THE ADVENTURES OF TEXTFROMDOG

Bringing you the online adventures of textfromdog by October Jones. You can find him on Facebook. He has discovered that his dog, "Dog", a bulldog, can text him. Each day we will share his texts with you. October's remarks are in green on the right side of the screen, Dog's are on the left.

TWEET TREATS

bringing you the quirky, funniest and most interesting tweets from Twitter that we came across.  

If old people don't want me to talk to them as if they're children they should stop being so cute and snuggly wuggly.                             @TomHanksIsHot 

DID YOU KNOW...?

That scent that lingers after a nice rain is called "petrichor." 

GARDEN UPDATE
Been getting flash flood warnings all day. The day started out without a cloud in the sky and now the day is overcast and the clouds are here. Maybe we will get some rain after all.

• Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"? 
• Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? 
• Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have an "s" in it? 
• If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?
