This week we had the pleasure of hosting Douglas the Dragon who is visiting from Allison’s in Texas. I must say, I was a bit leery about having a real, fire breathing dragon in the house but Douglas was a wonderful guest…once he got the fire breathing bit out of his system.
He was immediately fixated with my new stove. And while the repair man was here trying to get the one burners to ignite, Douglas offered to give him a hand…
If only I had known Douglas would get that burner going I wouldn’t have called the repair man!
Once he started breathing fire he got a hankering to start a major conflagration. I told him that wouldn’t be such a good idea but that we would go practice on some old, abandoned buildings so he could get it out of his system.
As we were walking through the park he shrieked, “Holy heck, that looks like a castle! I want to burn it down!” It was actually a church and I explained that he’d surely burn in Hell if he ignited it. He insisted that I, at least, get a picture of him ‘pretend’ fire breathing so he could show it to all his dragon friends…who’d think he was exceptionally cool for igniting a castle.
Unbeknownst to me, my daughter snuck Douglas to school one day. She had a devious plan to use him to destroy the school.
Luckily, I pulled up just in time. She is now grounded. I decided to take Douglas to the Acupuncturist for a treatment. I thought he’d better get calmed down before his short journey to Trisha’s. He was a bit worried about having needles stuck into him but I assured him he wouldn’t feel a thing.
He said he really enjoyed it. He was so relaxed after his treatment I felt bad shoving him into his box and shipping him off. Have a good time with Douglas, Trisha! Don’t burn the town down!
Two Lazy Dogs 
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
burning shit up !!! I LOVED the school picture and your daughter smiling cracked me up!!!
Ok this was funny! LOL you didn’t leave a needle in his box did you? 🙂
Yeah, you can imagine her joy when I agreed to let her do that.
No, no needles in the box. They had to be disposed of – what with hazardous medical waste and all that! Hahaha!
Douglas is so cute! Kinda a trouble maker but cute! OMG, acupuncture! You are a nut- I love that about you!
He is cute…in a fire-breathing sorta way. Ha. You know me. Certifiable!
Your picture skills are about to top mine.
Wait, maybe they already did…
Um, no way. All I did was add some fire, B5. No one will ever come close to the fabulousness of you!
Such a great story!!! Loved the Fire very cool. And the acupuncture, so Funny! I didn’t know you were certified. Douglas does really grow on you even if he is a little pyro. Wonderful .
Thanks, Starla.
I’m not certified (certifiable, yes)…my friend is an acupuncturist and I went to have a treatment and thought it would be a hoot if we did Douglas, too. He was nice enough to waste needles on a stuffed animal! Gotta love that!
I’m surprised he didn’t pull out his “bling” and want to play “lil-d”.
He was too busy playing with fire!!
Uh, oh… good thing I have insurance on that old house of mine!
OH, I KNOW!! Douglas can use his fire-breathing skills on my burn barrel! Out in the country we burn all the old paper rather than leaving it for garbage pick up so I will be sure to fill it all the way up for him!
You are one nutty, funny, brilliant woman, 2LD!! GAWD! I love ya!
Oh, Trisha, Douglas would love to ignite your burn barrel! (eek, that sounds kinda dirty, doesn’t it?) Mwhahahaha!
Glad you like my nutty stories. Love you, too, T!! 😉
Def love the little dragon. Such a cutie 🙂
Very cute, indeed. Everyone should have their own fire-breathing dragon!
OMG!!! After raising two boys who loved matches, I thought these days were over. I’ll have to keep my eyes on everything when he comes to town. The acupuncture is keeeling me!!! LMAO!!!
Ha. Douglas don’t need no stinking matches. Yes, beware of the flame thrower!. The acupuncture was an added bonus. Heehee. I never expected the doc to play along with me.
I’ve almost answered yet to that hazardous question they ask at the post office. You could say ..well he is prone to starting fires for Douglas.
Hahaha. I know. The guy at the post office was wondering why I was giggling when he asked that question. I had to be careful, I thought he may want to open the package and check!
Okay! That was nice. I take something for that. Maybe he could use some of it for that heartburn.
Ha. Good idea. He never complained about heartburn, though. I think he’s used to the ‘burn’!
How do you begin to ask what kind of insurance the post office offers for fire breathers lol. I love that the school almost got it.
Exactly. We had to keep it hush-hush that we were mailing a fire-breather. Ha!
My daughter loved the fact that she could use him to burn the school. Naughty child. 😉
