My 79 yr old Mom keeps calling every 15 min - Turn on the Puppy Thing!
Animal Planet, I guess.

Last conversation:

Me: Hello?
Mom: Turn on that puppy thing!
Me: Why?
Mom: There's this puppy with a brown ring around one eye, like on that little kids show.
Me: What little kids show?
Mom: The one you watched when you were little (I'm 55).
Me: Mom, I watched a lot of little kid shows when I was young.
Mom: NO! This one was called the little kids show.
Me: You mean the "Little Rascals?"
Mom: Yeah that's it. The dog looks like Spanky.
Me: You mean Petey.
Mom: Yeah, him too!

It's going to be a long night.

1. I adopted a dog named petey
She had a loop around one eye.

Lost my mom last month. I'd love to have one of those calls but I know what you mean.

3. OMG -- that's funny! The Puppy Thing.
Animal Planet isn't in my channel lineup, unfortunately. Keep us posted, though, on the conversations with your mom! :loveya:

5. I've watched it the last few years. That is enough.
Just tell her that they blocked it.
