Zippers!!!

Mommy is having a tough time with zippers lately. 

She just can't get the zippers closed on dog treat bags!!!!  You know what I'm talking about -- the dog treat bags with the resealable zippers in it.  

It takes Mommy like 1 million attempts to line up the two sides of the bag to get it closed properly. 

We told Mommy, to just put the open bag of dog treats on the floor and we would be on the "HONOR SYSTEM" and just take one treat at a time.  Mommy burst out laughing at that idea -- what -- doesn't she think us dogs can follow the Honor System? 

As a solution, she is using an old dog treat container she saved -- and is just filling it with dog treats.  Bet the marketers of the dog treats wouldn't like Mommy's idea of using the old dog treat container -- she is putting one brand of dog treats in a container marked for another brand of dog treats.  The horror!  

(We liked our "Honor System" solution better than this one!)

Anyway, speaking of zippers!  And Mommy's dislike for zippers right now... 

Somehow Mommy managed to get her zipper stuck in the up position on a pair of pants she was wearing to work. 

Mommy said, it's a good thing she is a bit overweight -- she was able to jiggle her fat back and forth -- and get that pair of pants down without having to use scissors to destroy the pants to get them off her.

Grandma offered to fix the zipper.  So, Grandma told Mommy all about how she used a pair of "pliers" that Mommy keeps in the Living Room Cabinet to help grip the zipper to try to get it unstuck.  She was really yanking on that zipper with the "pliers" butt couldn't get it unstuck.

Since Mommy wasn't home when Grandma attempted to fix the zipper -- Mommy said to Grandma.... "I don't keep any "pliers" in the Living room."  So, Mommy went to the Living Room Cabinet and saw our dog Toe Nail Clippers.  


Mommy said to Grandma -- did you use the dog's Toe Nail Clippers?  

Grandma said she thought they were pliers.  "Ooops!"

So, now Mommy has to go out and buy a new pair of dog Toe Nail Clippers -- because she doesn't know if  the Toe Nail Clippers got damaged by trying to grasp the zipper and pull it down.

As it turns out, Mommy's sister was the one who was successful in getting the zipper down -- and all she had to use was a paperclip to grasp the zipper and wiggle it unstuck somehow...  Looks like one of the teeth on the zipper was a bit off track, and that's what made the zipper get stuck.

Humans should just walk around naked like us dogs -- it would save them a lot of time -- and think of how many more dog treats they could buy with all that extra money they saved from buying clothes!!! 



Have a great day!!!

P.P.S.  I still like our "Honor System" idea!!!   Just take "one" treat --- per second.    :)
