My little Houdini got herself in a pickle today! She has this habit of sitting in whatever tight space may be accessible to her, such as buckets, boxes, suitcases, shelves, etc.
Today it was an old-tyme milk can!
I saw her squat down into it and didn't think anything of it. I even ran to grab my camera because it was so cute.
I took several pictures ~ then she tried to get back out of that can. It was NOT HAPPENING!!!
I schlepped her around the house in that milk can ~ tugging and pulling. I turned it over and grabbed up under her armpits and heaved. Nothing. She was getting real stressed out about it by now...
I decided to carry her to the kitchen and grease her down with vegetable oil.
Still nothing. She was seriously LODGED in that Milk can!!
I called my hunny at work for advice.
"What would you do in this situation?"
Greased her up a little more...
I'd about decided that we were gonna have to call 9-1-1 and cut that thing off her, when I gave it one last hurrah and POP! Out she came.
What a relief it was too!
The whole snafoo lasted about 10-15 minutes, but I am sure we'll be talking about it for some time!!

what an interesting life you lead!
I think she looks like her aunt nana... I gall darn gone and done it! I transferred some of my blogs over.
That is absolutely hilarious (looking back of course). You could have put her in the freezer. Don't things contract in there? I wonder how long that would have taken? =)
I wish I could fit in an old-tyme milk can... :)
Crys... just wait...
Aunt Nana, it's about time.
La, sometimes you're just 'not right!'
Ree, you're a nut! ;)
this is the cutest, scariest thing i think i've ever seen. how did you not break into a crying frenzy after 8 minutes of pulling and greasing and getting no where?!?!?!
i love the picture from above where she is being so patient. funny girl!
That is absolutely hilarious! And those pictures look professially staged! Big Bucks somewhere I'm sure!
Glad you got her out!
Snafoo? Could you tell us how to pronounce it and which language that was derived from. Thank you.
snafoo - 1.) made up word, derived from a WW2 mnemonic device SNAFU, meaning "situation normal all fouled up" 2.)situation similar to a pickle. 3.) a mess
Come on! KJ gets to use made up words and I don't??? ;)
Oh, I understood the word, don't get me wrong, just wanted everyone else to have the same opportunites and experiences we enjoy!
I'm adding it to my vocabulary. Feel free to use updation or sniggled or any of the other brilliant words that come out of these minds of ours! It just gives life a special zing. Don't you think? ;)
Anyway, I only asked so I could read your brilliant answer.
you just keep taking pictures....someday these will come in handy when its boyfriend time.
Isn't she so cute??
Remember this when she comes home with some unwanted boys!! :)
I think this is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen! I don't know if I would have burst into tears or laughter!
