Happy Stinky Anniversary
Today is my wedding anniversary. My wife and I will be celebrating with a romantic dinner this weekend.
This morning, all smiles and optimistic, I let the dog out. A couple of seconds later, I heard her yelping and barking like mad. I ran out and discovered she'd found a small skunk and was trying to attack it.

I'm not sure how I smell right now. I'm waiting for my office co-workers to show up, to see how they react....
Nothing like a romantic start to your anniversary day. <grumble>Stupid dog.</grumble>
