Mommy's Looney / Exhibit A

OK I admit this blog post title is a little misleading.  My mommy is silly; she's not looney (yet).

Wanted to recap two things that happened earlier this week.

1.  Mommy's favorite Looney Tunes Plate (that she's been using since she was a little girl from the 1980s)  got stuck in Grandma's favorite pot.   Grandma made stuffed cabbage and was rolling the meat & rice in the cabbage and piling them on the plates for Mommy to line up in the oven pot.  (We even got to taste-test the meat and rice filling to make sure Mommy mixed the rice and meat up just right. It was pawsome as ever.)  Anyway, after everything was all rolled up and was put in the oven pot, it was time to wash the dishes, Grandma put all the plates she used inside the pot and stuck it in the sink to wash.   As it turns out, Mommy's favorite plate got stuck at the bottom of the pot and we had a hard time getting the plate out of the pot.




 
I think the soapy water in the pot might have caused a suction so that's how the plate got stuck at the bottom.  It didn't help that the plate was like a perfect fit at the bottom of the pot too.

Mommy and Grandma tried everything to get the plate unstuck -- a knife (it was too thick), a straw trying to wedge between the plate and the side of the pot (Mommy, I could have told you that theory wasn't gonna work), and even tried to stick her fingernail in the corner to get the plate unstuck. 

Mommy was like to Grandma -- we are just gonna have to break your pot to get my plate out of it.

Grandma said to Mommy -- no we are just gonna have to break your plate to save my pot.

Anyway, we let it sit for a while on top of the oven, hoping the heat of the oven will dry up the water inside the pot.

Mommy's brother -in-law came over, and started banging the pot upside down on the cutting board.   (All this banging probably caused the Earthquake that our blog friends the Cowspot dogs mentioned earlier this week.)

Anyway, finally after practically breaking the cutting board -- the plate got unstuck from one end, and then all this water poured out from the pot, and then the plate magically fell out from the pot. 

This is the victorious picture of us so happy that Mommy's favorite plate was saved as well as the pot.

2.  The second thing that happened this week concerns all the resident dogs of Blogville.

Attention Blogville Residents, it has come to our attention that there was a car disguised as a CAT in the Philadelphia area (near Independence Hall/ Liberty Bell).  Now, we all know how dogs like to bark at cars, and our humans get all mad and tell us to stop barking at cars.   Butt the following picture provides proof why we dogs must continue to bark at cars -- because you never know when one is gonna be disguised as a CAT.

I provide you with EXHIBIT A.

Exhibit A -- CAT CAR.  See the TAIL and the liscense plate starting with the letters " CAT."


Mommy tried to defend the CAT CAR.  Mommy said, "Your Honor, Judge Lassiter Chase, that car was an advertisement for a cat veterinarian office, it said it does house calls."

I told Mommy, that my ruling stood and I threw her argument out of the courtroom.

Official Ruling: All dogs of Blogville must continue to bark at all cars -- and we should NOT feel guilty by doing so!

Sincerely,

The Honorable Judge Lassiter Chase and his assistant, Benjamin Gilligan  (Lassie and Benji)

  10. The plate is really brilliant, and it must have been worrying for mummy when it wouldn't come out of the pot!
    Hoorah, I can continue to bark at cars!! Does this mean I can herd them too?

  11. I wonder what would have happened if you had put the pot on the stove over a gentle heat. I wonder if the plate might have floated free when the water started to heat up.

    Anyway, your mum's brother-in-law solved it with brute force - men are often good at that, lol.

  15. Oh in my hood I have a car disguised as a cow do you think something is amiss? Now I like you mommy's favorite plate, next time try sitting it upside down on a soft towel and walking away. The suction goes away after awhile.
    Thanks for being a friend
