Adopting is the right thing to do and from a shelter. Thanks for caring.

So, Inoch, it’s ’bout time you made some kind of comment even if only to rub it in about that picture of you and MY mother getting cozy.

And, yep, I was very, very jealous ’cause there I was at home, lonely and all by myself, during your very public flirtation. Well, how would you like it?

Anyways, don’t think my mom will every really appreciate this not-so-smart phone unless maybe in an emergency (heaven forbid.) She’s more skeered of it than she was when the little snake got into our house a couple of weeks ago. Now that’s REALLY something (and another story for another time.)

Cheerio, my man!

Hi Harley,

Inoch here. I’ve been reading your post about Smart phones, and all the comments. Now, let me ask you a question, Harley. Remember the day your mom came home and told you she met me? Remember she showed you a picture of me giving your mom a kiss? Well, that was done with my mom’s Smart phone. Could you have been jealous, and that’s REALLY why you don’t like those Smart phones? Think about it, Harley. Could that be the REAL reason? If that’s the real reason, I promise that the next time I meet your mom, I won’t let my mom take out that Smart phone. I hear Mom saying how wonderful it is; but if you ask me, it can cause a lot of trouble….as in your case. Chillax, Harley. Life is good.

Your friend,
Inoch

Hey everybody. Guess you don’t understand. We didn’t get a smart phone . . . just a newer version of the old cell phone which looks much like our land line phone. The replacement is flip-top like your mommy and daddy have, Bonnie & Clyde. But to us it’s modern. Are smart phones the flat kind of thingies that people do magic on with their fingers or something? We don’t want that. We just need to be able to call SOS or whatever,

It’s good to know Fabian, Nikki, and Mojo that your mom knows some of the same words as my own mother. Wow. Better she blows her top that way I guess than , , , well you know . . . the “hot tub route.”

And Skipper, I agree. No dumb phone, even the smart kind, comes close to filling in when we’re left alone. (besides, Mom takes her dumb phone with her but the other phone rings and wakes me up.) Oh well.

It’s good to hear from ya’ll.

Lovingly,
Harley McGuire

Oh, so true, Harley. Another amusing and universal article! Our mommy’s folks (Adrienne & Doug) just purchased their very first smart phones and were so confused (naturally) that they had to take a class just to learn how to operate the damn thing.
And our mommy and daddy do not even own smart phones. They happily have been using the old “dumb phones” with the flip top for years now.

Yep, Harley, we feel the same way about “smart” phones. We hear unbelievable language coming out of Mom’s mouth when she can’t figure out what to do…something as simple as answering the darn thing and that’s providing she can tell it’s her phone ringing in the first place.

Well Chip’n Dale, our new phone ain’t even a “smart” one. What do you expect for ten bucks? Sheesh!

Thanks, Dean. It’s nice to know someone appreciates my suffering.

Lovingly,

I think you Mom is way smarter than some phone. Those smart phones can’t be very smart, because if you were left alone with just a phone, to babysit you, would it feed you, or scratch your belly or give you kisses? Not so “smart” in my mind.
