8/21/24 Does your nose stop working when you get old?

I was walking Debby and as usual she tried to attack a dog walking by us.

Even though I was holding my snarling dog I couldn’t help but notice that that other dog was beautifully coiffed.

So I started thinking.

Maybe I should give the Debster a bath.

After all she’s only had 3 since I got her 5 years ago but she doesn’t smell in the least.

I went back to that thinking thing and the sandwich popped into mind.

Earlier this year Julie and I were going to Costco and she said “Your car stinks”.

“I don’t smell anything so shut up”.

Since we were at our destination the subject was dropped.

Then I did that thinking thing again.

I had noticed that whenever I picked up my car at the garage all the windows were open.

hmmm.

I put 2 and 2 together.

The next day I took my car to be cleaned.

Brought it back to my lot and didn’t use it for a few weeks.

When I did guess what happened!

The windows were all open.

This needed real detective work.

When I opened my trunk I was patting myself on the back for finding a tunafish sandwich and a coke.

Not one to rest on my laurels I decided to fix the problem and I bought a bunch of those little stinky trees that they sell in carwashes and threw them all in the trunk.

Problem solved.

Anyway Julie had to go to the hospital and my sister, Debby and I picked Julie and Dan up.

Since we were sitting in the front Julie and Dan sat in the back

We had only gone a few blocks when Julie weak as she was says “Your car still stinks.”.

Since she had just been unwell I let it pass.

I figured she’s under the weather so who knows what she’s smelling.

Anyway what was I saying?

Oh yeah. Should I give Debby a bath?

You tell me? Does she look like she smells?

I don’t think so

  1. Does anyone else complain about your car? Does Debby need to have her teeth cleaned at the vet’s? Does Julie need her own teeth cleaned?

    Hope Julie is home. Sending her “get well” wishes.πŸ’œπŸͺ»πŸΎπŸ€©

  2. Mattie, I so hope I am wrong, but it appears you may have left us. Thank you for all of your years of sharp, insightful, and amusing posts, for sharing your life with us. I have missed you. I would love to read your take on wherever you have moved on to. Godspeed, dear lady.
