canine capers

Jumping up and down

The puppy was excited

To go to the park

There’d be squirrels to annoy

And other dogs’ butts to sniff

My response to Charli Mills, Carrot Ranch .99 word Flash Fiction challenge this week. We had to talk about paint in some form or fashion. Be sure to follow Carrot Ranch to be apprised of future challenges! https://carrotranch.com

Yes, this is a true story and why I kept going back for bi-weekly torture for over a decade is beyond me!

I had never had my nails done professionally. But since I was now a female business executive, who did a lot of public speaking, it was suggested that I spruce up the ends of my fingers.

The nail tech was chatty and did a great job! We chose a bright shade of deep pink polish and everything was perfect.

She admonished me to use the side of my finger to open my car door, lest I break the new nails.

Sheepishly, I walked back into the salon a few minutes later. Smiling, she said, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

Hear Ye Hear Ye Think Tanka is NOW Available in Kindle

Posted on June 30, 2019 | 9 comments

That’s right, while the rest of you were enjoying your weekend, I was slaving over a wooly laptop, converting Think Tanka into Kindle format.

Okay, okay, so it wasn’t as arduous a task as I would have you believe but I am going for the sympathy support here….

Anyway, the Kindle has a slightly different cover (nothing earth shattering) and is priced different than the paperback. For a mere .99, you too can have Think Tanka delivered to your Kindle device forthwith!

Tanka you for your purchase, review and for sharing this splendid news. I am so excited that I need coffee to calm me down!

Remember, always Think Tanka.
