I was looking for an old post yesterday, but I couldn’t find it. I came across this one from 2019 instead:
Friday evening we received a package from Amazon containing three thermometers. We checked to be sure we hadn’t ordered them, but no. Eventually Andy remembered that one of the pups had chomped on one of our thermometers up on the land and destroyed it, so he figured they must have been sent by Torben and Kaitlin.
Sure enough, Torben had ordered them. Why three? Because, he said,
I figure Tempi will eat them eventually.
It pays to be realistic and plan ahead.
I’m afraid Tempi is much more sedate now. Kaitlin and Torben got her in 2016, so she’s over ten years old. She mostly prefers the couch to getting into mischief.

Awesome history and a good reminder

I love this blast for the past. you know I love Tempi.. precious memories..
And she loves that you love her! She is very special.

the Taylor Instrument Company was founded in Rochester, New York in 1851.

I had forgotten about this! Very true. She still gets into some mischief, but she spends a lot more time thinking about it before acting. And it tends to be a bit more targeted to something we did that annoyed her vs just boredom.

What a cute dog and daughter story!
🙂
That was a funny story!

This is a funny story. We all settle down at some time.

I’ve had a similar situation, but in a different way. I once bought a pen for a specific reason, and just a few days later, it was nowhere to be found. The following week, I bought another one, only to lose that one too. Finally, I bought one last pen, and then I came across the two pens I had lost before. Now I have three pens!
I can relate to that! 🙂
This story makes me grin out-loud!
