Madison T. Dog here again. Mom’s laughing too hard to type. She was cleaning out Beebe’s closet upstairs and found her clown wig. My Nannie used to be a clown.
She went to Clown College when she was in her mid-70’s so she could entertain the old people. She talked in a funny voice, painted faces, and once got stopped by the cops on the way to a performance. (She was dressed in her clown outfit at the time.)
All the reminiscing. It was such fun. And then Mom leaned over with the wig and before I knew what was happening I was blond and curly!
I’m hoping I get an extra scoop of kibble for this.
Could I please remind readers that I am a BOY dog. Is there a union representative I should be talking with?
Whatever you do, do NOT under any circumstances tell the squirrels in the back yard. I would never be able to live it down. I’m just grateful they have dial-up and won’t wait until all the pictures load.
Madison, like President Madison, not Dolly.

I love the way pets look at us, when we make them look so silly. At Christmas our bulldogs where Santa with a hat and beard and the other an elf. Very disgusted looking in that photo.

Well Madison, I thought that the wig made you look quite dignified. Much like a member of Parliament or a judge. With that kind of authority the squirrels would think twice about laughing at you. Just tell them that you are “Sir Madison”.

Isn’t it shameful what we (lovingly) put out dogs through? I’ve got three at home and they practically turn tail and run when I approach them with wigs, collars, masks, headbands, etc., etc. All in good fun. And, yes, they do get extra goodies for putting up with such human silliness.

It’s ok Madison. President Madison wore a long curly blond wig when out on official business also, so you can tell those snippy squirrels that you were dressing up as the President. LOL Bonnie

Lord Madison … the squirrels have much to fear of you. In fact, because you look so very dignified — as every English barrister and justice does — they should be more appropriately fearful of your new found power.
The pictures of Beebe that you shared were marvelous. What sweet, sweet memories.

Ami,
Once again you and your wonderful sidekick Madison have brought joy to your readers. How like your mother you are. She went to Clown College in her 70s to bring joy to the elderly, while you are here making us laugh with your memories. Through the tears is coming laughter. The pictures are wonderful and your memories are precious.
Madison, you are a good boy to let Mom do that to you. I hope you got that extra kibble. You deserve it!
God bless. Rosemarie

Ohhhhh Madison….. You are way too much. My mom read all previous 27 comments after your post. She’sstill laughing. What a “clown” you are. Will you always be clowning around???? Please tell your mom that if she writes a book about you, a lot of quilters and even non-quilters would buy it. Fondly, “Mouser”, the cat.
PS, HeHe Actually I don’t like mice. I came to live with Mom, but she couldn’t figure out where I lived before. I’m glad Mom likes cats. Dad had caught a mouse and gave it to me. YUK!! Me, eat a mouse?? More YUK. I guess that’s why she named Me Mouser
