Well Amigos, The Red Man visited Uncle Collin Gist with Tennis Ball Obsessed Chelsea today when she went for her second chemo treatment and thought he was just along for the ride to keep her company. Not so fast, my amigo.
Before you could say kiss my paw, The Red Man was in the same room with Pretty and the old woman Slow and TBO Chelsea and Uncle Collin Gist who turned out to be another Hottie Doc and no Uncle at all. Well, I never.
To make a long story short, TBO Chelsea was led away by a young girl in a blue uniform, and that was the last I saw of her while The Red Man was interviewed and inspected by Hottie Doc Three. Being the focus of attention isn’t always a good thing, if you catch my drift. Be careful what you wish for. I must have passed the inspection with flying colors because the girl in blue didn’t come take me away, and I escaped with Pretty and Slow before anyone had time to reconsider.
On the way home from the vet’s office, we went through the drive-thru at Rush’s to get unsweet tea for Pretty and Dr.Pepper for the old woman Slow and french fries for moi. Ah yes, french fries – one of the basic food groups and nectar of the gods. Unfortunately, it was a small order and “shared” by all of us so one of us was short-changed. Guess who. You have three guesses, and the first two don’t count.
Casa de Canterbury looked really good to me when we finally pulled into the driveway, and I have to admit I was exhausted from the whole excursion. I took a nap and dreamed it was raining french fries, hallelujah.
TBO Chelsea came home later this afternoon and apparently got a good report from our new best friend Uncle Collin Gist so that made everyone as happy as they were with the Gamecocks winning the first football game of the season against the Tar Heels tonight. All in all, a banner day.
Happy Labor Day weekend, Sports Fans…enjoy your favorite football team games and US Open tennis, too. Travel safe if you’re leaving home.
Get me outta here, Percy…it’s way past my bedtime…
Ma says French fries are food for the soul. Bad days are turned around, however briefly, by eating them.
Glad the day ended up on a high note.
Many Sloppy Poppy Kisses and hugs from up North!!!

Dearest Poppy and Cassie P,
Indeed, you have a wise Ma (occasionally!) who recognizes the comfort of French fries. Other food groups are important, but this one is essential. 🙂
We hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend filled with lots of treats and love!
We count every day a blessing and always remember to be thankful for our Amigos in the North…
Your Red Man

Red, I hope they buy you the best french fries around. By the way, I never did know: who is Percy?

Thanks so very much, Luanne – we do manage to eat regularly but French fries are a delicacy reserved for special occasions. Whenever we have them, we always have Rush’s. Yummy.
I believe you are only the second person in five years to ask me about Percy. Many years ago there was a sports talk show called Leonard’s Losers in which he predicted who would lose the college football games the following weekend. At the end of his weekly show, he always said, Get me outta here, Percy as his hillbilly banjo-playing theme song carried the show off the air. I stole that from him! I used to laugh every week when he said that – I’m not sure why. 🙂

If it weren’t for my pesky little sister, my humans would be there is a second . . . but they feel slightly horrible about already pawning her off on friends several times this fall. 😉
