ReplyDeleteGreat six, but please don't hit it with a hammer. Good image and poem too. Thank you to all K9s who helped in all wars.
ReplyDeleteFun story. Who hasn't thought about hitting their TV or their computer or their telephone with a hammer. Love the fence and wasn't that nice that they put such a beautiful spring wreath on it.

ReplyDelete*lol
Haha, technology can really be a pain sometimes! I love the humor in this exchange – it's always good to laugh at the little frustrations. Here's hoping the website cooperates soon!
