
free him from the clutches of the evil yellow beast! Einstein-not having
a clue what Hope is doing-rolls around with her, thinking it's a game!
Somewhere in the midst of the roll, the post-it detaches from Einy and
sticks to Hope! I have never heard Hope cluck and dook so loudly...or
seen her jump so wildly! She was being devoured by the evil yellow beast
and couldn't escape!!! Along comes Tyson...I'm sure drawn in by the
fracas! If someone is bothering his little girl-they'd better be running
cause Tyson don't take no guff off no one! More rolling and jumping and
dooking occurred and the next thing I knew....the yellow post-it had
stuck to Tyson!! By this time I was reduced to tears! This went on
another 10 minutes or so as they each took turns wearing the post-it!
Finally exhausted, and the yellow beast defeated, all three headed for
the water bowl..then the hammock! The best part of this happened the
next day when I told my daughter what had happened and to show her...
I stuck a post-it on Hope! She turned around.... looked at it...and
knocked it off and went on her merry way! My daughter said, "Sure,
Mom...whatever!" Guess ya had to be there the first time!
