Rubber Baby Beeper Bumpers!!


Ya know, I can't even remember the joke that went with that punchline but Sara called it; Beep has on beeper bumpers to protect her feet!

Here's a close up of my handiwork which I'm proud to say, has lasted an entire 30 hours so far. Even better Beep is walking just fine.

She doesn't seem to mind her padded feet which is amazing. I was betting she'd fling off her silver shoes in minutes or worse, slip on the snow.

Joe offered to make a studded bottom out of a thin sheet of plywood with little studs, but she seems to be getting decent grip.

Time to go hit the snow on Oscar. We'll go cross country today, maybe try to find that dern fox that keeps taunting Gabby.

Cheers and here's to a peaceful 2008.

Thank heavens no founder!~
And now she has cute little shoosies on her tiny little feetsies.
Did you think about shiny BLACK tape? They'd look like tiny little "Mary Janes" (The name for Black patent leather Sunday dress-up shoes when I was little- once I was out of the brown leather lace-up corrective models I was forced to wear year after year.)
Isn't Oscar jealous?

What a great idea! I can make the next version Mary Jane's. Beep will be stylin out there in the paddock!

And about tongue-twisters such as "rubber baby buggy bumpers" - here's another
"A skunk sat on a stump and
the stump thunk the skunk stunk,
but the skunk thunk the stump stunk."
About sixty years ago, my sister and I drove our parents crazy for three days in the car saying "Rubber baby buggy bumpers" and "The skunk sat on a stump" and a few others and giggling like mad coming back to Philly from vacation in Green Lake, Wisconsin.
There's another I'm trying to remember but my brain is melting in all this unseasonable Florida heat (84 degrees today - come on DOWN!)

I stepped under the air conditioner vent to cool my head off and suddenly I remembred:
"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?"
AND
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"
AND
"A big black bug bit a big black bear,
made the big black bear bleed blood."
AND
"One smart fellow, he felt smart.
Two smart fellows, they felt smart.
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart." We ALWAYS messed this one up and got hysterical.
But oh no! That wasn't all - there was
"I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit."Guaranteed to provide forbidden words and get my father glancing back at us in his rear view mirror pretending to be offended with his lips pursed but a tell-tale twinkle in his eyes. But we couldn't stop if we tried.
How much wood COULD a woodchuck chuck, anyway?
