It may have taken me some time to get to this subject but believe me when I say it’s a dilly!
Snack bags are a total nightmare to open! You try with all your might to pull the seal apart and then it tears on the side and all the chips fall out. Then you run around the kitchen trying to pick them up before the dogs have swallowed a handful each.
If the snack has onion, the panic sets in because dogs can’t have onion so you rush to the internet to see what to do. Inevitably a visit to the vet is arranged and that $3.00 bag of chips just cost you $60.
In the old days we got peanuts on a plane. I loved that! It was worth the struggle to split the pack. Now the fear of peanut allergies has taken away that little pleasure and we get salty cracker assortments instead.
The good news is that sometimes you can get extras and keep them in your car for those days when you are starving and forgot to stop to eat. Hopefully they aren’t crushed in your suitcase before you get home.
Now we move on to blister packs. Most of our OTC meds come in those and you have to punch out the pill from the card.
If you’re sick and not very strong, you either wind up crushing the pill trying to get it out or you use a scissor or knife to break the stupid thing. When you finally get it, you discover the dose is for two and do it all over again. At this point you’re exhausted.
This may not seem like much to some but when I’m sick, I’m cranky! I don’t want to fight with my meds which brings up the dog issue again because sometimes they just pop out and fall on the floor anyway.
I need glasses so looking for them before the pups find them is challenging and I feel like crap anyway. Luckily, I have adjusted for the most part.
