*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Welcome to Giggles & Grins! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Between Harley (my new puppy) and my visiting niece, Sarah, I haven't
had any time or energy left over for the Giggles. Harley is growing up,
which is both fun and depressing. Fun because he's so smart and funny
and cute and depressing because it's happening too fast. Saturday my
parents, Sarah and I all went to the DC zoo and then in the evening
Sarah and I took Harley and Maverick to downtown Annapolis. Until last
week Harley had not left the house because he hadn't had his shots. Now
that the vet has given him the go-ahead, we've taken him to Brusters a
couple of times, of course. Otherwise, he has had no experience with
the big, bad world. I was thrilled with how well he behaved in the chaos
of Annapolis' inner harbor on a Saturday evening. Even if all he had
done was walk on a leash and tolerate the traffic, noise, crowds and
strange dogs, I would have been happy. But we actually took him on a
boat tour of the harbor! I couldn't believe the tour guy let us take
the dogs with us, but he did, and they had a good time. Well, Harley
did, Maverick just tolerated it. Harley watched and listened to
everything we passed and showed absolutely no fear. Sunday we left him
home again while we went to the Baltimore Aquarium and then to writers'
group in the evening. Today I could barely keep my eyes open and I feel
like someone has been beating on me with a hammer. See why I haven't
been doing the Giggles? Enjoy the Giggles!

Because of professional commitments, my wife stayed in Maryland for a
year after I took a teaching job in South Carolina. Some of my
ninth-grade music-appreciation students, however, had difficulty
understanding our separation. One day, while I was playing a Beethoven
symphony for them, a girl asked, "Do you listen to that kind of music at
home?"
When I answered that I did, another student muttered, "No wonder his
wife won't live with him." ~~Reader's Digest

I had a dog who was part collie and part pit bull. He'd bite you,
but then he'd run for help.

A man was arrested for holding up a 7-Eleven with a banana. Not for
the holdup but for bringing something that was actually nutritous into a
7-Eleven.

The substitute teacher was struggling to open a lock on the Sunday
school supply cabinet. She'd been told the combination but couldn't
quite remember it. Finally she went to the pastor's study and asked for
help.
When the minister began to twist the dial, he paused after the first
couple of numbers and stared blankly. Finally he looked heavenward and
his lips moved silently then he looked back at the lock, turned to the
final numbers, and clicked open the hasp.
The teacher was amazed. "I'm in awe of your faith, Paster."
"It's really nothing," he responded. "The numbers are on a piece of
tape on the ceiling."

A guy killed someone before his yoga class. It was premeditated
murder.

Fun Fact of the Day
Approximately 87% of dog owners say that when they watch T.V. their
dog curls up beside them or at their feet.

Useless Trivia
Thirty-year-old Don Juan named Norman Horowitz of New York City was
arrested in Westport, Connecticut on August 11, 1936 for kissing his
wife.
Did they really have a law against kissing your wife in public? Were
the people of Westport that prudish back then? No, not really. But, it
was against the law to kiss your wife while driving and then swerve your
car into oncoming traffic. That one big smooch not only got him in hot
water with the law, but it also got him a fine $15.40 for his offense.
That was five bucks for the hot passion and an added $10.40 in court
costs.

Many years ago when an adored dog died, a great friend, a bishop,
said to me, "You must always remember that, as far as the Bible is
concerned, God only threw the humans out of Paradise.
