This dog has been in most of my nightmares lately, which is probably a good thing because that means I am getting some sleep. At about 3:00 in the morning I usually get up to use the bathroom, but I know as soon as I get up, he hears me and wants out of his pen. So, I walk very cautiously and just as I get to the bathroom door the whining starts. Now, I have to take him outside, but all he wants to do is play. Now the other dog is awake, and now that dog wants to go outside.
Meanwhile, my wife is pretending to be asleep, which upsets me because I am the one that usually pretends to be asleep. So by the time I get everyone back in the beds, I am wide awake, and I still never made it to the bathroom.

So it looks like Cooper, the new puppy, could be a sleuth and find all the missing (empty) pineapple cans. This morning he made a bunch of noise and pulled out a spoon and pineapple can lid from underneath the bathroom fixture.
Next I am going to have him smell an empty can and then I will show him pictures of my two kids and then have him smell the pictures. I will have sprinkled pineapple juice on the photos so he associates the kids with the juice. Then I will set the kids up and buy a dozen more cans and if Cooper comes through we may add Holmes to his last name.

Ok, so we have a problem with the puppy. This is my wife’s dog, but the dog clearly likes me more. See, I was a dog in many past lives so I know dogs and I can act like a dog, so naturally dogs like me. So this means I am now sleeping with the dog.
Figures.

So it has gotten to the point that I now have to wear thick shoes, and only wear work gloves when I approach the new puppy. By the way, the new puppy’s name is Cooper. I will start to play with him and immediately beg him to stop chewing on me. It is tough when you lift your arm up to get your hand away from him only to see Cooper hanging in the air attached to my two middle fingers. Now I am starting to have nightmares of being in a haunted house and seeing a grown up version of him first licking his lips and then coming after me. Remember the movie Jaws where the captain of the boat is eaten, well in my dream, it is done very slowly. I know this will pass and eventually his teeth will round off a bit. Hey what if I took rocks and rolled them in hamburger, maybe that would dull those teeth down. Then again, If my wife caught me doing that, I might be finding pebbles in my tooth paste.
Hey folks, the prices of the goods we buy have skyrocketed. Some food items like bacon, frying oil and hash browns have nearly doubled. Also the hourly wage of everyone in the kitchen has gone up as well. I was going to raise prices but I am hesitant because I am hoping some of these prices will come down. So I have decided to reduce the email discount by 5%. So, on the weekdays it will be 10% and on the weekends it will be 5%. I apologize but this is the simplest way of dealing with this until we know what is in the future.
Thank you.
Also, someone approached me about collecting jackets for children of Afghan refugees. So I have a box in all 3 restaurants. If you have some old jackets even if they are adult size, please bring them in. They sure will appreciate it.
