10mm is The
Boom of Doom

I was telling the boys that our furnace was on the fritz, when the youngest says, "I'm feeding the dog."

Huh? What does that have to do with anything?

Oh, wait. The house rule is, "He who feeds the dog gets the dog that night." A dog under the covers is marvelously warm.

Smart kid. He immediately saw the problem's solution and seized it.

I guess I'll be wearing wool socks tonight.




The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

Cook some bacon after your son goes to bed. The dog might find a new favorite human who gives him bacon and smells like bacon.

Our two beagles are hotly contested each night. They used to sleep next to Mrs. Gear exclusively, but now like to stay with the kiddos frequently. And yes, they make great space heaters.

I cook bacon every Sunday morning with breakfast. The cats go crazy as soon as they smell it in the oven. They always get a few bits.....

If you’re the kinda Dad that has to one-up your kid at every turn, this is a fantastic idea. At least the dog will love you.

Or the son will realize Dad is smarter (for now) and should pay more attention to what he does.

If you aren't already making that impression without pulling the rug out from under their feet, then I guess you need to make sure you've got a dog that loves bacon. Seems to me Fenris has his head straight about this one, the youngster drew a decent conclusion without trying to screw anyone over.

Sorry guys/girls never have nor will sleep with a dog, not in my bed. I'll go for the warm woman of the house and comforter. While our dogs are part of the family they are still animals plus they have their own beds to sleep. Chris

When I lived in Minnesota, I had a pair of Burmese cats – brothers. Burmese have a nearly dog-like affection for people. And they’re quite hunky critters. When I went to bed in the winter, they’d paw their way under the covers, and make their way down to the foot of the bed. Marvelous foot warmers! Body temp: 101.5 °F!



Serious about crackers
