A note from Franklin's mom: Franklin first told this story in 2017. I like to share it again each summer when it gets hot.
HI! Hi! Hi! Hi hi hihihihhhihihi Every Buddy! It's me. It's me. It's mememememememememe. It's Franklin the Bordernese and here in Florida we never freeze!
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 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.
Okay. I love you. Bye-bye.
Big smiles. Thank you and Franklin I needed them today.
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy to help, Miss Child of an Elephant.
DeleteI don’t think snicker-snorting was the desired reaction!
ReplyDeleteAw, Mom likes it when I snicker snort.
DeleteAh, the sights an observant dog can see!
ReplyDeleteI don't get to see Mom without unnerware too often.
DeleteI can see that Franklin has never recovered from this experience. Maybe therapy would be a good idea? :D
ReplyDeleteI'm a pretty happy dog except when it thunders or the fireworks are popping.
DeleteThanks for the kiss, Franklin!
ReplyDeleteScritches ~
Thanks for the scritches.
DeleteFranklin's a good storyteller, and he gets around, if you get my meaning!
ReplyDeletexoxo
I get around all over the backyard.
DeleteSo THAT'S why you recently invested in new unnerware, eh? LOL! Or should I say, snicker snort!
ReplyDeleteMom has new unnerware? I didn't know! She still doesn't wear it.
DeleteEven hot out I have my grannie panties on under my nightie--LOL! I can see now why that a good thing--LOL! Although I don't think Annie would bother to tell on me. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat Annie is a cat, isn't she? You can't ever trust a cat, Mrs. Pita Pan.
DeleteIt's funny all over again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mrs. Kitchen. Thanks.
DeleteA cutie.

DeleteThe snicker snorts crack me up :)
ReplyDeleteI love snicker snorting. It's fun kinda like sneezing.
DeleteWhat story indeed I like resding it
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my story.
DeleteNo matter how many times I read this story, I just love it! It is so hilarious!
ReplyDeleteGosh, Mrs. Martha. I'm honored that you come back to read my story again.
DeleteYou live a funny life and write the best stories, Gud Dug Franklin
ReplyDeleteThanks, gosh, thanks. I'm sending even more kisses to you and Winston and Agatha.
DeleteFranklin finds entertainment in similar places my Cats used to... when they'd follow us into the Bathroom and stare at us on The Throne, as if it were entertaining... well, perhaps it was... us Humans are always good for a Laugh to our Fur Babies, I'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteMy son's cat used to go in the bathroom with him and press herself against his legs while he peed. She adored him.
