A Stray at the Races

Here’s the lineup for the fourth race at Hollywood Bark. Bury That Bone is on the inside, followed by Hydrant Go Seek, Stop Doing That To My Leg, Midnight Collar, Leash Resistance, I’m Serious Stop Doing That, Suppertime Blues, Ken-L Racer, and at forty to one, Look I’m Not Telling You Again It’s Creeping Me Out.

And here’s a late substitution: That Itch in That Place You Can’t Reach has been scratched, and instead jockey “Peewee” Martinez will ride Labridoodle Dandy…

    NOMTOM,

    Will you MARRY me?

    (pretty please with sugar on top)

    brilliant post as ever…!

    I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed this hard so early in the morning! Pure vintage NOMTOM. Thank you, sir – I needed that. :)

    Oh, and the doglet is almost too cute to bear (“Dear God, what on earth are my hoomans doing to me now?!”).

      Yes, the poor, sweet doggie does have a rather long-suffering expression! And yes, this post is classic NTMTOM…I’m going to be replaying those names in my head all day! (And getting wary glances from people as I laugh at seemingly nothing!)

    Love the names!!! Especialy «I’m Serious Stop Doing That» and «Look I’m Not Telling You Again It’s Creeping Me Out».

    NTMTOM I would love to take a tour of your brain, I could bring a picnic. What do you say?

      This is my personal favorite: <<And here’s a late substitution: That Itch in That Place You Can’t Reach has been scratched<<

      I think guided tours of NTMTOM's brain would be awesome!!!

    And NTMTOM does it agin! Is the coffee table book still in the works?
    Poor,doggy! I know you are so long-suffering! You are very cute, even without that ridiculouly silly funny passenger that somebody with too much time on their hands created just for you, and to give us fits of giggles before our morning coffee!

    Three Things:

    1 – *groan* (you’re a punning linguist, NTMTOM)

    2 – shaggiest racin-puppeh I’ve ever seen :)

    3 – I like Labridoodle Dandy’s goth eyeliner

    And NTMTOM wins the Ken-yucksy Derby!

    (Now where’s my mint julep?)

  12. Nikki says:

    I apologize for my double post–for some reason when I post from my iphone it automatically posts twice. :(

  13. Emmm says:

    Hilarious, NTMTOM. I think CO ought to be broadcast on electronic billboards ’round the world: a peace initiative with a high probability of working.

    Labradoodle is not amused.

    NTMTOM you are a brilliant writer! Very funny and creative. Love your posts!

  16. Rachael says:

    Add labradoodle (also cockapoo, golden doodle and maltipoo) to my list of “must have” breeds.

  17. mctwin says:

    NTMTOM, I truly adore your twisted and punny sense of humor! Adopt me, please? I don’t eat much and I’ll have my Social Security check in twenty-plus years! ;)

    “scratched,” heh
