The bathroom is relatively small here so we don’t have a separate shower, it is an integral part of the bathtub. The only way I can reach the taps to polish them properly is to climb in the bath. I was happily buffing away at the chrome when I accidentally turned on the taps and inadvertently ended up having an impromptu shower. I was fully dressed at the time.
We took Rick to our local pub, The Dumb Post, for lunch. It was surprisingly busy for a Thursday lunch. Rick was on best behaviour and sat quietly under the table watching a black Labrador showing off and doing tricks in the public bar. All went well until we were leaving. The Labrador had the audacity to sniff Rick’s bum and suddenly all hell let loose. Hey ho as John Gray would say.
Ha, ha! Having a shower with your clothes on made me laugh ! Coo what a sight for sore eyes that must have been :)
ReplyDeleteMy family thought it was funny too.
DeleteYour post gave me a good chuckle, thanks! I can't help but to think you might be safer washing dishes when it comes to getting your clothes wet.
ReplyDeleteI can get pretty wet when it comes to doing the dishes too.
DeleteRe: Rick's encounter with the black lab - I gather a kerfuffle ensued. Who got the better of whom, pray tell?
ReplyDeletePaul managed to get Rick away quickly before too much trouble, I think it was an even match.
DeleteI wonder what Rick's bum smells like. Have you ever sniffed it yourself?
ReplyDeleteIt's how I greet him every morning; it smells like a dog's bum.
DeleteI followed your blog, and would like to invite you to follow mine as well.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Lon. I'll be right over...
DeleteI sympathise; it can't have been pleasant for him.
ReplyDeleteUninvited bum sniffs are never pleasant.
DeleteI've had the fully-dressed shower experience myself; not fun!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
It was a bit of a shock - the water was cold!
DeleteThat's the worst of having the shower over the bath ! In the past I lost count of the number of times I accidentally washed my hair or drenched myself. Much better now with just a walk in shower and no bath.
ReplyDeleteInca sits down if another dog has the audacity to sniff her bum, but some are very persistent !
I'm glad I'm not the only one to get wet.
DeleteHow well trained your family are, it's always me that cleans up - even if it's the next day if you see what I mean.
ReplyDeleteYou must know the story about the dogs get together long ago, they all hung their tails up as it was indoors and there was a fire and they all rushed out grabbing a tail on the way. Ever since they keep sniffing each other to eventally find their right tail. Well, as a kid it was a logical thing.
I hadn't heard that story before, that's sweet!
DeleteSweet it may be but the real reason is, I am afraid, much more realistic!!! I always wonder why these flare ups occur all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteCanine testosterone I guess.
