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.

Here is mine:  My DH has been home since July 18 and returns to work on Sept 12 (golfing, hockey, golfing).  We had our one week family vacation in June.  He asked me if I had planned to take some days off while he is home and I said, "no I had not planned on it".  His response, "oh, you are gonna take a week off for a dog and not even one day for me!" - YIKES!!!

(ok, I then took one day off two weeks ago, another one is planned this Friday)

 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I hope you enjoyed your day off with your husband and have a great day on Friday!! My DH goes back to work tomorrow after being off for a week :(

We, too doods and I, usually hit the CA coast over Christmas.  Hubby is always invited, but if work or something comes up, we still go and say "see ya" if he can't make it!

[Janel and Sophia]

Beyond funny!!!! My darling daughter, advised me today not to ruin Sophia as I did with our dearly departed shihtzu/poodle.
Quote from DD "Sophia is a Dog not a human.... Who knew..

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Those darn daughters like to give a lot of unwanted advice, don't they?  LOL

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

You need to set that girl straight! She is obviously horribly confused!!!

[Tina, Clover, Plus 5 More]

Here are a few phrases that I say frequently whenever someone is picking on my kdis.

The dogs are not going anywhere, but you can there's the DOOR.

If you don't like it MOVE.

NO she can't come over, she's scared of dogs..

I'm hungry, what's for breakfast/supper?  Let me finish feeding Clover/Apollo/Daze/Simon/Mae/Willie.

Lexi, stop running and jumping in the house.  You're trying to get the dogs in trouble.

 

 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

What about, "Lexi, stop dancing?" LOL

[Tina, Clover, Plus 5 More]

Dancing, singing, cheering, gymnastic, on and on and on.  LOL
