Buttercup Relief

We have had a solid month of rain. This is not my normal hyberbole. The next week ain't looking so great either.

A week or so ago, I had the Idiot Relief Telethon in honor of the flooding in New Hampshire and I put a link on my page so that y'all could donate to the Idiot's Beer Fund. (I'm still waiting for th first donation to come rolling in, by the way).

In the meantime, I need to bring a serious matter to your attention.

Because of all the rain, my dog buttercup hasn't taken a good dump in like thirty days.
Seriously, look at her:

This is clearly a dog on the edge.

She hates to go out in wet weather. She hates to walk on wet grass. As a result, she makes her trips outdoors as brief as possible, and as a further result, the weather is causing her some serious gastric distress.

So, I appeal to you, kind readers, donate to the Idiot Beer Fund. When the fund hits $25.00 I promise to go find my golf umbrella so that we're both covered when we go a-poopin'.

Give from the heart, the constipated bassett you save may be your own.

ROFL - If I had the money it'd be yours. You make such a convincing argument. Not to mention you have used my favorite breed of dog to make the point with.

LOL! Cute dog, hope her problem clears up (or out) soon.
Good luck with your charity drive. I would give, but I gave at the office. ;-)

Thanks Lumpy and 3T! I know what you mean, I always give to the basset constipation drive at work and then lo and behold, they hit me up again at home!
