Esther’s Writing Prompt – Post

Writing Prompts

***

Your prompt this week is:

POST

***

Esther suggests we write about the word post, as in things we send in the mailbox, or that we receive, and things like that. Or I was also thinking about a post, like a wooden fence post or something?

I have so many true stories about this word, either way, that it would be way too long a post to post here. So funny, that we’ll be posting a post about posts!

I’ve been posting (sending mail) and receiving posts in the mailbox for many years. For now I’ll just tell one little story that happened.

What is the strangest thing I’ve ever mailed (posted)? It was an empty (except for a little bit) peanut butter jar, and I mailed it to a dog … my grand-dog, that belonged to my daughter. His name was Maynard Wayne, and he loved licking the last of the peanut butter from a jar. So I mailed him one! My daughter let me know he sure enjoyed receiving his package in the post (mailbox).  🙂

Maynard Wayne was a large, tan and white Husky/Labrador. I have lots of pictures and stories of him. We miss him. ❤

J – July

What?

What is the strangest thing you ever mailed through the post office?

For me it would be an empty peanut butter jar.

My daughter’s dog loved licking the leavings from peanut butter jars, so I mailed one to Mr. Maynard Wayne. She said he loved it. Here’s a picture of him. 🙂

What might be the silliest thing you ever asked Google search?

Mine is probably this: “Can a chigger bug live in your leg for years, and then come back to life?”

I’m pretty sure the answer is no.

“Don’t Let Him Off the Leash!”

***

This is my daughter’s dog, Maynard Wayne. He’s a big, friendly, and boisterous dog.

One morning my husband wanted to take him for a walk, down to the lake by our house, so we put him on the leash, and off they went out the back gate. My daughter and I watched from the back porch, as dog and man made their way toward the water.

Now, what did we say, right before they left? “Don’t let him off the leash!” That’s because he’d be off and running wild, and when he’s like that, he doesn’t want to pay attention to the rules.

Sure enough, as we watched, the first thing that happened was, he was let off the leash. We just shook our heads and watched the drama take place.

Maynard took off  like a shot, jumped in the lake, and started swimming to the other side. We could hear my husband hollering, “Maynard, come back!”, and trying to run around to the other side of the lake to intercept him. This went on awhile. Finally, he caught up with the dog, and put his leash back on, and they trudged back to the house, Maynard dripping wet, with stinky lake water. We had to immediately give him a bath. He hates baths. He loves swimming in old lake water, but hates to be bathed…go figure.

This was a good time to say, “We told you not to let him off the leash!”

P.S. Maynard, his brother dog, and the family are coming to visit again, this weekend! Whee!
