What have you hauled in your Volvo?

I think it was the beginning of March when I went to Dallas in my 95 854 and picked up six 60-inch 4K TVs with a box of wall mounts. On top of that, there was a bunch of bubble wrap and stuffing all around. I also had both my dogs in the car. Then I stopped at Aldi and Walmart for a few groceries. Little 20 pound Hans was all by his lonesome in the back for part of the ride and Rose my Aussie hung out on the front passenger seat. Hans finished out the ride sitting with Rose.

I started reading your post quickly and saw you had dogs with you and got groceries and misread as "20 pound HAM". I thought your dogs ate the HAM!
Fortunately that is not what happened.

For real I'm LOL! But I've got something just as funny! What did I haul in my Volvo one week ago?

I went and picked up my Granny from Canton TX. She had some luggage and a whole 50LB bag of onions. We stopped along the highway to take pictures of the blue bonnets. I took pics of my dogs sitting in them. Then I harvested a few blue bonnets. Then we stopped at the store. I got a whole month of groceries. Granny got a few groceries including 3 pizzas.

What's not as bad as a 20LB ham? What's still a no-no? A 16" pepperoni pizza. Rose got into it and ate 85% of it and Hans ate 5% of it. Rose needed an unusual nighttime potty session after that. She pooped a lot of pizza-colored poop for 2 days. Hans had a couple pizza-colored turds too.

Neither dog wanted to eat their normal meal the next day.

TMI in that last paragraph...

That is a really, really funny true story!
This last week I read about a sled dog (the Alaska mushing sled type dog), who tore into the dog sled teams food supply on the sled and ate 10 pounds of chicken skins and then grinned at the sled team person. The dog had to be shipped home because he was too full to run!
That may have been why I thought your dogs had ate a ham.

just the mention of chicken skin makes me want to puke because it smells nasty. But that story is absolutely hilarious.
