Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 19, 2023

That plugger doesn’t have a dog in the house. If he did the chip would already be gone.

I think I’ll take up yoga.

The 5 second rule is null and void when you have a 2 second dog.

This is why doggies always on four legs.

It’s as if Rick McKee has a spy cam at our house. Knee bends are now knee crinkles.

Takes longer to straighten back up.

10 seconds to bend down and at least that to straighten back up!golden years- phooy!

Not Yet … Thank-You ! Go for a walk every day and that will help that back out ;-)

I have a grabber reacher tool in most rooms of my house, in my garage, and even in my car. The grabber model I have not only has the grabber claws, but a hook for catching wires and cables, but also a small magnet. Very handy.

If it’s your food at your house you can make it as many seconds (or minutes or whatever) you want (especially if no one else is around). [Make your own house rules.]

Squat/stoop don’t bend as it’s easier and less noises emitted in the process.

At our age, we don’t care about a few germs anyway. We practically ate dirt as kids; we probably have germs in us that can beat up any germs we eat now. ;)

I am that plugger.

Pringles chip, don’t bother.

Getting back up with the booty is the problem. To make it worth the effort it helps to throw a few more things down there, a $10.00 bill will do in most cases.

More like twenty seconds…

I’m about 50% plugger, give or take. I can touch the floor with both of my palms.. mind I’ve always been too flexible.

Actually getting down to the floor isn’t so hard for me. Getting back up, on the other hand…

Years ago, when I had my Huskies ….. I would grill up steaks and one time had a couple of friends over ….. we ate on the kitchen counter ….. one of them sat at the end and when he grabbed his steak it slipped off the plate ….. right on the dog dish, full of dry dog food ….. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself ….. but he got off the stool and bent down, grabs that steak ….. literally from the jaws of the Huskies …………. rinsed it off and ate it ….. I think that the Huskies were shocked and wondered …….. how they let that happened ……. :)

I still have enough flex for a gravity-assist bend down. It’s fighting gravity on the way up that amuses everybody else. Crowbars and engine hoists are frequently mentioned by the humor-impaired.
