Villlhelllm: How do You even Spell It?
If the house could talk: We have a fence!
Bonjour Villlhelllmians! Remember that story we shared about Dapper’s unexpected encounter with a skunk a couple of weeks ago? Well, if you haven’t heard it yet, buckle up, because it’s a tale that’s as amusing as it is motivating. And guess what? This little escapade has given us the nudge we needed to speed up our plans for a new addition to our property – a fence!
Picture this: a calm evening in Vilhelmia, Dapper was out exploring the yard. Suddenly, a notorious skunk! Now, we all know skunks are famous for their pungent defense mechanism, and alas, Dapper learned this the hard way.
The result? Let’s just say Dapper had a new “eau de skunk” fragrance that turned heads, or rather, noses, wherever he went. The story of his skunk encounter quickly spread through our little community, becoming the talk of our street and generating a symphony of laughter and sympathetic sighs.
But here’s the kicker: Dapper’s skunk adventure lit a fire under us to tackle a project we’ve been mulling over for some time – putting up a fence on the property. You see, we already had a beautiful fence lining one side of our abode, but we realized that extending this fence around the rest of the property would not only provide Dapper and Boujee with their very own play space but also ensure Dapper doesn’t have any more close encounters with our striped friends.
So, as you read this, the fence is standing tall! Let’s give a round of applause to Dapper – his skunk encounter might have been a tad smelly, but it’s spurred us into action and reminded us of the unpredictable joys of living in Vilhelmia.
Next time you see Dapper with his giggly butt and a twinkle in his eye, know that he’s a part of the story that prompted us to move a bit faster with our fence plans. And as we work on creating a safe and delightful space for our pets and ourselves, let’s also cherish the stories – both sweet and pungent – that make our community a vibrant tapestry of experiences. Here’s to Dapper, to fences, and to the adventures that inspire us to take action!
The Great Baby Name Quest: A Symphony of Laughter, Originality, and – How Do You Yell It In Jamaican?!
Our journey in search of a baby name just got a whole lot more colorful! Damian and I are knee-deep in the task of naming our upcoming baby, and let me tell you, it’s turning into a whimsical adventure filled with laughter, creativity, and a touch of Jamaican flair.
In our quest for a name that’s as unique as our little one, we’ve managed to assemble a list. But wait, there’s a hilarious twist to this tale that’s adding an extra layer of amusement to our name-seeking escapade. You see, Damian has an uncanny habit that’s become a delightful part of our baby naming process. Every time we come up with a potential name, Damian, with a mischievous glint in his eye, attempts to yell it out with a Jamaican accent. The result? A symphony of laughter that echoes through our home.
There’s something about hearing a name meant for the most innocent and precious member of our family being pronounced with an infectious Jamaican lilt that turns the decision-making process into an uproarious event. Picture Damian dramatically proclaiming names like “Seraphina” and “Aurelia” with an island twist – it’s like a scene straight out of a comedy show!
As you can imagine, this has brought a whole new layer of joy and hilarity to our baby naming adventure. We’ve found ourselves doubled over in laughter more times than we can count, envisioning a future where our daughter might be serenaded with her name in a way that’s utterly unique and, well, slightly unconventional.
Amidst the fits of giggles and the ever-expanding list of names, Damian’s secret favorite name will remain locked away, awaiting its grand reveal on the day our little one makes her grand entrance. The suspense is building, and it’s all we can do to keep from giving in to our curiosity!
What’s Inversion Therapy?
Over the past few years, I’ve experienced some light back pain. My doctor asked me about my exercise habits and how much time I spend sitting for work. He recommended that I see a chiropractor, who diagnosed me with a weak core and suggested that my prolonged sitting was contributing to my lower back pain.
So, it was time to exercise and stretch. As someone who loves gadgets, I discovered some great research about the benefits of inversion therapy. Let’s explore the many benefits of inversion therapy and how it can improve your overall well-being.
Step one is finding a machine that fits your lifestyle and budget. I found mine on Facebook Marketplace after a few weeks of searching and a bit of luck. The seller, a nice man who had been using his machine for a few years but no longer needed it, gave me a demonstration of how it worked and its pros and cons.
Inversion therapy has been a game-changer. It’s not an everyday thing, but it helps to decompress the discs and build core muscles. Hanging upside down like a vampire relieves pressure on the spine and increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain. It not only relieves back pain but also acts as a stress relief since you can’t be on your phone while upside down.
Why not give inversion therapy a try? Remember to “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”
Stay healthy, my friends!
Woof Woof! 🐾
Woof, woof, and a hearty butt giggle to all our fellow dog-loving pals out there! It’s Boujee and Dapper here, your friendly French bulldogs reporting for blogging duty. Now, let us give you the lowdown on what’s been happening in our doggy world since the Europeans bid adieu and headed back across the pond.
First things first – our house feels a little quieter these days. Yup, you guessed it. It’s not the same without the daily hustle and bustle of our favorite Europeans – Tete, Hanna, Karl and Charlie. Oh, how we miss those mornings when we could make a grand entrance into Tete’s and Hanna’s room, with our giggly butts to wake them up!
And let’s not forget about Kat’s dad! The man had the comfiest feet around, perfect for our lounging endeavors while he enjoyed his meals. But alas, our foot-pillow game has taken a hit. Same goes for Charlie, our belly rub extraordinaire, and Hana, the master of behind-the-ear pets. Oh, Prague, how you stole away our petting dream team!
Speaking of voices, there’s a void in the house where Tete’s signature commands used to echo. Remember her famous lines? “Dapper, sit!” and “Boujee, come!” Those words had us jumping to attention faster than you can say “treat.”
But hold on a sec – it’s not all doggy blues around here! We’ve got some serious happy moments to share too. Our humans, Damian and Kat, have been keeping us on our paws, quite literally. They make sure we’re showered with love, entertained with playtime, and treated with the occasional sneaky treat (shh, don’t tell Kat we know it’s sneaky!).
And guess what? Our smiles got a boost thanks to FaceTime calls with Karl and Hana. Seeing their faces on the screen brings back the sparkle in our eyes.
And guess what else? Boujee’s birthday is just around the corner – next week, to be precise! She’s been dreaming about cake slices and treats galore. Last year, Kat baked her a cake that was a doggy masterpiece, and Boujee secretly hopes for a repeat performance. Can you blame her? She’s the queen of the house, after all!
Until next time, keep those paws happy and giggle your butts, pals!
PS: this is us the day the Europeans left…😞
