I forgot to mention this. The other day, our front door bell rang just as I was finishing up in the kitchen (or starting, I can’t remember). I had on my sweatpants, t-shirt and my socks. I think there were two or three salesmen of some sort at our door, but I never got to find out because Cooper ran out of the house to greet them, then promptly took off down the block.
I chased after him in my stockinged feet. He stopped half way down the block to greet another couple with a dog and took off again before I could coral him. Off to the end of the block he went. He stopped to pee in the spot he usually does when I take him for a walk. That’s when I nabbed him. Bad dog.
I got back to our front door with Cooper and one young salesguy was still standing at our door. He was smiling and I when I got within 20 feet of him I yelled something like “Whatever you’re selling just get away.” Then I finished it off with “Thanks for nothing.” as I slammed the door behind me.
Needless to say, they didn’t make their sale, and I’ll never know what they were pushing.
The Mormons are out and about down here…maybe they were your visitors.
Black pants, white shirts, ties, backpacks, bikes…sound familiar?
Did I mention anything about white shirts, ties, backpacks, bikes? These guys certainly didn’t match that profile. I figure they were either pushing politics or religion and I had a dog to chase after. Cooper still hasn’t learned to sit and stay at crosswalks, as much as I try to train him when we go out for our walks. One day.
*LOL* i was wondering when that was going to happen. aaaaaah the joys of having a doggy.
Oh, Cooper has run out the front door once before. Then I had to chase him in my bare feet in shorts. I was a little more clothed this time. And I caught him in about the same spot. Peeing is his weakness.
I was merely inquiring if they might be Mormons since I knew they’re starting their missionary work for the summer.
This is the time when swallows come back to Capistrano, too, and I didn’t think they were birds either. We get many more Jehovah Witnesses than we do Mormons in the NYC area. It think Mormons must be a southern thing. In fact, I’ve never seen a Mormon in my life. At least not that I know of. I’ve seen plenty of guys in white shirts, ties, carrying backpacks, but never riding bicycles. NY is not a very bicycle-friendly town.
They weren’t mormons – they were probably some high school kids doing an end-of-year fundraiser. They had clipboards in their hands, not bibles. And they were dressed in shorts and t-shirts. Definitely not mormons.
