The Turkey vs. The Skunk

And the skunk won.
Raindrop here.
Thanksgiving is usually one of my favorite days – this year was a different story.
We started out at Grandma and Grandpa’s.
- Lots of good food.
- Got to play with my cousin Tootie.
- Life was good.
Then we went over to Aunt Angie’s and Uncle Dave’s.
- No other dogs or little kids.
- I was the center of attention.
- Totally loved it.
We all ate some dinner.
- Decided to play a game.
- Joel was getting stuff.
- I had to powder my nose.
Daddy took me outside.
- I did my business.
- And noticed a black cat.
- Charge!
Except is wasn’t a cat.
- It didn’t run from me.
- It dared me to come closer.
- I started to lunge for it.
Oh no! It was a skunk!
- And sprayed me in my face.
- With the worse smelling stuff in the world!
- It got in my eyes and mouth.
I thought I was going to die.
- I could barely see.
- I heard Dad yelling.
- He helped get me back in the house.
IÂ ran into the family room.
- Dropped to the carpet.
- To get that liquid fire off my face.
- The entire room screamed.
Dad grabbed me and carried me into the bathroom with Mom and Aunt Angie.
- I was scared and wanted to cry.
- Aunt Angie started to run water.
- Not a bath on top of everything else!!!
Long story shorter…
- Aunt Angie is an angel.
- She helped get the poison off my face.
- Joel gave me some turkey to make me feel better.
Mom and Dad took me home.
- I still smelled like bad garlic.
- I prayed they wouldn’t kick me out.
- But they love me – smelly or not.
This morning I’m ticked at that skunk.
- Telling the world how bad he was.
- Will teach him to mess with me!
As Mom always says, makes me think of chapter leaders…do you know who the bloggers are in your chapter?

[...] I’m re-reading one of Jakob Nielsen’s usability books. He talks about how web users don’t read online; they scan. Cynthia D’Amour understands this. Her blogs are brief and rich and fun. [...]

Hey Raindrop: Tell your Mom and Dad to put a mixture of peroxide and baking soda on that spray. It's the only thing that works!
