When I first came here in October, Kyla warned me about Them. She said They were good people but were klutzy. He’d starve if He were a handyman and She’s no better as a seamstress. Thank goodness They have other marketable talents. For example, Kyla told me that someone gave Them a gift
They had some guests over and put these out on the table. The first guest used the black one and out came salt. DUHHH-bet you saw that coming.
While I was out of it over the weekend, the vet asked Them to take Kyla’s temperature a few times and record the readings. He went out and bought a good one-it must be a good one because it was quality made in China. Nobody would ship bad stuff for such a great distance and expect it to sell so it had to be good.
They even took Kyla’s temperature successfully twice and They remembered not to put it in her mouth but in the rear! Yay, team. They were feeling really good about Themselves until the time came to take Kyla’s temperature for the third time. He turned it on, the digital screen lit up for a split second and then went blank. There were no instructions on or in the package and He thought the battery might be dead. Ok, time to return it. Before going back to the store to return it, He had to go to the vet to pick up new meds for Kyla. He asked a vet tech about the thermometer. She said that the battery could be changed if you pulled the light green head off. She did that and asked why it was all wet inside. He said He assumed She cleaned it. With water? Probably-She probably cleaned it and put it in the dishwasher to make certain. The vet tech gave Him a look like she just got salt from a pepper shaker. Clean it with alcohol, not water. UPDATE: She says She didn’t use the dishwasher and did use alcohol. The problem was that She washed off the alcohol with water.
Things need to come with instructions. “Salt and Pepper shakers for Dummies”. “Temperature for Dummies”. It’s a good thing Kyla’s back and helping me to keep Them from destroying the world by opening a can of dog food in one of Their unique ways.

Now I have to hide your comment from Them-it will give Them ideas.
I tink they been drinkin the alcohol and the instructions are it is RUBBING ALCOHOL not the one for drinking!
Sweet William The Scot
When They drink the alcohol, They become less goofy!
Love it 🙂 I think they were very brave to attempt the temperature thing Kyla and you were very brave to cooperate! I wouldn’t have been so good 😉
I always try the “Kyla defense”. I sit down.
Oh. Oh my.
Keeping track of those two is more than a full time job, that’s why it takes both of us.
Humans! And we’re supposed to trust them?
I trust Them (to do the wrong thing).
Oh, Ma was laughin, and laughin’!! I don’t know what SHE’S laughin’ about….one time she……What? Nothin’ Ma….gotta go……..
Kisses,
Ruby
You have one of Them too?
Priceless!! Us humans are wonderful, aren’t we? Especially when trying to do our best for our babies!
Alyssa, Mr. Fox & Scruffy
They’re very trying.
Sometimes the humans are just embarrassing!!
We have the SAME shakers….but we don’t have anything in them.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
If the shakers are empty, you can’t go wrong. Good thinking.
Mom thought your post was very funny Kaci. Personally, it worried us a little. Be sure to keep an eye on them ok – they clearly need snoopervision.

Kyla has known that for years-I’m seeing first hand (paw) that she’s right.
I think all humans are anyway related. Sorry, but I must laugh…. specially for the pepper&salt thingy… sometimes my mom get this special look too – we decided to call it by now “the pepper&salt look” in your honor. btw: we use the pet-temp ear thermometer, because my rear is my kingdom….
But I can’t try to stop Them from taking my temperature by sitting on my ear. That would be a “salt and pepper” moment.
I agree Kyla, my whole life with this humans is a case of “salt and pepper” :o)
Poor Kayla was violated by a thomometer. I want to hug her.
I think They used the correct end, but I couldn’t see.
Phew, good thing they have your girls too look after them!
It takes 2 of us. I don’t think you could do it without Floyd’s help.
BOL that sounds like something my mummy would do!
It sounds like you have the same problem, but you’re an only dog and have to take care of it all by yourself.
Oh Kaci, we are laughing.. I like those salt n pepper pots 🙂 Your Humoons are as bad as mine..bol.. I hope she never buys me one of those butt testers..Bawahhaaa xx00xx

Hi Everyone, we asked the bloggers for help yesterday and they sent us to you. Our Sebastian apparently has pancreatitis. He was diagnosed yesterday and we don’t have any experience with this disorder, so we’re looking for advice.
He’s taking antibiotics and eating I/D coated with pig pancreas powder. We’re trying to make sure he gets no fat and that’s hard because with ten of us dogs in the house we like our treats.
It’s nice to meet you and we’ll stay in touch.
Morgan, Sebastian, the Porties, Syd and Mac
