Why you need a back-up mask!!!

Post by Jack_Russel_Fan » Mon Apr 14, 2014 7:20 am

Early this morning I had a vivid dream about a monster dog like creature who attacked me and latched on to my face. He would not let go! I drew back and smacked the daylights out of him to get him off!

I suddenly awoke finding I knocked the elbow off my mask and had to get up and reassemble the anti valve and and elbow to my mask.

My back-up mask was out because one of the dogs, who sleep with me, had caught my hose jumping off the bed and jerked the elbow off. I could not find the valve membrane. Maybe one of the dogs ate it!

I just finished ordering the parts.

I have decided to name this creature "The Mask Monster" in case he visits me again.

Love your Jacks!

My chihuahuas and Pom have left mine alone....guess I'm blessed!! I have learned, however, to leave my spare mask ready in my nightstand drawer!

Forgot to say I'm adopting a boy and girl Siamese kittens next month when they are old enough to leave their Mom. I imagine it will be a challenge to keep them from attacking anything!

Teach them that wonderful word 'no'. Cats can be trained too. As a kitten is the time to start.
