The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

Tika, I know you have a lot to do with getting settled and all, but I would appreciate it if you would have a word with everyone's pets and inform them that there are to be NO MORE ILL HEALTH ISSUES amongst the furred. We have had enough goo to clean up to last us the rest of the year.

I expect complete compliance by all

Stinker will be TOTALLY working on that. Right now, I have it on good authority, she's quite busy exploring her new environs. I sent out her "obit" this morning to her many friends......I"ll post it here since I don't have all y'alls email addresses:

She is gone......

Well, we have lost a beloved old friend......my beautiful, fierce, and noble girl left this earth this weekend, strong to the end, but just too sick, she'd have lingered even longer, fighting to walk amongst the trees in "our" orchard....she stoically earned her nickname "Dog Who Will Not Die" and defied the odds countless times....but it was time to go.

We had her nearly 14 years.......some of you were quite close to her so I wanted you to know that she is now pain-free and frolicking in Doggy Heaven.....stomping lizards, chasing squirrels, climbing granite and scouting the trails, running with the legs of her youth on sandy shores, eating all the bones she wants (without tummy upset)...and smiling her dingo smile on us from above after a fierce romp through coastal chaparral....and if there is nice, green, sod in heaven, she is eating it with abandon. Her ashes will be scattered upon her two favorite spots in the Sierra.....and of course, there will be a shrine to her here at home.

She was an amazing girl and we were all blessed to know her, as she was blessed to have you; she never forgot a friend.

The letter R is sometimes referred to as the dog's letter. This phrase has Latin origins, the Latin R was trilled so it sounds like a snarling dog. A good example of a trilling R is the Spanish word for dog: perro. [2]

This is a crackup.....Lauren told me years ago that Tika could not say her "th's" correctly - that they were pronounced as "f's" ha ha ha! So - she would say - "I want to go wif Lauren, mommy......" She made me three birthday cakes, three years in a row (wif Lauren's help), two in the shape of her triangle dingo head, and one that said "Happy Birfday Mommy" with paper umbrellas for cocktails all over it.........I'll have to post photos.....

I was thinking of Richard with the passing of our Stinker, and the FABULOUS avatar he pimped of her flying through the air with a Superman cape billowing behind her. Susie, you should put it up again. I want to see this super girl again!

oops - you forgot - that was Annie!!!!!! after she had her heinous surgery.

I was wondering, speaking of our Yeti, if he should perhaps spend a little time at Susie's. I realize that no one will ever take Tika's place, but he would be an enormous furry beast that would be there for a hug, or to take a couple of punches if grieving anger sets in, or just to clean up the house, so Susie can rest. Susie, do you have a hockey bag? Let him take care of it. OH! very important....roll up any carpets if he's coming.

Well, if Yeti doesn't mind cooking, cleaning, and kind of taking care of himself, he can surely come. Annie and I are licking our wounds, and have some special things planned....does yeti lay sod? Stinker ate all the grass in several areas, we need new sod. We don't have a stinky hockey bag, but, the car smells like..........vomit.........

A-w-w

I'd love to see the pictures.

[blueeyedmanda]

Is this one of those oxymorons?

ummm....not sure?

[tom]

In honor of the Tikster everyone will have to use the letter 'R' excessively for the rest of the day.

Yeah--Richard....I used to see him reading once in a while, but I think maybe he's left us for good

Hehe Jess

The Queen has spoken!!

I think RRRRRRRRRichard (wish I could do the rolling R well ) was MIA farrrr longerrrrr overrrrr the summerrrrr.

I had no idea who ourrrr founderrrr was forrr months!

[Jestgar]

Grrreat.

And I'd like to offerrrrrr up forrrrr everrrrryone's amusement that I seem to be 'white trrrrrash queen' today. Not only did I smudge up my mascarrrrrrra so my lashes arrrrrrre all chunky, I also changed my mind about what I was wearrrrring so I ended up at worrrrrk with a black brrrrrra underrrrrr a white shirrrrrt. All I need is a half smoked cigarrrrrrette hanging out of my mouth and I'd be perrrrrrrfect.

I'd like a pair that says "if you can read this, kiss my a$$" to wear under white pants :lol:

[NoGluGirl]

Dear Everyone,

Sorry I have been away for so long! I just have been trying to straighten out health issues. I will try to pop in more often. Things have been kind of crazy lately. Mr. Molar was removed Thursday of last week.

Dear Susie,

I just had to come in and give my condolences. Tika was our Rachelville mascot along with the other dingos! We will all miss her so much! Remember, she will be around you all of the time. I know our dogs we have lost visit.

Sincerely,

Jin

[blueeyedmanda]

Jin, hey how have you been? We have missed you in the vortex!!!

Jestgar--Love the readable underwear. Kind of like the bumpersticker, If you can read this you are on my butt....Back the F*** up!

Sorry sillies, had to share

Good Day at work so far :)

[Green12]

In compliance with the Queen's *R*rrrrrequest....

Maybe if we all use our special Chuck Norris mind control powers we can "will" *R*rrrrichard back to Sillyville.

Susie, I sprrread the word in the OMG that we lost one of our beloved *R*rrrrachelville mascots, search and rescue dog extraordinaire!

I *R*rrrrraise a glass to Tika!!!!

Herrrrrrrrrrrre's to Tika!!

I was given that book Doggy Heaven by a friend when I lost my dog a few years back, really cute book.

[elye]

..Oh, Susie...Sorrrrrry about the errrrrror...it was Annie, was it? Well, Tika surrrrrre sounded like a Superdog of epic prrrrrrroporrrrrtions....(I'm trilling these R's as I go...we Canucks, while challenged with many things, tend to be quite adept at the ol' RRRRRR-olling RRRRRRR.......

My Real-Life Silly Contribution

Last week while home on the skiing trip, my sister and I had run to Wegmans to grab my mom some things after we finished on the slopes. So we were walking into the store having a sisterly conversation about sex and men, my sister is 20 and I am 25. So inside the store I decided to run to the bathroom, and she was going to go into the produce section. So I finished up in the bathroom and walk out. I spot her in the produce looking at something. I walked up to her and just picked up the conversation where we had left off

[elye]

My Real-Life Silly Contribution

So hope that makes you all laugh

Oh gawd...Excellent, Amanda. That's the kind of story that is excruciating when happening, but delectable to tell later!

[blueeyedmanda]

I can't believe I forgot to share that with you guys last week.

[jerseyangel]

My Real-Life Silly Contribution

That's so funny!

I actually thought you were going to say something along the lines of certain vegetables she may have been looking at.

ok--Getting my mind out of the gutter.....one thing I do quite often at the grocery store is turn around to say something to Mark, and find myself talking to a perfect stranger. All those carts look alike

[elye]

All those carts look alike

So funny you mention this, Patti, because what I tend to do in grocery stores is not confuse my DH with other men, but my cart with someone else's. I'll unkowingly hijack someone else's half-full cart (parked close to mine), and mosey all around the rest of the store, up and down aisles, until I suddenly hear thundering feet behind me...the poor bloke whose cart I have taken and finished filling to the top.

Funny...I don't do this with husbands...would it be as simple?

[Green12]

So hope that makes you all laugh

:):)

Amanda

I do the same thing when I go shopping with my mom!

Most of the time though I'll be talking away and she'll wander off into another part of the store without me knowing.

So, I am either looking like a lunatic going up and down the aisles alone talking to an imaginary friend, or the figure I see out of the corner of my eye ends up not being my mom and is a total stanger and they give me the "who are you, who are you talking to, and is there something wrong with you?" look!

[Darn210]

yes, but he looks a lot like a bio major freshman

Forget the Yeti . . . we need to send Susie the bio major freshman!!! Wait . . . what's he look like, Jess?

[Judyin Philly]

hi just checking in.

saw you patti and susan

don't have anything funny to say but do have a funny video.........how do you put it up?

can we do that......patti it's the kitty one.

[DingoGirl]

Is this one of those oxymorons?

Well, *I'll* take the PA wine.....crappy or no!

Forget the Yeti . . . we need to send Susie the bio major freshman!!! Wait . . . what's he look like, Jess?

Freshman - bah! We DO want a man - a REAL man.....grownup......yummy, delicious, brilliant, noble, altruistic, erudite.....blah blah blah - where IS he???????? we've given up........and we've realized we do live in teh wrong town to find this sort of thing. BAH!

Annie and I do not know what to do with ourselves today.....she went on all my errands with me, but kept whining in the car.......when we got home, she ran outside and peeked into the doghouse, where Stinker often slept.

Thanks for the sillies. Amanda - love that one

we're going on a walk now............see you sillies later.

[jerseyangel]

Judy--

You can post a link here--just copy the link from your address bar and paste it into a post.

That was so cute

The poor thing--it will take her time to adjust

Have a nice walk!
