Have You Ever Said This or Done That?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

 

Since we have gotten Fudge and Vern, I have been accused on more than one occasion of putting their needs above some two-legged members of my family.  I decided to put together a little list to see if anyone else has done some of these things. Now mind you, I am not admitting to all of these things and maybe some of them are figments of my imagination, but you never know.  I have changed the names of some of the animals involved to protect the innocent, but would love to have everyone add to my list. Here goes…..have you ever:

 

• Asked your daughter to find another seat in the van, more towards the back, so one of the dogs could have her seat. Not that this ever happened in our van, but if it did, the daughter probably yelled, “Do you know I am a human being!”
• Told your husband to stop sneezing, because if scares Fudge Brownie.
• Asked your husband why he is coming to bed, because you are afraid he will wake up a large cream red colored dog that is taking up his spot.
• Told your elderly mother that if you drive to Oregon Washington with your dogs someday and happen to stop in Indiana Illinois and pick her up, she has to ride in the back because Vernors Pepsi calls shotgun. This was probably said in jest or to dissuade a chair-stealing 85-year-old woman from riding along on this long trip.
• Reminded your husband to make sure he cleans a certain dirty dog’s manly parts after said dog rolled in mud and while husband was bathing dog.
• Asked husband to climb out of bed to help Fudge Princess get up on same bed, because she placed her two front paws on the bed which means she would like permission to come aboard.
• Said in this order…I love you, Chocolate Dog, I love you, Scaredy Doodle, oh..I love you too; man I have been married to for many years.
• Said to your husband that if you die, he needs to find a woman ASAP to stay home and take care of the dogs. You might have also suggested she be kind, caring, and loving and might have heard in response, “wouldn’t that confuse the dogs?”
• Said to one or the other dog, “you are my favorite,” only to look up and find your daughter staring at you in bewilderment.
• Heard one of the members of your family say, “you love those dogs more than me,” and you respond by saying, “my mother taught me if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

 

I could go on and on with these hypothetical questions, but I will stop now.  Please feel free to add any other ones that cross your mind.  It is probably best to change all names so you leave us guessing whether or not these are real life experiences or just an imaginary situation that you have been wondering about over the years.

Camilla, I love this! Hey, if it works, why not?

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Camilla, I think this is hysterical!  Hopefully I can teach my granddaughter to heel also - as soon as she learns how to walk!

My DH & kids say Bindi is my favorite because she gets fed first before we eat, Everyday! We do not eat unless she has eaten.

We were on vacation & we slept on a King size bed. I told my DH that Bindi said we need to buy a King size bed so there is plenty of room for her to stretch out.

Our King size bed can hold two human beings and a 90 pound Doodle and 46 pound Doodle....just saying..haha!

[Leslie and Halas]

I have a king size bed for just myself that I now share with Halas.  When we travel and have to share a full size bed, Halas acts like he's really put out by the tiny bed.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Halas is used to living in style :)

Our kink sized be holds a 60 pounder and a 33 pounder.  When we vacation, if there are two queens we each get a dog :)

[DeeDee and Sheila]

I bought one for my labs.  Husband has hated it and has slept on couch ever since.  Now Sheila Sandy has her own throne on the bed where DH should be.  I really need another doodle to fill up the bed.

That's hilariously true! My wife hates that she's become last in the "pecking order". We got the first dog (Venus) because she wanted a dog. I insisted "NO". Venus was love at first site and she quickly took over my heart and became my dog. So we got the second dog (Chesley) so she could have a dog that she could bond to. Chesley also became number 2 on my list of loves, pushing my wife to number 3, lol. Dives her nuts. Now we're having a non-canine baby. Not sure where she'll fit in yet, but I can promise you my wife will get bumbed down again, yikes

[Melody & Bruin]

that's great!  ps. congrats on the non-canine baby

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

That little non-canine baby might bump everyone down a peg. Congratulations! Steven, the rule is If Mama isn't happy, no one is happy in our house....LOL!

Oh it's pretty similar in our home, but she let's me think I'm the boss so I don't pout. But I know who the real boss is around here, lol.
