I asked my human dad, Gary, as to why he hasn't done another pawst this year. He replied, "Oh Penny! Please, please, please, would you be so kind as to do an article? I've got a trapped nerve in my left shoulder, Penny. It's starting to feel better after nearly two weeks of feeling like I have a toothache in my left shoulder! However, it's still difficult to type something."
Thus, my friend on the other side of the computer screen, here I be. I don't mind taking over the peeboard. Start again, I don't mind taking over the keyboard and pawblishing one of my must-read pawsts.
About a month ago, Gary was sitting on the chair in the living room. He was munching away on some snacks. "Oh yuck! What the hell!?", Gary yelled. This was followed by him making a mad dash to the kitchen sink. I can vividly recall the ensuing puking type sound.
About five minutes before Gary freaked out, he had gone to an unlit kitchen and had grabbed a snack from the counter. He thought the salami tasted kinda' odd. Ah yes, human dad, Oh nos to Schmackos!
I hope Gary feels better. Some people like dog treats I'm sure, just like some people like eating detergent pods.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Pat,
DeleteHe seems to be getting better although I notice he's struggling to put on his coat or tie up his laces or put on his socks.
I know I like so-called human treats. So, I'm sure it works both ways. Eating detergent pods would probably turn a human into some kind of bubble machine.

LOL - poor Gary! I bet he's turns on the light from now on!!!
ReplyDeleteHope he's feeling better soon!
Hi human, Jemi,
DeleteThe moral of the story is for my human dad to remember to turn on the kitchen lights and check what he grabs.
Thanks and I'm sure he's going to be just fine very soon.

Penny, my mom and dad used to keep a little container of puppy cookies on the kitchen table for Cleo..their dachsie.....When people visited Mom would open the container and give them some 'cookies' for Cleo so they could make hard and fast friends. One chap thought the 'cookies' were for him and ate one. Dad asked him what he thought of them and he replied, "a little dry, but not bad". They never did tell him.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Gary didn't like your treats...or maybe, it's better he didn't....you wouldn't want him eating them all.
Hi human, Delores,
DeleteCookies made out of puppies? I'm kidding! Arf! That's really funny about that one chap eating one of Cleo's cookies.
Ah yes, he's decided he's not a big fan of my doggy treats. As for me, I'm going to grab some of that salami.
Thank you, my nice human friend.

Oh that is a tough mistake. Poor Gary and less treats for you, Penny, too! I have done something similar in the dark. Always a shock!

Hi human, Jess,
DeleteA mistake my human dad wouldn't of made if he'd bothered to switch on the key light first. Slightly less doggy treats for me but I did grab one of those salami sticks. Thank you, my kind human friend, Jess.

It didn't taste like chicken to him?
ReplyDeleteThink I would've rinsed my mouth for an hour.
Hi human, Alex,
DeleteHe said it tasted like a chicken-flavoured belt. Had no idea my human dad likes to munch on belts. No wonder his trousers wont stay up properly!
I thought he might of then rinsed his mouth out with the water from my dog dish for at least an hour.
Thank you, human dude.

Well, this post was short but very, very funny. Don't tell Gary I said that :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your dad's nerve is trapped. I can imagine how painful that must be, having had a simple pinched nerve in my shoulder years ago. It made me want to cut my arm off. There seemed no way to get away from the pain, even for a few moments. I hope it will improve quickly.
Thanks for the update and (very, very funny) post, Penny!
Hi human, Jenny,
DeleteI wont tell my human dad.
Thank you for your concerns in regards to Gary. Ah yes, you can relate to such pain. Of all the nerve, I say. He does seem to be getting better. At this rate, he'll be out playing basketball.
I thank you for your comment, my lovely human friend, Jenny.

ReplyDeleteHi human, True,

He's better now

Toothache in the shoulder, I know just how that feels, but lower down in the back, that's where I get my pinched nerves usually.
ReplyDeletePlease remind your human to ALWAYS turn on the light when looking for snacks.
Thanks for updating us Penny.
Hi human, River,
DeleteI'm so sorry to read of your own personal woes with pinched nerves. The pain does seem to spread to other parts of the body.
Indeed, I think he's realised to switch on the light before grabbing a snack.
You're welcome for the update, my delightful human friend.

Hi Penny, hope Gary's shoulder improves. Not a nice thing to happen.

Hi human, Yvonne,
DeleteThanks and he's cautiously optimistic that the pain is finally tapering off. He was very close to going to A and E.
Cheers to you, my thoughtful human friend.

Blah, I'd want to bleach my mouth after that. But then I guess it adds flavor. Too much flavor for him to savor? lol

Too much flavour
Do me a favour.

Penny, I believe that if you can get a good story out of a mistake, it is so worth it. I hope you didn’t giggle in front of him.

It was really kind of you to share your Schmackos, Penny. How were you to know us humans don't appreciate the flavour?

HAHA! Fur babies spill all our secrets :) I hope the taste is gone from dad's mouth. And I hope his shoulder is better!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Martha,
DeleteThe taste has just about left my human dad's mouth after a month of gargling with mouthwash. I think it was mouthwash.
His shoulder does seem to be getting better.

My husband ate a whole bag of dog jerky as a teen. He said it was a little dry, but not bad. Now, the dogs hide them better to keep him out of them.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Elizabeth,
DeleteYour dogs are very wise. Your husband couldn't resist the dog jerky back in his teenage years and now your dogs must keep him the heck away from their dog jerky treats.
Thank you, my human friend, Elizabeth.

My daughter only ever fed her two (late) cats on a crunchy product that she bought from a National chain of Vets. Apparently it contained all the nutrition they ever needed and they would not even look at any other food. I have to say the bowl of crunchy cereal-like nosh looked really tempting but I always resisted. Because, you know Penny, it would a pretty dumb human who ate pet food eh?
ReplyDeleteLove from Ginger, the fat lazy cat.

Hi human, Barry,
DeleteI was wondering just how late were your daughter's cats. Ignore the previous sentence. I'm surprised that you resisted a bowl of crunchy cat cereal type stuff, human, Barry.
Yes, my human dad can be pretty strange when it comes to trying different foods. Enjoy your spotted dick, good human sir.
My regards to my biggest cat fan, Ginger!

Oh gosh Penny ... that was very silly of your master. To top it off - you now have fewer Turkey Schmackos left ... I'd make sure he gives you extra pocket money this week, or perhaps even month, so you can get more Schmackos into the flat ... seems Gary survived though - good to know ... take care and remind him that light switches are for using ... they may be out of your reach, but are definitely at his level. Cheers to you both - Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi human, Hilary,
DeleteHe's silly at the best of times. Gary is going to purchase me a year's supply of Turkey Schmackos!
Yes, the old dude has survived the attack of the Schmackos! I have pointed out to Gary where the light switch in the kitchen is.
All the beast, um, all the best to you on Vancouver Island, my adorable human friend, Hilary.

His shoulder is mostly getting better. Still has some very painful moments which seem to be worse when I need to take him out for a walk.

Penny it's so kind of you to take over for Gary. Your writing is very good and your story about Gary was very funny. I do feel bad for poor Gary though, sounds like he's had some bad luck of late. Well I hope he feels better soon and doesn't eat any more of your treats! Have a nice weekend Penny and Gary!
ReplyDeleteHi human CraveCute aka Diane,
DeleteThat's me, always sharing my treats with my rather weird human dad :) Delighted you like my pawing on the peeboard, sorry, keyboard. Yeah, it was sort of funny what happened to the poor old dude.
He seems to be almost better and then he tries to put on his socks which causes him to go ouch. I'm watching him very closely in case he attempts to munch on some more of my doggy treats.
Thank you for the nice weekend wishes, I spent a lot of it snuggled up on a pillow. I sure hope you had a lovely weekend, my lovely human friend.

I just bought the cat a "lickable treat." It is in a foil wrap and looks like a single serving tuna snack. My hubby almost opened it and ate it. I would have let him, ya know, just to see the look on his face. But it was expensive and I did not want to waste it on him, lol.
ReplyDeleteGlad you might be feeling better Gary.
Hi human, Donna,
DeleteIt might of been worth seeing the look on your hubby's face as you may well of had the camera at the ready :)
Gary is close to getting better but he's still getting reminders of the pain in his left shoulder.
Thank you very much, human, Donna.

Now this made me laugh a bit too much! Maybe because I can relate to it. I'm not ashamed to say, I've done the same thing..only I knew I was doing it. The treat we got from the trainer smelled so good I had to try it. It tasted gross. But the pups loved them. Hugs and love to you Penny and of course to Gary too! Healing vibes headed his way.
ReplyDeleteHave a beachy week!

Hi human, Elsie,

I have to apologize for not being around...ALL of the blogs I subscribe to (such as yours) that are delivered via feedburner to my email stopped coming about 2 or so weeks ago.
