stop feeding the dog, Alice

My Dentist told me that the tray used for night time teeth grinders is VERY attractive to dogs. No idea why.

You need to take better care of your teeth, Alice

…and there was much rejoicing […aaaaaaay!]

One evening while she was watching TV, my grandmother took out her dentures and sat them on the sofa beside her. The dog put them in her own mouth. My grandmother swore the dog smiled at her when she did it.

Now Big Shirley is going to try to be kissy kissy with Alice.

Bad dog! Bad Alice!

Young kids interacting with playful doggies; such a delight!

I can relate Alice! My aunt had a Big Shirley too. It was a huge black Newfoundland that I was terrified of. It was a very sweet dog but my primal fear only saw a massive beast able to swallow little ole me in one gulp. A funny contrarian thing really, because I have always loved dogs more than anything, then and now. My first word, as my Mom always told me, was dog. Dog is my copilot.

My sister has a Big Shirley. I’m 43 and still scared of her (the dog…and a little bit my sister LOL).

Way to go, Big Shirley!

Tough taunts, Alice….
