Rockin' Out The Barkin'

Rockin' Out The Barkin'

Blue Tooth Patio Umbrella
versus
Four Barking Dogs Next Door
~~~
Battle is ON!
 
 
I love dogs, don't get me wrong, but, enough is enough.  My next door neighbors have FOUR beautiful dogs.  They bark nonstop several (many) times a day and that includes every time I walk out on the patio.
 
You know, I think I should be able to sit outside in the mornings and drink ONE cup of coffee without four dogs barking nonstop.  Finally, when my tolerance level has gone into over-drive,  I yell, at the top of my lungs, "SHUT UP" - they stop.  By this time, I am in a bad mood and don't even want my cup of coffee!
 
Just happened to be shopping for a new patio umbrella and the young man at the outdoor furniture place shows me a patio umbrella with blue tooth!  At first I reject the thought - I don't need blue tooth music in my umbrella.  Of course, it's a little more expensive.  But, wait a minute!  Maybe I do?  The price isn't that much more and I'd buy the umbrella if blue tooth wasn't attached.  It's the right size, color good, etc.  It fits what I am looking for!  Ring it up!  Sold!
 
Well, I love it.  The best thing so far is that when I started playing the radio the volume was so loud it shocked me.  I immediately scrambled to turn the volume down.  But, then, I noticed the four dogs next door had stopped barking.  Oh my!  Maybe I am going to win this battle yet.  Thank you Lord!
 
I think Bear, Bodie, Blackie, and PrettyOne might just love it too.  (I don't know their real names - this is what I call them.)  We might be friends afterall.
 
I love dogs, but, I don't love four dogs barking nonstop. So, for now, I guess I'll just entertain them, huh? Guess we will see how long it lasts! 
 
Rockin out the Barkin,
Gayla
