I share this square footage with 2 adult sized males (size really doesn't count here - they make more mess than a couple of toddlers) two cats and the dogs.
When I brought MY dog home as a puppy Louie was a dream come true. Mellow and calm - he practically trained himself. In fact I'm convinced he must have trained himself because they (the Asshats) aren't housebroken yet and I've been trying for 20 years.
Then Asshat #1 brought Jackson home.

In other words - Jackson is the puppy I never gave birth too, because he is EXACTLY like my boys. Loveable but overwhelmingly in my face.
This is supposed to be the dog's water dish, but Jackson just tips it over or drags it around the house when we fill it.
So this is Jackson's water dish. Not such a bad deal for a dog - with three adult sized people in the house the water is fresh - at least when I'm home. (I'm convinced I'm the only person in the house who knows how the flusher works).
Except...
Have you ever watched a horse drink? They tend to stick their whole face in the water and then as they're walking away let the last mouthful just fall out of their mouths.
Must be the long neck.
Anyhow, Jackson likes to let the last mouthful
It's been over a month since I had dry socks.
Cute blur! That is worse than the wet in my house. For sure. The wet in my house is caused by my baby, most of our pictures of HER are always blurry, for the same reason. She loves to "test" the spill-proofness of her sippy cups, by THROWING them down on the floor repeatedly until the mechanism that makes them spill-proof dislodges and milk or water vomits all over the kitchen floor. I've had to start wearing slippers or shoes, IN MY OWN HOUSE, just b/c I'm sick of wet socks. It's not toilet water, though, so there's that :)
ReplyDeleteIt really doesn't matter how your socks get wet, if you've raised kids or pets some mental glitch always makes you feel like you've stepped in pee.
DeleteI have a Jack Russell puppy (like four months old) that thinks the water dish is something you SWIM in versus, you know - actually drinking it. I can't explain the hatred I feel when he runs in the living room soaking wet, meaning I have water to clean up in three rooms.
ReplyDeleteJackson has tried to swim in the toilet bowl.
DeleteAnd HOW long until he and the dog move out, again? It's too cold to keep them outside, right? (I mean AH1 and Jackson.)
ReplyDeleteNovember 21st is the magic day. It's way too cold outside for Jackson but probably fine for AH1
DeleteThe wet floors in our home (or at least half of it) can be attributed to the toilet as well. Not because of any any dog, mind you. We don't have one. It's because the tank that fills it always ends up broken, one way or another, no matter how many times the plumber changes the parts.
ReplyDeleteI've had my share of toilet troubles - generally caused by the Asshats. Like the time they flushed a potato down the toilet.
DeleteYup this is why I always get adult dogs and not puppies. They come pre-trained and everything.
ReplyDeleteMy golden was never as busy as this guy. Of course he's not so mellow with a puppy to play with all day long.
