Nov 8

so, what I read was "I've been hooking up with this chipmunk that lives in the backyard". Naturally, I did the cartoon head shake and my immediate thoughts were, how is that possible? And, I know Duncanpup likes animals so that didn't happen. Then I re-read your post and it went from weird to cute.
That's what I get for having just awakened and started reading DU before my first cup of coffee here in So. Cal.
Then again, it's lucky for me I wasn't drinking coffee yet because I might have accidently spit it out, and it's so expensive I had to take out a 2nd on my house to buy it.
Anyway, good morning everybody and thanks for the laugh, Duncanpup. Y'all have a great weekend.
