Mom says that lots of sad things have been happening in the world so it's a good idea for me to take over today. She thinks I'll cheer you up. She also says that next week she'll continue the story about how she was pissed.
Oh.
She says it's phished, but that doesn't make sense to me because that's not a word but I know Mom is pissed a lot. We love her even though she's grumpy and always saying Chicago prefers, Chicago prefers. Who cares what Chicago prefers? I don't.
So anydog, this funny thing happened in the backyard. It was a super duper hot day. Penlapee was wandering around, sniffing every blade of grass before she could decide which one she wanted to pee on. Penlapee is like that.
I was getting hotter and hotter waiting for Penlapee and I noticed that there was a shady spot underneath Mom's nightgown. She hadn't gotten dressed yet because she says people who work at home get to work in their jammies, but I never see Mom do much of any work.
Because of the shady spot, I stuck my head under Mom's nightie. And you won't believe what I saw there. You really will not believe it. MOM WAS NOT WEARING UNNERWARE!
It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. snicker snort NO UNNERWARE! snicker snort Mom looks so funny under her nightie without her pink granny panties! I would describe everything to you but I'm snicker snorting so hard from remembering it that I don't think I can explain it. You have to take my word for it that Mom looks hilarious without unnerware. snicker snort
The man next door was out in his yard. He's nice and he likes me a lot. I thought he could use a good laugh so I took my head out from under the nightie and I barked to get his attention. I tried to say Hey! Come over here and look under Mom's nightie. She's got no unnerware, but I was snicker snorting so much that I couldn't tell him what there was to see. He said, Hi, Franklin, and he went in his garage. Boy, he missed his chance for a snicker snort. snicker snort
I'm so tired from telling this story and snicker snorting so much that I need a nap.
Before I fall asleep, would you like a kiss? Put your face down close to the box with the light in it, and I have my face up close. I'll give you all the kisses you need. I love to kiss, but I'm not kissing Mom under her nightie with no unnerware. Nope. I draw the line there. But you can have a big kiss on your cheek or smack dab on your mouth. Ask me for a kiss anytime. My kisses make every buddy feel better.
Okay. I love you. Bye-bye.
I always love hearing from Franklin! What a sweetie. He sure got a kick out of being under your nightie! Lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love about working at home: I never get dressed unless I have to!
Give Franklin a hug from me... and Penelope too.
Michele at Angels Bark
I feel that hug and I'll share it with Penlapee.
DeleteThanks, Franklin! You did make me smile. Bye bye.
ReplyDeleteBye-bye, Gramma Rita.
DeleteThank you Franklin. The world needs you right now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but the world always needs me.
DeleteFranklin, mom is right! Working in jammies is one of the best perks of working at home. That and not having to wake up early to get ready.
ReplyDeleteI'll take some kisses from you any day!
Kiss kiss kiss smooch smooch smooch.
DeleteFranklin is so much fun! "Chicago prefers, Chicago prefers. Who cares what Chicago prefers?" Is it deep dish? I could go for that. I bet Franklin would, too.
ReplyDeleteJk, I know what he's referring to-it's that giant book I don't need to read. I'm glad I read this instead. :-)
Enjoy your weekend, Janie. And keep your unnerware on ;P
I'm glad you read this instead, too. I'm lots more important than Chicago prefers.
DeleteGood thing for Mom you don't know how to work a camera, Franklin!
ReplyDeleteI bet I could learn. Why don't you teach me?
DeleteAw, Franklin kisses...Fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteI loves to kiss and hug.
DeleteHi Franklin, this is Shiner. My brother Wrangler is just like Penlapee. It takes him for-ev-er... Thanks for making our mom smile :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Shiner! Hi, Wrangler! Hurry up and pee, Wrangler. You don't have to sniff so much.
DeleteCanine innate positivity is a cure for a whole lot of ailments. You've done good, Franklin.
ReplyDeleteI dunno what all that means, but I like being good.
DeleteNothing better than dog kisses and a fresh view of the world!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't so fresh under that nightie.
DeleteFranklin could do stand-up comedy! Thanks for the smiles, both of you :)
ReplyDeleteCan I do all four legs on the ground comedy? I can't stand up too well.
DeleteThanks, Franklin. Love you, too.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love. That's what we're about.
DeleteHave a camera with you next time, Franklin.
ReplyDeleteI need to learn how to use one first. I think The Silver Fox will teach me.
DeleteI bet I could get you a comedy gig any time, Franklin--you're a hoot!! I give you 4 barks!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mrs. Ducky. Thanks! Thanks!

Winston, I never went to boot camp, but my brother Scout who died a few years ago used to go to boot camp whenever he could. If he found leather boots or shoes around the house, he chewed them up.
DeleteHAHAHA! You made my day, Franklin. You should have your own blog :)
ReplyDeleteI can't have my own blog because Mom hogs the computer.
DeleteImagining the cold, wet doggy nose on bare skin. Yelp!
ReplyDeleteMy cold, wet nose feels great.
DeleteThanks, Franklin. We definitely needed your smiles, giggles and kisses.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteHope you are safe from the hurricane Nate!
ReplyDeleteI don't know any buddy named Nate.
DeleteOh, Franklin, you are one bad boy you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe sometimes.
DeleteOh, Franklin, naughty boy. But we needed this chuckle today!
ReplyDeleteChuckle is a good word.
DeleteThank you Franklin for making me laugh
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteThat was very kind of you to try to cheer up the neighbor by exposing your Mommy's nether regions, Franklin. Yet he didn't even say "hi" to her? Sounds like he's more into dogs. Be careful, or have fun - whichever is more appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI think he likes me best.
DeleteYou've got to like a dog with a story to tell. Lucky for you Franklin that you didn't go blind from some of the things you've seen.
ReplyDeleteI see fine.
DeleteHAHA! This was fun to read. Popping in to say hi and thank you for stopping by my blog the other day.
ReplyDeleteMom visited your blog. I'm glad you liked my post.
DeleteNo unnerware is fine.
ReplyDeleteUnless no nightie was involved.
Then, there'd probably be a problem.
Mom takes off her nightie when we go to bed, but she's undercover then.
DeleteJanie, hope your day is pleasant and productive. I'm sure Franklin's will be;)
ReplyDeleteEvery day is good for a good boy like me because I am Franklin the Bordernese.
DeleteThat was so cute - I'm still smiling....
ReplyDeleteI want every buddy to smile because I'm Franklin. Smiling is what I'm all about.
