Double-take
I was in the parking lot of our local health food store recently and did a double-take as I walked to my car. Who was that bulldog/boxer-faced individual sitting behind the wheel of that Jeep? And you know, some people actually resemble their pets (a lot), so my internal question was not facetious. (Yes, I just made that statement with full awareness that I have Boston Terriers. Hush.)
I just love it when our pets act like us by exhibiting human characteristics or expressions. They’re way funnier than we are. Sometimes it’s a close tie between whether they’re funny, adorable, or just eerily clever.
You have to wonder if the dog in the Jeep has any inkling that it’s acting like its person. Surely it must be engaging in some form of imitation.
Early Night
Tonight’s post is short. My eye is hurting me and it’s probably best if I just give it a rest. I had a most unpleasant encounter a few days ago with the leaf of a bamboo plant on the edge of our property. I was mowing the lawn and this leaf became aggrieved by my efforts and whipped itself underneath my sunglasses, lacerating my eye.
It hurt. A lot.
Luckily, I was almost certain this aggressive greenery hadn’t cut my cornea, but rather limited its aggressive lashing out to the white of my eye. Nevertheless, it hurt (as I said before) and I wasn’t going to mess with risking infection.
Luckily, I was able to get in to see an ophthalmologist that afternoon. I’ve been using the antibiotic/steroid mixture in my eye for a few days now, but it’s hurting again tonight. So I’m going to rest my eye for now and leave you with this image of a dog driving a Jeep. I hope it makes you chuckle.
