A trip back in time. Early spring 2019. Out with Elliecoo at an event for a non-profit we are involved with. Hanging out with people from the event, drinking beer and having a good time. A little later we run into friends in the enjoining bar. As “olds” are wont to do we start talking about health. I proceed to talk about my weight and all the cholesterol Elliecoo feeds me. She tries to give me an out but i decide to double down. Needless to say the conversation afterward was not a good one. The next thing I know she tells me about two puppies that need a home from our local rescue. They need to be adopted together because they are brothers and bonded. This would help her hurt feelings. I will give Ellie credit, She saw her opening and took it. That is how we got Bruce and Bill. They are 15 months old and holy terrors. The moral of the story is “Know when to shut the fuck up”.

Post commentary:
Keitel loves those little dogs.
The man did not just double-down, he quintupled-down.
Unless the recipe calls for arsenic, it is inappropriate to say in a VERY LOUD voice while at a public event “she’s killing me with her cooking”.
We laugh about this now, but I was mortified.
The frequency of desserts in the Blacksmith household has increased to provide Food You Can Eat posts. For next week, bag salad it is.
Actions have consequences, woof woof woof.
Hobo Johnson – I Want a Dog (play to the chorus, please)
Elvis Presley – Hound Dog
Eliecoo, thank you for your service.
…for a moment there I thought the hobo johnson track was a cover?
…so thank you for that
Some people think I’m damaged ’cause I’m always on my own
But just because the lights are out don’t mean you’re not at home
And they say when you’re psychotic that you never walk alone
I’m just a three-legged dog on the roam
That is a good song – band is new to me, but added to my playlists now.
They have a bunch of good stuff & even the singer, Tod Ashley’s previous band Cop Shoot Cop is cool.
…damn…I haven’t heard that in a long time
…have I mentioned lately that I’m a massive fan of these threads?
That is fantastic
…I haven’t seen one of those guitars in a long time but I think I recall having a long conversation about the pros & cons of them with a guy in a tiny shop in the middle of nearly-nowhere many moons ago…possibly even on a small island off the coast of scotland…which I guess is already a small island by some standards?
still think they’re kind of cool, even if he made some sound points about their shortcomings…
Hmmm, you’re giving me ideas here. Fanny could use a sibling. They are very cute little pups, I’m glad they found a good, if cholesterol heavy home * ducks* with you.
I try not to post John Prine too often but the title tonight was a perfect set up.
A Good Time
Oh my, I bet you can do a low-cal Food You Can Eat Post? 🙂 Also – no need to duck – I have 4 dogs now.
I was just kidding of course.
I don’t do low cal food anymore. I have a lot of food issues, I mostly drink protein shakes but I’m trying to eat more real foods and not obsess. I do have a super easy and delicious bean recipe I should put up on Food You Can Eat. I’m leaving for vacation this weekend but when I get back I will!
Thank you! Have a lovely vacation.
Not my favorite, but I kinda had to………
Bless you Keitel and Ellie. Sometimes my rescues (dogs and cats) dream and yelp when they sleep, as pets will do, and I often wonder if they’re having a bad dream about their awful prior lives. I hope not!
Here’s a Cat singing about the dog he loves.
Oh, I hope not too, poor babies. I don’t understand why anyone would be less than adoring of their animal companions.
Animal abusers are right up there in my book of the worst kind of human beings on earth. These poor creatures are helpless and they rely on us and to abuse them is reprehensible.
When I was a kid my sister stole a dog after seeing the children in the family throwing stones at it. At first my dad told her to take it back, but then the father called and went off on my dad. So my dad told the guy to try to come and get the dog, he’d be waiting with a stack of rocks to throw at him, lol. We had a new dog.
I love your father for doing that.
He was our hero!

> Baja Men, “Who Let The Dogs Out”
the door is closed. but
k so i can change the wording in my upcoming food post to she rather than they in regards to elliecoo and i understand a pm a lot more now than i did an hour ago…so this might be relevant mr. keitel, “Lentil soup is mental fruit”
Dead Prez Be Healthy
It’s good to be around other animal lovers.
Whoa how did I miss that you guys know each other IRL?!
…so…I’m gonna go ahead & leave this here…I’m not saying it pays to learn your lesson, Keitel…but I’m not not saying it either?
Hey now, I would be happy with even more dogs.
…with a bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay?
Motörhead – Shut Your Mouth (Live):
Lyrics:
You been around the world
You think the world is yours
All right, you been up all night
So why can’t you get it right?
No chance (say what?)
No dance for you (no shit)
No teenage romance (chill out)
Out of the mix, out of the mix
Ain’t no way out, your momma was right
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth
You weren’t home last night,
You don’t come home no more
Gotta be fair, your don’t say where
You don’t know, nobody cares
No chance (say what?)
No dance for you (no shit)
No teenage romance (chill out)
Better be quick, better be quick
Ain’t no way out, your momma was right
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Guitar
Can you tell me the truth?
Can it get much worse?
Don’t tell me no lies, ‘cos I can read your eyes.
You’re everything that we despise,
No chance (say what?)
No dance for you (no shit)
No teenage romance (chill out)
None of your tricks, none of your tricks
Ain’t no way out, your momma was right
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth
…I’m guessing what sent it there had something to do with editing it – think maybe I saw that minus the lyrics beforehand?
…I don’t tend to use that edit window with the countdown timer much but it seems like it has a mind of its own about which edits it deems hinky
yes. thanks
hey splinter, my comment went to spam
…bear with me…I’ll see what I can shake loose?
thank you. I think it was my editing
So, I DID have to Google this one, because the only “dog” line I can remember in a ‘Jovi song is in Sante Fe, one of the songs I posted last night😉
But, YES, there *is* apparently a ‘Jovi, even for ^^^THIS theme!😁😆🤣
Link about it:
And the song, too;
Also, because *this* is my other favorite Dog song:
And just because sometimes ya need a good cry–and you can DEPEND on a Red Sovine song for that *any* time😉🥴😭;
The Feed Jake dog looks a bit like Fanny!
………and an old favorite, from the very first album I ever owned:
I’m late to the dog party but I actually have a dog named Boo – who is licking his butt with wild abandon while I type this.
Might I suggest eating the bananas instead of waiting for them to magically turn into bread?
Just saw this comment now – a proceeded to snort my coffee. :). Foot in mouth may magically turn into dogs, too!
Our dog is absolutely the sweetest, ever. She’s the exact opposite of our previous dog, who was really a cat trapped in a dog’s body. We’d spent so many years with our anti social dog, that we’d completely forgotten what having a sweet puppy was actually like. We’ve had her for two years now and it still hasn’t gotten old:)
