Summer Revelations

I never write very much in the summer, but I'm tired of looking at that picture of Jamie and the haunted attic. So here are some things I've learned this summer thus far:

1. Don't eat at Denny's.

Here I observed a HUGE woman demand 2 extra gravies, hand feed her "service" dog shrimp and gravy, watch him throw up the shrimp and gravy, ask her friend whether dogs have shellfish allergies, and then give him more shrimp. Which he vomited. Next to my table. I don't know what service this poor overweight collie provided other than eating this lady's extra food. Needless to say, Mina insisted on eating her breakfast alone in the parking lot as this was preferable to dining next to THAT. The silver lining of this encounter was that I got to hear someone say, "Don't box that up, I don't think the dogs will eat coleslaw.

2. Being a Good Neighbor can Lead to one of the Worst Things in the World: a Cat Enema.

It's true. My cat Scout as been the model of community involvement: playing with neighbor kids, killing and delivering small animals to all the houses down the block, protecting our area from other cats, helping with groceries... and what does he have to show from it? Small animal bones obstructing his bowel, that's what.

3. The guy who rode past me on his bike "REALLY likes the jalepeeenos!"

I know because he told me in a loud and angry voice.
