We Deny All Charges

Since Blogger has just restored this post (minus the comments) after having been down since yesterday and readers have not been able to access blogs, we decided to re-post this for today. Otherwise our follow-up post will make no sense.

Yep, it's me, Rusty. I am hoping if I post a funny video, Jan will smile. She's not in a very good mood the last few days. Between being under the weather, and sweating buckets while trying to get the house ready for summer, and ....

Oh, yeah, something about us furries beating her up and trying to kill her.

We categorically deny all charges! And there are no pictures, so no proof!

I want to go out and Jan hasn't been letting me lately. So I try to dash past her whenever she lets the dogs out the back door. It wasn't my fault she didn't turn on the light at 3 am this morning. If she had, she'd have known better than to throw her foot out to make a barrier. Yep, her bare toes scraped the car ramp which wasn't supposed to be sticking out there. Just because I like to move it once in a while doesn't mean her injury was my fault.

But I'm a poster boy compared to Buddy. He's been wreaking havoc on the house since Jan put a cone on his head so his skin can heal. Buddy does not know how to reverse. When the cone touches something, he throws everything into pushing forward. So if Jan is trying to open a door and Buddy is on the other side, it's a contest. If Jan is walking ahead of him, he runs into her legs and tries to move her out of the way.

Yesterday he walked into the bathroom, tried to turn around, and knocked something into the bathtub which scared Percy and Cameron who had been napping behind the shower curtain. They scurried for safety. Buddy was in their way, so they leaped over his head, and knocked a bunch of bottles and jars off a cart - almost onto Jan's bare toes.

But the topper was when Buddy tried to throw her through a window while she was climbing down from changing curtains. There was nothing to brace herself on so when she stepped back and met Buddy's cone racing forward .... Let's just say there was a lot of yelling! Some of it is on our bad word list.

So, I picked out this video to try to make her smile. If it doesn't, we'll just have to pack our bags and go visit friends until things cool down around here.
