The Cheer Me Up Contest
I'll tell you about the contest in a minute, but first news about Iko, my juvenile delinquent dog.
Iko started school on Sunday. I enrolled him in obedience class at the intermediate level in the hopes the extra socialization will calm him down. He is so hyper when guests come over. It wouldn't be so bad if he were a little dog, but at 89 pounds, all his loving can put you in a body cast.
He's a good dog most of the time, but when anyone visits (including Greg) he acts like they're long lost relatives and he races at people as if he were on fire. The goof!
So we went to school yesterday. By the time it was over, we were both exhausted, but he still gave me a sweet hug when we got back to the car.
To his credit, he behaved better than I expected. I thought all the people and noises would send him into tail-wagging overdrive. He was a little hyper in the beginning, but within 20 minutes he was behaving like a gentleman.

My internet went AWOL over most of the weekend, so I apologize if I missed anything important. I should be caught up soon.
Sadly, when I got back online late last night, I read something that disheartened my normally chipper disposition. Now I need a pat on the back--and cookies. :o)
Want to cheer me up? Tell me what's going on with you. You get extra points if you put it in rhyme.
The best story, rhyming or not, gets a prize. I'll have to dig through my prize vault to see what it'll be. It could be a t-shirt. It could be Chicken Poop. One never knows.
I'll pick a winner Tuesday night--and announce it on Wednesday.

Hospice visits (you know her name).
Pooch's eye care getting old.
Football games out in the cold.
Lots of things not getting done.
Writing is the major one.
Sorry something made you blue.
Here's a hug from me to you.
(and now we know why I don't write poetry)
My top quilt is done
Kite flying was fun
Two books I've won
I SERIOUSLY did not think you guys would do rhyme.
You guys are just awesome. I am still grinning.
Thanks!
This may not make you happy, but I'm happier than a pig in a dung pile! Mind you, I know I'm going to be complaing about him being in my hair this week, so if you see a FB update about it, remind me of this post. :P

Oh, shoot. I forgot to turn it back on. My browser crashed just before my service went down and I forgot to restart Facebook. Thanks!

But I am sorry you're feeling down.
After the last bout, I swore I would never put some up again. LOL.
Good luck!
But a lot will depend on whether I keep his training up at home.
Ref: Rats. I'm not a poet. and we all know it.
Ha! Could have fooled me. That was cute!
My dog is the same way, he runs and jumps on people when they come over. He loves everyone. Luckily he's a 10 pound chihuahua so no one gets knocked over when he tries to attack them! ;-)
I keep telling Greg our next dog needs to be smaller. I don't want to fend off a 90 pound licky monster when I'm 70. But he'll never listen to me. :) I'm doomed.
Glad Iko's class went better than expected!
He's a hardheaded dog. Much like his mama. :)
Don't want Maria wearin' a frown.
Thanks for the poop,
but I've got my own coop.
Making some more jewels
with my fancy new tools.
I ain't no poet...
and now we all know it!
Hope your day gets better. :)
Ref: Thanks for the poop,
but I've got my own coop.
ROTFL!
You got me there! Great one!
There once was a dog named Dakota,
Who'd play with Iko an iota,
Her fur it is red
She sometimes plays dead
And she makes my temper explode-a.
And then Judy said:
There was a librarian named Judy
Who some people say is a cutie
she will check out your books
And will recommend Nooks
And always she does her duty
No... we aren't REALLY the Borg, but sometimes we can be a bit scary.
Anyway ... cheer up?

I'm just glad everyone is keeping their rhymes clean so far. :)
But the rhymes did their job and they certainly made me smile.
Thanks!
The idea seems downright quixotic
Jane Austen inspired
But more it aspires
To be both paranormal and erotic.
^_^ From a submission call I heard about from Circlet Press. I just gotta write a Jane Austen paranormal/erotic story.
Youth
Adventures many
Love, life, Death,
Dogs Talking
Life lived
An erotic Jane Austen novel. :)
...hurry home. :o)
The weather is cold
My book ain't sold
I feel pretty old
And wish i had some gold
How are you?
You crack me up! Good one!
In Didcot fair they're using poop
to make some foul, obnoxious soup,
but worry not they have a plan,
to save the planet and with it, man.
you see the poop is cleaned and heated too,
You'd never guess it'd been doo doo.
Now it's methane, pure and good
and you can cook without coal or wood.
So when you poo, think on this rhyme,
and how best to use your precious time
invest in poo churns and think on pee
and how best to use what comes out free.
Why did I ever bring up chicken poop?
You are quite the rhymester and so Geen too. You'd be a hit in LA.
Are they really making fuel from poop in Didcot? I hope you don't live near there.
Maybe that'll give her reasons NOT to come over.

They reckon when rolled out nation wide it will provide 15% of our energy needs. Can't wait
She was asked not return, which we didn't think was nice.
Guffy had a good life; she didn't eat dog food but chicken and rice (for real that was her meal).
I no poet, and I know it.
My apologies to everyone who likes the English language.
...but no poop for her. Leave that for Mike since he's got inspiration for how to recycle it ;-)
