Someone could make a comedy film out of some of the situations that I get myself into. I think that Steve Martin would be perfect to play me. I get this unfortunate trait from my mother of whom the 50s television show I Love Lucy must have been based on. She once super-glued her lips together and another time she attached her fingernail to the wall while hanging a picture, and those are just two instances. As for me I'll give just two examples also. At a very formal benefit event I bought a string of tickets to put in the containers of prizes that I would like to win. It took me forever to just pick one. Time was running out and the announcer said that all tickets had to be placed. I hurried back to a "Beer Basket" with all kinds of beer and snacks and threw my tickets in, only I put them in the wrong container....women's lingerie....and I won..."and the winner of the women's lingerie is....Special Dog!! On another occasion my wife and I were at a very nice wedding reception. As we waited to be served, a friend and I stepped outside, he to smoke a cigar and me my pipe, but we didn't want to be out there when the food came so I peeked through a clear line in a frosted window to see if there was food on the table. No tables....only a women combing her hair at a sink!
Tonight was another "Fun With Special Dog" evening as I attempted to put a clearer picture of myself on the website in place of the beach picture that is there now. This ought to be easy....just follow directions. Not so! I saved the new picture to my blog and then went to the site on my iPhone to see if it was OK. Specialdogg came up with my face filling the entire screen. Surely anyone visiting would think that this blog was run by an egomaniac! You had to scroll down quite a ways just to get to the title! I hurried back to remove the picture but could not find out how! I literally prayed..."Lord help me get this picture off!" So... to any visitors in that fifteen minute time period... I hope that you had a good laugh because I certainly did.....after the beach photo came back that is.
