? Vets If I send my wife a range card , do you think she will understand the dogs dug up lilac bush

As young infantry soldier we drew range card give it to plt sgt or the Lt I never knew where the range cards went was told they went up chain command to give em a pic of what’s up what’s in front of us well that was my army infantry 84-87 who knows if they do range cards today. And yes I was a shitty range card artist I mean wtf Impressionism or cubism yea not me.

So my point is my two out of four furry reprobates dug up lilac bush tore it apart we planted two years ago in thinking hey let’s play let’s be dogs and dig Duncan pup and yogi the newfie I got out shower sat on back porch and Duncan was dragging lilac bush around yard.

So my wife text how’s things I’ll be home from the office around 5 pm 17:00 should I try and find a two year old lilac bush to replant. Dogs and man will cruise around the sticks will dig one up steal it hello 911 yes there is this guy digging up our lilac bush ,or just email my wife range card pointing out they dug up lilac bush next to shed. I am not worried yet my wife will be pissed at the furry troopers for a bit as I say they’re part of the platoon I find humor really never take life to seriously.

When she gets home.

Although I would say another lilac bush is definitely in order, and no, you can’t have mine.

There was a dog presenting you with an unplanted lilac bush.

Sometimes, a problem can look like a solution.

Yes, dear, that lilac bush does look crooked, a bit bare, and the moss is growing on the south side of the trunk. Odd, isn't it? Lookl like something happened to it. Those young Marines we fed last weekend, what are the odds?
