Last night, my wife and I went out for Mexican food. I had a couple margaritas. On the way home, with her driving, I just happened to glance at the screen of her in-dash monitor that was displaying a split-screen of the map on the right, and the Bluetooth auto phone number list on the left. The first number on the phone list was ‘Home’.
And then it hit me. Sitting at home, hopefully not getting into any trouble, were our dog, Shiloh, and my wife’s aunt and uncle’s dog, Riley, patiently waiting for us to come back.
And it struck me that it would be pretty funny to call the house phone and use the answering machine to leave them a message… which they would be able to hear live as it recorded.
I mean, think of how you could mess with your dog.
“Come!”
“Who want’s peanut butter?”
“Sit!”
“Let’s go for a walk, who want’s to go for a walk?”
“Good dog! Let’s get you a treat.”
That would be worth getting one of those security video cameras installed just to see what the dogs would be doing…
I didn’t really end up doing it. It would be mean. But it is still kind of a funny idea.
Pouring My Art Out 
Not that I would ever do something so mean you understand… but… if someone were to do something so mean… and also hilarious… wellllll it might just result in the dog chewing up the phone… not that I’d ever do anything like that of course, so it’s all just ummmm theoretical and such.
When I am away from home, I have my wife or daughter put the phone of speaker and talk to the dog. She looks, or so I hear, interested for about 3 seconds, then ignores me.
Haha… not thrilled with the voice if you’re away?
they need to smell you to know you are real.
Sounds like a guy I know… hmmm
uh…………..
When he hugs me he sniffs my hair
oh
I don’t know who, but someone did leave a message in my voicemail asking me to sit, give a paw, roll over and play dead.
That is because I already have cameras set up in your house… uh… I mean… ummmm….
You should have done it. (That’s all I got.)
Maybe next time.
Get the nanny cam set up first though.
right
We’ve done that before…and I had Mexican last night, too 🙂
simpatico
Yep! And my mom drinks that coffee!
ha
LOL I’m imagining this now! It’s almost worth setting up a nanny-cam so you could witness the chaos!
that’s what I said… only I forgot to call it a nanny cam, dang it.
What if you happened to interrupt a romantic doggie dinner for two???
well I did feed them before we left…
Now the idea is out there. Someone is going to do it, just wait. And they’ll blame you.
I have crazy person immunity
See, you actually have to follow through for it to be considered drunk dialing. There is no category (or points) for thinking about drunk dialing.
There should be extra points for not actually doing stupid or mean stuff when drunk.
True, it can definitely sometimes be the harder path to follow.
exactly…
