My Sissy had an "epic status" on Facebook yesterday. The "epicness" came from how one of her friends and I completely hijacked all the comments, and even got a few others to play along. As it turns out though, one of my comments was about shiner minnows. And in discussing this status with her after the fact I told her how her doggy nephew "Shiner" is named after these minnows.
Both of our dogs have fishing and drinking themes to their names. Rascal Jack is named after a fishing boat in Hawaii named "The Rascal", and Jack Daniels. Shiner Bock is named after the aforementioned minnow, and a delcious beer brewed in Texas. I told my sister that we will forever have to name our dogs after fishing and drinking. We eventually started laughing about where these names would lead and decided that sooner or later Hot Hubby and I'd run out of ideas and we'd end with a dog named "Boat Beer".
Then, because my sissy and I are quite funny, our giggles turned into us concocting a story about Brian and I being on our deathbed and rewriting our will so that my niece (my sissy's stepdaughter, The Artist) would end up with Boat Beer. And we'd will her a lifetime supply of milk bones to keep Boat Beer happy. And she'd have to love Boat Beer even though he will be slobbery. And her friends would extend their sympathies for our passing, but she'd be a wee bit fussy that we left her with a slobbery, snuggly, huge dog named Boat Beer.
Oh, how my sissy can make me laugh! A laugh that I think she definitely needed. And I'm thankful for our laughter together.
