Well it started out washing our new Ford. Then off to the shop to help my husband get ready to install the rack and boxes on said truck. After about an hour of positioning and tightening and taking loose all the bolts we were ready to put the rack on the truck. I back it it, we try and place this rack on the bed of the truck, no go..
So we try again , still a no go.

So now we get creative....

We get his 3/4 ton jack out, a 55 gallon drum and various blocks of all sizes, oh and a welding table. I back the truck up again, hitting my husband in the stomach with the tailgate. We maneuver this rack around, stopping long enough to discuss our next strategy. I pull the truck out of the shop, back in once again, this time husband is no where near the truck. (see reason above) We go at this again, so far this rack is winning, finally we get it on the bed of the truck, So 2 very treacherous hours later, SUCCESS!! it's on. And today, we put the boxes on. Man his truck is stylin' now, puppies included, who btw are very happy to have their ride back.

Isn't it great when YOU WIN? lol
I love the Beware Of Dogs on the back of the truck.
They look like they'd lick you to death! lol
But, then again, they'd probably protect Dad's truck!

We have those on there, because they are "watch dogs" and they "watch" the truck. We had some guy almost cry cause he got to close our old truck and Bella snapped at him. He told us "she wasn't allowed at the gas station anymore."So now we put her in a hat and sunglasses when we go to the gas station....LOL The signs were clearly visible, but he was to busy yacking and trying to sound important to his buddies to pay heed to the signs.

I really don't find your comment funny in the least. I have been scared half to death by dogs suddenly jumping on the side of a vehicle where I happen to be walking. People in public places should be able to go about their business without getting snapped at (by dog or human).
