Favors
Have you ever done a favor for someone and then wonder, gosh…was it worth it?
Well, I do favors for my friends and family all the time….especially, my husband…whom I seem to wait hand and foot on….ah. Yes I am his personal assistant…in almost every shape and form..
……Well…..I got a new puppy a few months ago…He’s a little mutt…but so cute and adorable…well, he’s about the most laid back dog I’ve ever had…and believe me…I have had a lot of dogs in my time and still have one to many…
Anyways…My puppy has stolen the hearts of so many people and one of the ones who fell for “Bandits” heart was a farmer that my husband works with.
This guy offered my a hundred dollars! To take the puppy to his kids!!!…well, that was not going to happen…I love my puppy…He’s my best buddy…
So, I agreed to help the poor dad find a puppy similar to mine to bring home to his children…
Well, as God planned it, the woman I received my Bandit from needed to find a home for the brother of Bandit. She had wanted to keep the puppy but she… like many of us just get so busy, so I convinced her I had the perfect home for him..
So, she agreed to let me take Bandits brother “Beau” and give it to our friend the farmer for his children.
….Well, in the middle of the morning, the other day, my husband stops me from working (yeah, we work together)…and asks me to go pick up the puppy for his friend…
So, being the sweet wife and good person I am, I drop everything and head out to go pick up the puppy…
The drive to pick up the new puppy was about 45 minutes long…So, I brought along my other two puppy’s to make the new puppy feel comfortable on the ride back…
Oh, how I made it home is beyond me! 3 dogs bopping back and forth all over my Tahoe….I actually swerved a few times because they kept jumping on me!
Well, just when the pups decide to settle down “Beau” the new puppy decides to rest on my lap….
Just when I thought he was asleep and I’m just about 5 minutes from my home…the pup sits up and pukes!!! All over my legs!
How I didn’t wreck…only confirms my belief that angels are always around me!
So, just as I’m driving into the drive way. With the puke all over my legs…thank goodness I had jeans on…My husband calls me….I proceed to tell him what happened to me before he gets a chance to even say hi…
so he hears my story and then laughs and says…I guess you cant turn around and go back to town for me and go to Lowes?!!!! UGH
UH…I don’t think so…well…I finally get home…have to use the hose to rinse myself off…and then peel my jeans off of me…and then clean up the puke on the seats of my car…awe yeah…I love doing favors…
So, I don’t know who got the credit but I guess I did my good dead for that day…You think…
hahahahahah
Kelley, this was such a cute story; typical of your days in the country, life on the farm. I laughed and it made my sad day completely change. I almost lost my cat Annie a few days ago. She was so sick from a hairball I presume. Pets are everything to us. They help our moods, and yearn for that pat on the head, and rub on the belly. Forget the puke. It was worth it for a new pet to find a good home. As a little note to whomever may read this. Annie survived the 911 attack in NYC and I almost lost her this past Friday on 911. But God heard my prayer for this precious cat to please not die on this remembered day. I still have her!
