Finally, here is the explanation to What Is This Man Doing #3. Please click on the link to see the original Picture.
The picture there and these pictures will make more sense and hopefully, help with the explanation.
The 'conversation' went like this:
The refrigerator is leaking.
How do you know?
Because there has been water on the floor around it.
How do you know it's from the refrigerator?
I don't think the stove walked across the kitchen and took a leak there?
How do you know it wasn't just some ice cubes that fell out and melted?
Because the last time you 'fixed' the refrigerator, the ice maker stopped working and there hasn't been any ice since then.
H-m-m-m.
Which repairman do you want me to call?
I'm not sure anything needs to be repaired. I haven't seen the leak.
What do you think these towels are doing on the floor around the refrigerator?
I hadn't noticed any towels.
If you haven't noticed 3 brightly colored beach towels, each the size of Rhode Island, how would you expect to notice a water leak on the floor?
What did you say?
I said I'm going to call a repairman.
Let me fix it.
The other last time you tried to fix something, I spent 3 weeks wringing out our clothes by hand and hoping the floor didn't rot and that the washing machine didn't fall through the floor into the living room.
Don't be so picky. Besides, I've never seen evidence of a leak.
How about evidence that the floor curls up around the refrigerator?
I thought it was supposed to be that way.
You're impossible.
Come on Junior and Buba. Let's look for that leak.
My new refrigerator will be delivered tomorrow.
*Why is Junior sitting on Hans? Junior sits on anyone who is on the floor, including Bubba.
Alpa-male, top dog, macho-pooch...he just does this.
Cushy seats are the best!!
That is too funny about the fridge. My fridge died on me in Balti...talk about a panic!!

Hi SW,
My solution to the leaking ice maker? I turned the water off, problem solved. Who's your top dog now?

Wow! Junior is a lot like my Funny Girl. If she catches me on the floor, she assumes that it's my way of telling her that it's time to "ride that horsey, go to town."
Looking at these pictures, I can't help but think of this analogy: Junior is to Hans as Bubba is to Swamwitch. Hmmmm.....I wonder.

I have to show the hubby. He loves boxers.
I've never seen one that is so cheeky (butt cheeky) before tho.

Sorry - I meant to type "Swampwitch." (I am a little obsessive compulsive when it comes to spelling.)

CLAUDIA: I think my refrigerator is a cat...it has stopped leaking and the ice maker is working again...Hans didn't do anything to it except look for the leak...go figure.
DI: Bubba and Junior have more than enough funny quirks...don't think it could be anything having to do with their owners.
BRIAN: Read my comment to Claudia above... Thanks for the advice. Will remember that the next time this happens, which I'm sure will be in the not-so-distant future. Junior is ALWAYS top dog.
SUSAN: I love it...I can't remember how many times I've gone back to post a correction. Seems like I always see them just as I click "log in and publish."....ooops!
PAMELA: Since we had them neutered, they lost all their muscle and gained about 7 pounds. But, they didn't lose that wonderful Boxer personality.
