Barney Fife

by wrinkler on February 10, 2010

One of the many things I cherish about Mr. M is that he is the funniest person I know. He makes me laugh all the time–and this one is so good I have to share it.

Yesterday morning, the UPS guy came. Buster goes into full-alert mode for the UPS guy, the Fed Ex guy, the mailman, Girl Scouts selling cookies, you name it.

It’s all a show–in reality, he is an enormous chicken. Also yesterday, before the UPS man, there was A LANDSCAPING CART in our way on our run. Who knew it was a deadly landscaping cart? He went into immediate full-brake mode, and he spent about four minutes checking the cart for weaponry. Which means sticking his neck way out, sniffing, and skittering backwards, sticking, sniffing, and skittering backwards, etc. .

When the UPS man came after we returned safely home, B did his usual barking and growling. Mr. M looked at him for a minute and said, “Barney Fife.”

EXACTLY!!
