And Just When You Think You’ve Seen It All

Bow Ties o’ the Day are modeled by pieces from our “when pigs fly” decor collection. I’ve been surprised by unexpected revelations every day of my lickety-split existence on this planet. Big amazements. Extravagant, elaborate questions. And tiny things like bracelets, and fluorescent shoelaces, and bacon. Terrible things can astonish and perplex us, too. When people do horrible things to one another, we sometimes declare a collective defeat. Fear not! Pigs will continue to fly in on their compassionate wings, to save us from ourselves. Who knew?! 🐷 🐖

Whew! Skitter And Her Bow Tie Are Glad That’s Over

Skitter’s back from her teeth-cleaning at the vet’s! That’s Skitter pouting under her blanket. She’s not happy with me and Bow Tie o’ the Day that we made her get her chiclets pearly white. She’s also not happy she came home with 2 fewer teeth. She’ll be barking another tune when she gets up in the morning to find the Incisor Fairy has left her some coins. Her tiny-tooth work cost more than my full set of dentures. She’s very expensive for being a free rescue dog. 💵 💸

I Hope It’s Not My Turn To Visit The Hospital Tomorrow

Hospital with Suzanne yesterday. Today, Bow Tie o’ the Day assisted me in delivering Skitter (wearing her own Bow Tie o’ the Day) to the animal hospital. Skitter’s only having her teeth cleaned, so we have no worries about her– except that she will shake with fear the entire time, probably even under anesthesia. Oh yeah, and there is the $900. bill. It’s worth it though to not have to smell her decrepit breath. I nag her to brush and floss her teeth. But does she listen? No. 😬

An Encore Performance We Didn’t Want

Bow Tie o’ the Day spent the morning at the hospital with us for Suzanne’s second lithotripsy. The first lithotripsy ultrasound shock waves didn’t break up the bigly kidney stones sufficiently to be passed. I decided Bow Tie would be an appropriate assistant to the whole procedure, with its superhero lightning bolts sending their waves toward Suzanne’s stubborn kidney rocks. Since the procedure is not an invasive surgery, my hospital mask isn’t necessary. But who cares? It’s snappy, and makes me look like I’m a doctor. 👩‍⚕️

Not Enough Cheese Or Bow Ties In The Galaxy

If a song is gonna get stuck in your head, pray it’s a classic. Unfortunately, my head’s been replaying the not-so-classic “Farmer In The Dell,” in which the cheese stands alone. Bow Tie o’ the Day is providing this slice of fromage some companionship. See, I’ve taught my neckwear to be compassionate to others. Suzanne has a bigly appetite for any and all cheeses. Years ago, I found the beyond-perfect gift for her when I came upon this foot-square, 10-pound, marble slice of swiss cheese. #holyhomedecorbatman 🧀

Born Free Bow Ties

Bow Tie o’ the Day is a bonus gift that came in the mail from a place I buy ties. What’s up with a bow-tie-on-a-stick? It tickles my tickle bone anyway, despite the mystery. The ties and I are having a raucous shindig while Suzanne is away a couple of days, for work in the fast-paced metropolis of Boise, ID. What do ties do to have a shindig? Well, we probably do the same thing as we’d do if we were in the fast-paced metropolis of Boise. 🎉

That Bow Tie Speaks To Me

Bow Tie o’ the Day is created with 100% vegan cork. I have no idea why cork would be vegan. Does it eat anything at all? But that’s what the description said when I ordered it.  “Vegan” cork Bow Tie and I were feeling kinda artsy-fartsy this morning, so we dug through our ‘links and found this set of Cufflinks o’ the Day, designed with a selected section of a Juan Miro painting. Looking at them is exactly the same as visiting an art museum. Sorta. Well… Not. 🎨 🤡

Casual, Hungry Monday

Bow Tie o’ the Day is hangin’ loose. We’re tired from chillin’ with Mom. Mom is still her lovely self, but she’s kinda high maintenance at 87. I didn’t sleep well there, cuz I was always checking to see if she was still breathing. I didn’t eat much, cuz Mom just kinda snacks throughout the day, instead of eating meals. I slept well here last night, but now I’m hungry, so I’m deciding whether to go with Shirt’s suggestion of fish tacos, or ‘Link’s suggestion of macaroni and cheese. 🤔

Just Sayin’ Farewell To Mom And St. George

Flip-flop Bow Tie o’ the Day isn’t in good spirits. We’re leaving Dixie. Ron and Marie will return today to resume being the bosses of Mom. Suzanne and I are cleaning the house, so there will be no evidence of the constant partying we’ve had going on with Mom since we arrived. The highlight of the loud, exciting chaos was when Mom ate an entire bag of gummies and then wondered why she felt yucky. Gummy bear hangover! Even Skitter doesn’t want to leave Mom’s stand-up routine. 🐻

Mom Is A Daredevil, In Earrings And A Duster

When Mom saw bikini Bow Tie o’ the Day, she nagged me to uncover Ron’s pool. I reminded her that she no longer has a swimsuit, so she clipped on her earrings and read this week’s CHRONICLE, for the thousandth time. Water makes Mom nervous. But she did own one sparkly swimsuit for decades. When our family rented the Delta pool for annual parties, Mom always rallied her courage, plugged her nose, and cruised down the slide– just once each party– to everyone’s delight. Best. Mom/Grandma. Ever. 👙 🏊‍♀️
