Hey dude! JD works the parking lot.


JD: Hey dude, come see me!  I am cute.  Heyyyyyy Wanna pet me?


JD: Bring the little hooman here!  I want to lick it and sniff it. And I bet it wants to pet me!  I am soft!



JD: Get it out of that buggy. I love little hoomans.  Come on, bring me the little hooman.
[They are usually all sticky and sweet, delicious to lick.]


JD: You are leaving? Dang!  

JD: Checking.  Nop. I am still cute, it's you, not me.

Silvieon4: Momma JD is so needy! He is so embarrassing!


Seriously folks, if "cute" is the standard....then I am it!  I am the cutie pie, right?
And no, I don't want to lick the little hooman.
Along with cuteness I have dignity.

Thoughtless Thursday... nothing TO THINK ABOUT! Just hand them out woman!




Soooooo, she had the Temple of yumminess buzy all night.
Do you have any idea how good that smell is?


I fell asleep with a drooling mouth and dreams of delicious dancing in my head.
Sweet torture divine
yummy, yummy delicious be mine?

And then we woke up and the momma was already downstairs. the temple of yumminess was quiet and you could hear the noise of the plastic bags as she filled them.







JD is quite verbal.  And NOT shy.  He told momma he wanted a piece of turkey .

She said it would be part of breakfast- maybe- she needed to THINK ABOUT IT?????

Hey hey hey, it is THOUGHTLESS THURSDAY!  Nothing to think about!!!!, just give us some turkey!




I am seeing a whole lot of delicious and I know my name is one a few pieces, so stop thinking and start serving!

Hooman staff always comes with issues.
