Poor a little wine in his dog bowl to go with the tick.

I think the occasion calls for white.

Seriously, Dogs are equipped to eat meat that has been rotting for a few weeks. I don’t think you have much to worry about.

Just make sure the head of the tick didn’t stay inside the dog. Check him for signs of infection and if you see a spot getting infected take him to a vet. Other than that he should be fine.

You should go take a shower now and check for updates when you get back.

One of my high school teachers locked his keys in his car. After hours of trying to open the door using coat hangers we decided to break out the back window. Immediately after breaking the window someone noticed the window on the other side was rolled completely down.

a new key fob

I'm curious. What does "fob" mean regarding smart automobile keys.

Out of all the possibilities I am aware of none seemed to apply to automobiles. I tried all the following but only the last one could possibly apply.

Freight On Board
Fresh Off the Boat
Friendly Order of Battle
Fuel On Board
Full Of Baloney
Full Of Beans
Foreign Objects
Foot Of the Bed
Flat On Back
First Order of Business
Family Owned Business

This must be it ... Frequently Operated Button

Fob (as in key fob) doesn't stand for anything at all. It's simply a word and it originated hundreds of years ago from the German word fuppe - which means "small pocket".

Back in those days, people used to carry pocket watches on a chain. The chain was called a "fob" and many men's suits at the time had a small pocket called a "fob pocket" to contain such watch and chain.

The dog is getting ready for Halloween: Tick or treat.

“...a new key fob ($150) and programming ($75). Total bill around $600. I now have to pay another $75 when I get home to have my spare key fob reprogrammed.”

Volkswagen?

You don’t indicate whether or not you’re married. I suspect not, so I suggest that you do that. That way, you would never get into all this stuff, especially on trips to New Jersey, knowing that she would never believe a word of this
BS.

Sam, you are a Class of ‘97, coming up on your 16th anniversary.

You are a tough bird, and a good egg.

The dog will be fine, the neighbors ticked off about your leaves, but hey, “Down Under” can be a rocking fine tune!

Your day was better than the day 99.% of the people on the planet have.

You have hot water.

You have a flushing toilet.

You live better than royalty did 110 years ago.

By the way, next time your vehicle pulls a stunt like that, threaten to turn it into a refrigerator at the local scrap yard.

Works for me every time.

I discovered that one thing you don’t ever want to do is let one of those electronic keys accidentally get into the laundry.

That was an expensive mistake.

Yes, don’t lose the key. That’s about a replacement costs.

I just had one removed from ,,, my uh,, chest. I’m in Northern Wi, where there is a massive population of the da*n things, this one apparently crawled from my labrador’s body(sleeping at the foot of my BED!) and embedded itself in my uh ,, right chest area.
Dash to the medical clinic this morning. Just my
luck, the MD was cute and young!
Now on antibiotics. 90% chance it’s Lymes. Help!
