There is something about an ice cream cone that makes summer so much easier to deal with.
Feeling that cold ice cream melt over your fingers makes me chuckle.
When I lick the cone and it slides along on my tongue, I have to smile. An ice cream cone makes me happy. Last week, I found out that an ice cream cone makes my puppy happy too. He took the entire thing out of my hand and walked over to the air vent to eat it. The cool air coming from the air vent was enough to keep it from melting so easily, but some of the ice cream was still getting inside the air vent. I was sure that even with the air conditioning on, it was still going to get inside and curdle. Ice cream is mostly milk. I was imagining the smell of sour milk permeating throughout the house. As soon as my puppy was done with his ice cream, I pulled the air vent cover to clean up inside the air duct. Ice cream was in the air duct and dripping off the air vent cover. After cleaning up the mess, I made a mental note to never let my puppy have an ice cream cone. I noticed there was more than ice cream inside the air duct. I called the HVAC company and told them how this air duct was almost clogged shut. I started opening up the air vent covers and looking inside. The air ducts were clogged with dirt. I was glad I had given my puppy the ice cream, or I would have never known my ductwork was blocked with dust and dirt.
