Hi, Everyone,
Molly the Collie here,
Our house has been invaded by poltergeists, and I had to work extra hard to take care of them. First was the stove. It started whistling. Then it began to warble. My human called a stove repair person who said the clock needed to be replaced. And he ordered the part. But I knew it was really a poltergeist. My human called Tom to tell him about the clock, and the poltergeist switched from whistling and warbling to clicking and knocking. I tried to read up about poltergeists on the internet. Then it switched back to whistling. It started out quiet and ended up shrieking so loudly that it hurt my sensitive ears.
The stove repair guy, who's name is Dave has a good appreciation of noble dogs like me. He said that he ordered the part and could install it in a few days. But I knew it was really a poltergeist.
That's when the poltergeist called his cousin Dudley who took up residence in the computer. The computer sounded like my dog cousin Astro digs for gophers and the rocks and dirt hit a metal sheet. So you just know it had to be a polergeist. But my human thought it was the fan in the computer, so she went to Staples and bought a new computer.
Meanwhile, I found out how to scare poltergeists away. It's a complicated combination of barking and growling and howling. It took me a few days to master it. But I finally succeeded and the stove stopped making noises. It happened at the same time that Dave, the stove repair guy, replaced the clock in the stove, so my human thinks the problem was the clock and not a poltergeist.
As for Dudley, the poltergeist cousin, to the best of my knowledge, he's living at Staples in the document shredder section. And those machines are supposed to be making noises like rocks and dirt falling against metal.
It's good to be back on line.
Molly
