Wednesday Whine Fest & Medley

    Hello, dear friends.  How is your week going?  Mine has been busy. 

Can you believe that I spent yesterday morning at the Vet's office?  The guy probably thinks I have a crush on him.  

I was there with Chowdah this time.  For the past week, Chow has decided to tinkle during the night. At first, I thought it was his way of getting back at me for giving so much attention to Chili.  

If you're new here, my 8-year-old diva of a Maltipoo decided to take up a new hobby called swallowing socks.  Two weeks and $4500 later, Chili is on the mend.

The Vet took a urine sample and persuaded me to have a blood panel done.  Pretty soon we're going to have to take a second mortgage on the house.

Last night my new best friend, the Vet called to tell me that Chowdah's blood and urine tests look great.  He then suggested that the problem may be behavioral.

Just shoot me.

Today I am linking up with my friend, Terri who comes up with the thoughtful questions for Wednesday Medley.

1. This week is County Fair Week in my old stomping grounds.  The Fairfield County (Ohio) Fair holds fond memories for me, especially of the marching band show on the race track, in front of the grandstand, and of 4-H sewing projects.  Do you have a memory to share of a county or state fair!! 

When I was a child, I have a vague recollection of my Dad taking Sista and me to the Danbury State Fair.  I think that he only took us once because Sista was such a handful.  Thank the Lord they had me.

The Mister loves state fairs and took the girls several times to the Texas State Fair.  He lives for fried fair food.  

He'd eat a chair leg if it were fried. 

2. If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?

The rudest has got to be this proboscis monkey.  

Look at this guy. 

If you cut him in line, he would probably eat you for breakfast and spit you out for lunch. 

3. What mythical creature would improve the world most if it existed?

A Wolpertinger is actually described as an adorable little creature. It has the body of a Hare, the antlers of a Roebuck, a cotton tail, the feet of a Duck and saber-like teeth. It can fly, it has enhanced hearing, enhanced speed, enhanced swimming capabilities and immortality. It also cannot be poisoned and has a venomous bite.

The creature is said to be completely in love with Human women. Because of this, the way to catch one involves sending a beautiful young woman into the woods to draw the Wolpertinger out. When the animal appears, the woman exposes her breasts, causing the Wolpertinger to fall into a drunken daze and be easily bagged.

This wolpertinger has my vote for obvious reasons.

4. What is something that everyone looks stupid doing?

Taking selfies.

5. Is intelligence or wisdom more useful?

I'd take an extra helping of both if I could get some.

6. Tell us something random about the rest of your week!

I am looking forward to attending a Coffee With the Authors on Thursday morning.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of my friends that are in the path of Hurricane Michael. 

Until next time...

It looks like this guy prefers brushes over socks.
