My best friend and I go back well over a century, some sad but mostly happy times along the way. From skinny-dipping in the pond behind the house, riding bicycles down muddy dirt roads, and fishing for goggle-eyes in the local creeks we've had a good long friendship.
Well, he keeps a small vegetable garden behind his house in the village he lives in. Though there is a "leash law" in place the folks in the village are terribly irresponsible and the dogs...pits, shepherds, terriers, sooners, you name it...run pretty much where they want to. My buddy is constantly battling with them, trying to keep them out of his yard and garden.
A week ago he went to visit one of his kids and his grandkids. I dropped by a couple of times to check his house out for him, etc.,. I looked at his garden on one of those trips and decided to snap a picture of it. That started out innocently enough. I was just gonna send him a nice shot of his garden...no problem. Before all this was over I had tears rolling down my cheeks 'cause I was laughing so hard!!!! But, then I got to thinking and found a picture of a nice dog and I sent his daughter this "modified" photo (he uses a little flip phone and she uses a larger smart phone)...it got him stirred up a bit. I didn't respond for a while. I figured I'd let this stew for a while.
I finally decided to up the ante' a bit so I texted them I had another photo from a little while later I needed to send. He told me to send it to his daughter's phone (he wanted to see the picture good). I found yet some more dog photos to add to the party...and sent him this last shot, mentioning something about coming back a bit later and witnessing the party taking place.... I got a text from him "Save that picture for the sheriff".
I let that simmer a little while until his daughter texted me asking if I was photoshopping it. My answer..."Who? Me?"<grin>
A little time passed and I got a one-word text from my buddy... "A__h__e!!!"
I still get a big grin from this...just had to share.
