This week’s Hugs & Slugs offerings from the Nelson area

A big stinky slug to the woman who accused my dog of having kennel cough on the rail trail.

SLUGS. We recently moved to this community and there are many things to give hugs to, however, I would like to give a great big slug to the person who put a great big ding and scratch in my car in the Safeway parking lot a week ago (you know the cute little black HHR). Of course when I came out of the store no one was there to own up to it or take responsibility. The last time this happened it cost me $3,000, I can only imagine what the price tag will be this time and we all know it is not ever advisable in this day and age to put in an insurance claim. I guess taking ownership of our errors in life belongs to an age gone by, so thanks again and I hope YOU are having a great life!

 

Slugs. To the person take took my golf clubs on the corner of Hall and Robson while I went back in the house to finish my coffee. Hugs to the person that returns them to where you found them no questions asked at 250-352-4544.

 

SLUGS. Giant Slippery, slimy, slugs to the woman driving the dull yellow Echo on October 4 at 8 a.m. at the boat launch in Kokanee Creek Provincial Park filling the garbage bin and recycling bin with your personal garbage and then went for a walk on the beach. You do know there are actual dumps and recycling depots in the area. It is people like you that will cause the closure of the park during the off-season. To you and many other people that use the park for their personal garbage. STOP IT ALREADY!  Be a responsible citizen.

 

SLUGS. A big stinky slug to the woman who accused my dog of having kennel cough on the rail trail. I am a very responsible dog owner, evidenced by the leash, poop bags and morning walk. My dogs get regular check-ups and always have up to date vaccinations. Next time, don’t be so presumptuous. Or better yet, mind your own business!

 

HUGS. Thank you to the Nelson Star for plugging my parking meter when I was late. What a great surprise and no parking ticket!

 

HUGS. Thank you to the Ross and the mechanics at Nelson Toyota for fitting us in and taking care of our Pilot while we visited town on the Thanksgiving long weekend.

 

SLUGS. Great big slimy slugs in the mouths of dog owners who allow their dogs to defecate in other peoples yards. Especially around the 500 and 600 block of Mill Street. You know who you are and you know it’s illegal and anti-social. Our children would like to be able to play on the grass without us having to check it first for your dog’s feces. If you can’t pick up after your pooch then you shouldn’t have one.

 

SLUGS. To the white Mitsubishi driver who put their parking ticket on my windshield last week with the hope that I would pay their fine. Shame on you, I caught it but someone else may not have!

 

Hugs. To the lady who gave us a rose in a swan vase. What a wonderful random act of kindness and very thoughtful, sorry we didn’t get your name.

 

HUGS. To our Nelson family for a great Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday night. You guys rock!
