Snow in August

When you live with one of these

and also one of these

you expect you fair share of mishaps.

David has this pillow which we lovingly refer to as his "butt pillow". It is a Total Pillow which I'm sure you have seen on t.v. I bought it for him before his long flight to Japan. BTW, I'd put a link here if I know how to embed, but I don't. You'll either have to google it or just trust me on this.

Anyway, I now know what is on the inside of the Total Pillow. How, you ask? I know this because when we came home from church today everything that was on the inside of butt pillow was now on the outside. There was a fine layer of these teeny tiny balls spread out evenly over my entire downstairs and porch.

See, the cool thing is, these little balls are so light that any gust of wind will cause them to scatter. Sweeping the balls up is next to impossible. I wish I had taken a picture of the house. But I was too busy sweeping myself in circles and calling the dogs very ugly names.

Can you see the white stuff in the cracks of the porch? That's what formed a fine layer all over my house. It was just like snow in August. This is only one mess in a series of messes the dogs have created. I came home one day to find packing peanuts spread out in much the same way the butt pillow's balls were. I find that slow deep breaths help.

It really doesn't do any good to get mad. Dogs just use their God given ability to give you one of these looks and it is impossible to stay mad ( well except for Yogi, he just looks drunk).
