BUT I Missed You So Much ...

Today the girls and I set out for an afternoon of shopping. It was such a beautiful day ... sunny but breezy and fairly cool, with low humidity. I wish our trip been the fun, relaxed shopping kind, but alas it was more the task-oriented, stressful errand-running kind ... although happily it did involve stopping at Barnes & Noble to take advantage of their Buy-Two-Get-One-Free classical CD sale. I swung into a parking space not too far from the door and we piled out and started walking in. We didn't get far -- specifically, we were behind an SUV occupying the parking space right next to us -- when a horn began sounding urgently from said vehicle. Not an alarm, but a car horn.
Before we could figure out why the SUV's horn was sounding (everything was happening so fast), a lady charged up to the driver's side door and impatiently yanked it open. I apologize in advance for the crude anatomical term I am about to use.
"Get your butt off the horn!"
Those were her exact words and she uttered them brusquely to whomever was inside the SUV, loud enough for all of us to hear. Not turning my head to get a gander at the car's occupant but under the distinct impression that the woman was addressing a child, I had time to think, "Wow ... she certainly nipped that behavior in the bud, and none too kindly."
Audrey and Erica looked over and convulsed in laughter.
Turns out the creative horn-blower was the lady's large dog.
If she were my owner I'm not sure I'd have been so glad to see her ... but that's a dog for you.

ROFL! Yeah, they don't care what you say to them. They don't speak 'monkey talk' you see. They're all about body language - and that would have been the same no matter how politely she'd put the 'request'!
Me, I never use that word. But then, I'm English. And my dogs would never dream of sitting on my horn - it just wouldn't be comfortable enough for them!
I hear you, Jay. Javier would scare himself into a white-haired old man of a Chihuahua if he EVER put any part of himself on any part of the car and produced a loud noise. His own shadow makes him tremble.
Very funny! As much as I do love dogs, I'm glad it was a canine and not a child. Seems like that dog needed some attention...
He was doing all he could do to get some, that's for sure! It was so funny.
2 kinds of potato chips??? What kind of hedonists are you? And TWO cakes? Where was my invitation? We only had one kind of potato chips and one cake.
Oh, and also hooray for the war heroes.
Glad you had a nice Memorial Day!
Oh yes, JD ... TWO kinds of potato chips, LOL! Regular and BBQ ... and one cake is never enough for a brood the size of ours! We are the hedonism family.
