Friday

an unsuccessful evening

I think I've mentioned before that I am the proud owner of the world's two worst behaved dogs. Yeah, I am. Anyway, last night one of them decided to pee on our bed. Why? I have no idea. Because that's the sort of obnoxious stuff my obnoxious dogs do. Although, even for Fiat and Mabel, this was unusually foul.

Then, I was taking a bath and Jon tried to hand me the cordless telephone. In the bath. My hands were wet and the phone slipped away and fell into the water. I shrieked and hopped out (okay, hopping might be an exaggeration. I am pretty clumsy and big these days). But I got out fast, with visions of all those movies where someone throws an electrical appliance into the tub to kill someone else racing through my head. I wasn't electrocuted, but the phone is, of course, destroyed. That's $80 we didn't need to spend.

My daughter dropped her cellphone into the tub.She and I opened it up and blow dryed it and it worked for months but it eventually died -due to corrosion(which of course wasn't covered under our phone insurance plan.)

A battery-powered phone really couldn't give you much of a shock.

Check out a bladder infection for the dog. Sometimes they will go to extreme lengths to tell us that they are not feeling good.

My teenaged son dropped our cordless phone into the pool last summer. A few days of sitting on the window sill to dry out, and it's been working just fine ever since.
