The Gravy Train Gang
A dog can't live on kibble alone!
"Alright, we know he comes in here every day at three o'clock and opens the bottom left cabinet door next to the fridge. It's three of us and today our goal is to get that box of cheezees. They're so damn delicious! Shadow, you're the biggest. When he opens the cabinet, stand sideways behind him. Buttons, you create a diversion while I-"
"Uhhhhh, what's a diversion?" Buttons innocently interrupts.
"Douse me with flea powder and beat me with a stick! You don't know anything, do you? A diversion is where you yelp or barf out loud. Something to get him to turn around to see what's wrong. When he does, he won't notice Shadow and will trip over him. Thats when I run over and grab the cheezees. Simple as chasing flies and peeing on hydrants. Here he comes!"
Their owner walks into the kitchen, Buttons immediately starts barking profusely while Shadow rams into his legs over and over. Lucky puts a paw to his forehead.
"What are you crazy dogs doing? GET OUT OF HERE NOW!” their owner shouts. They scamper away with tails between legs.
"If only I had thumbs…We need to practice. You guys suck at this!"

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Cute and funny 🤭😊
Hi Lamar ~ I've been following you forever ~ especially your insightful-thoughtful comments to fellow Authors. I've stayed away because I swim in the 'Senior' Demographic Pond and I know the Newbies are into other Styles; Lamar, I so get that. *As I scroll through your gorgeous selections I've subscribed to you with pleasure ~ Love Buttons~Lucky ~ Shadow. I'm so not into contests; I'm just an old StoryTeller. But, If you have a moment please see my 'Rescue' written on behalf of - Pet Haven Minnesota - it does my heart good that so many Re-Home Adoptions came from this silly (3) minute 'Schtick' Jay Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Author Community -

Haha! Fun little canine caper Lamar! '"Douse me with flea powder and beat me with a stick!' is a terrific doggie curse. I imagine it best being delivered under the breath in a low grumble...
