A few of you asked me to actually write about my pot holders. You probably thought I wasn’t crazy enough to actually do that–well you were WRONG! So here is a picture of my lovely pot holders:
As you can see there’s nothing special about them…except I really love that Williams Sonoma one. It was a wedding gift. Because I’m pretty sure it costs five bucks just to browse in Williams Sonoma. Although I do love everything about that place…but I digress–this post isn’t about that. It’s about pot holders. Of course there’s stains all over them and if you look closely you’ll see there’s a DOG hair on one of them.
I really wonder how much dog hair I ingest everyday. Do you think it’s healthy to eat dog hair? I guess I haven’t died yet!
So speaking of dog hair–ok that was a horrible segway and has nothing to do with what I’m about to type-My father is going to have oral surgery on December 3rd (My mom is actually having oral surgery next week!) and I was emailing him to ask him about it. Here’s what followed:
Me: When is your surgery on your gums?
Dad: December 3rd
Me: Is it a major surgery?
Dad: It may make me impotent.
And that is actually TAME for him. Some things he says I can’t even type on here because they make my cheeks burn.

I love putting bad pictures of the dogs up. It makes me feel better about myself. Which here is where you say “Oh they look good in every picture.” Which is going to just destroy all my self-confidence…

Well, I do think you probably look better in the whtie strapless wedding gown then they would! Seriously, you are lovely while your dogs are totally cute but certainly not lovlier than you.
OK then, your dogs look soooooooo UGLY 🙂
Your Dad is funny. He’d be fun to hang out with at a BBQ.
The apple must not fall far from the tree — your dad is hilarious and so are you!
I cracked up! Does he love dogs and potholders, too??? I wonder.
Love the dog pictures. I love that you post them with their smiling doggy faces. Too cute.
Blessings!

Yes–he does love MY dogs. Not all dogs though. I didn’t mention that earlier in that email he said he missed them! He’s an interesting guy!
I love posting awkward pictures of my dogs, too!
I used to those out, as though I was protecting their public image or something. But then I realized that they see nothing wrong with licking their butts in front of an audience, I don’t think they really care about their public image…
Oh my goodness, I love your Dad’s response. That made me crack up.
I love that Williams Sonoma potholder. I so love that it’s pink!!! I’ve never been in that store and I’m thinking that’s because it intimidates me. 🙂
I love your pix of your dogs they are always so dang fun too see.
I ingest thousands of dog hair every day – and I havent died yet either! Your dad is funny. wedding pic is gorgeous!
Your dad is hilarious.
I love the pink WS potholder. Isn’t it nice when small things, like a pretty potholder, make you happy?!
I have dog hair on EVERYTHING. That’s why we got a yellow lab…so her hair would blend into our pale carpet.
I love pictures of your dogs. ALWAYS! dogs just make me happy. Mine is snoring away in my bed right now, queen of the world.
I wonder the same thing about dog hair. Sometimes I can’t believe I don’t cough up hair balls. Your dad sounds like a hoot!
you’re right … that one right there … oy! How can he look at himself in the mirror?
Gee, I wonder where you get it…
I know what you mean about dog hair….do you get the “I just realized that I have dog hair in my mouth and now I’m going to have to work it to the tip of my tongue” face?
Ohhhh beautiful wedding picture!!
It’s amazing that I wear black as much as I do with all the dog hair I’ve got. Sometimes my boyfriend will lay on the floor with a black tshirt. I don’t think he will ever learn.
Your father sounds quit comical. It is always good to have a sense of humor in any situation.
Thanks for the tour of your potholders…such a random thing to type!
Your dad sounds like a hoot.
May I be in your family? Please?
And at our house, a potholder (or, as my mom calls them, “hot pads” because she can’t ever remember the word potholder…weird) is not complete without a dog hair on it.
You are so funnY!!!!! My yellow lab (correction: dumb blonde) just always KNOWS when I am wearing black and will brush up against me. So, my black wardrobe, no matter how much laundering, laundrying, whatev, looks like your pot holder.
I read a study that says if dog hair lands in your own hair, it can fuse together, and your hair will start growing all weird and disfigured like.
Wow, I can’t believe I made that up, it sounds so true.
You dad sounds just like my dad…they sure keep life fun!
Your dad is a hoot! And I like your dog’s collar. I’ve got to get a new one for Mabel… her’s is in horrible shape.
I think I love your dad! LOL
YOU are one gorgeous lady! And yes Angela, you are too!
haha your dad sounds like so much fun! you look beautiful in your wedding photo! 🙂
My potholders have a hole burned in them from me laying them on the open gas falme. I almost burned the house down, but my potholder still have 4 squr inches of good left until I throw it away!!! Love your daddy!!! There’s an old saying that goes, Amother’s love is seen in the smiles of her dogs. Or children. something like that!
Awesome. I love the last bad dog picture. It looks like you caught him mid yawn or something.
There was only one piece of dog hair on your pot holder? Sheesh, I think I have at least 10 cat hairs on my pot holders. You’re doing real well if you have just one.
I love that picture of you and your dad. Beautiful.
And you are a great mom. 😉
cute potholders, much classier than mine!
beautiful bride and happy dad :o) i would DIE if my dad said anything about being impotent. seriously DIE
the dog pics are my favorite part of the blog – even if they are “bad” pics LOL
Ok, only you can get away with blogging about your pot holders! 🙂
Your dad….sounds like perhaps he could use some orbit gum to clean up his dirty mouth. 🙂
some day the FDA will insist that we all consume 2 – 3 Tablespoons of dog hair per day.
you are so funny, from pot holders to shocking things a father can say to his daughter to bad dog pics– never a dull day around here!
Oh, how I miss my Daddy…He died in ’04, but the stories live on! One halloween, he stuffed a nylon knee-high and stuck it out of his zipper and wore a mask to his favorite restaurant. Talk about inappropriate!
p.s. you are BEAUTIFUL, dog hair and all!
Sadie looks really funny! She’s looks like she’s tipsy! 🙂
You look beautiful; you don’t need the dogs to make you look better!
I own a couple Williams Sonoma pot holders myself, got them on clearance though, otherwise they’re a bit pricey.
You’re fabulous, but why did you marry your dad? That is what that picture is about isn’t it? I’m in Utah, so I’m used to some pretty crazy marriage stuff, but that takes the cake. Is that why you told me you were crying on your wedding day? I’ve been ill for a few days so I have no idea about the pot-holders, so I shall go back and investigate. Missed You!
If gum surgery might make your dad impotent…I think he might want to shop around for a new surgeon!! Or at least put a big X on his face so the doctor knows where to look for his GUMS!!! LOL and the dogs are fabulous as always! There I said it…now what?
love the pot holder helps…
and I agree…I don’t think there could be a bad photo of those lovely puppies…there ya have it!

I don’t think you have swallowed dog hair without noticing. Have you ever felt a dog hair in the bend of an elbow or along your skin? My dog isn’t a pure bred (he’s a rescue), and his hair HURTS like Hades whenever I feel it along my skin. Not when I’m petting him, but when there is that lone hair that made its way under my sleeve or up my pant leg. Yikes! How can such a soft dog have such needle-like fur?!
Oh, and I’m certain you know that when you are as cute as your puppies, you never take a bad picture :).
I think my diet consists of 30% dog hair. 😆
You are hilarious. I love this post. And I too love the WIlliams Sonoma one. Love the pic of you and your dad. Pretty sure he is probably very entertaining. ha ha
Oh my goodness! I can’t get enough! You are so funny! Well, we’re over here wishing good thoughts for Dad, So funny! I love it!

gotta say- you look WAY better than the doggies in this post!!!!!!!!!!
*whistling dixie*
OMGosh your dad is a joker!!! to funny! you were a beautiful bride!
