National emergency

You might want to sit down if you aren't already seated. I have some bad news to share. You see, my refrigerator is broken. Last night, I noticed that it was making odd noises. This morning, the kitchen floor was soaking wet. Everything in the freezer was melting or thawing. It would all have to be thrown away. "Leggo my Eggo, you cruel thawing grip!" I exclaimed with horror. But the waffles were gone, as was the glorious frozen chicken. The ice cream, too, was lost forever, leaving its milky residue on the hard tile floor. Naturally, I helped clean this up. In times of need, we must all pitch in -- even high-ranking ayatollahs.

Because of this national emergency, I have raised the Pug Life alert level to Red, or "really expensive." I don't even want to think about what effect this will have on my standoff with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Thanks for letting us know. You are such a fearless leader!

Tollah, with every hurricane here we loose all our goodies in the fridge. But be assured that the Red Cross will give you those little military ration meals that come in a bag/box thingy. Your campers will have something to complain about if you get these for them.

So sorry to hear about your fridge! May it rest in peace. Thank you for keeping the faith so strong Oh Great One.

Cheers,

Pyrite

Thank you all for your support in these trying times. What began with the freezer has spread to the refrigerator as well. It is all gone -- all that glorious food. Such a pity. The campers are out foraging for berries at this very instant. Pray for us.

Mugsy, have you had enough donations yet to replace the refrigerator? Isn't it a good thing that rawhide isn't perishable?

Ayatollah Mugsy said...

I was able to scrape together enough money from my puggybank to fix the refrigerator, Eagle. I thank Allah every day for the miracle of rawhide.
