“Yep, I’m positive. This is what the guy at the hardware store told me to use for this fountain.”
“Well, if he said so. Have you got it all hooked up?”
“Yep. It’s all set. All we need to do is turn it on.”
As this intrepid DIY-duo fired up the fountain, it hummed, then rumbled with a gurgle and a sputtering, spit, spit, spit…drip.
“Um… Maybe we need a second opinion?”
“From the hardware store guy?”
“ No…from a urologist!”

I’m glad you enjoyed it Rochelle! I admit I was struggling to come up with a story for that photo. So I slept on it and next morning it came to me! This is such a good exercise. Thank you for hosting it each week! 😊
