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.

Well thanks Donna - I thought it was funny but it didn't get high marks from anyone else! Maybe next time I'll have some "yappy hour" first and loosen up that funny bone.  When are you posting?

[Donna K & Quincy]

I'm not sure if I should wait for the t-shirt to arrive, if I post too soon the shirt is going to be way behind the contest itself.

[Leslie and Halas]

Your line was great. Just keep the captions coming.  One day, that shirt will be yours!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Jane, That shirt is an XXL. I loved the maximum exposure line too. Butter up Donna :)

I told my DH if I died first, he needs to step up his act.  They need brushing, bathing, walking, doodle romps with their friends.  He has met the groomer and she is mobile, we are good there ;) 

[BG and Gavin]

Okay, I just got my DH to promise to notify everyone here is anything happens to me (God forbid).  Thanks for bringing this most important point to light :) :)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

God forbid is right...but I do worry about my spoiled doodles :)

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

You know, I have thought about this too. But I don't have a husband, so I've been wondering who would tell DK if something happened to me. This is what I thought about after seeing that guy get hit by a car on his bike. My thought pattern : "what if I get hit by a car one day... OH NO what will happen to my doodle... I'll have to find her a foster home... wait, I'll be dead, so I'll have to make sure someone knows to get on DK and tell them what happened and to ask for help re-homing Sophie...I better write this in my will. Wait, I better get a will... oh Gawd, what if Sophie Bear gets hit by a car too... no that won't happen, I'll save her..." and on and on.

[Bonnie and Kona]

Any of us would love to take Sophie Bear in if something happens to you. Sweet girl!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Sherri, Wow..my discussion has taken a bad turn...LOL! All kidding aside, maybe tell a friend or family member what should happen to SophieBear if something happens to you.

[Leslie and Halas]

We have had a few discussions about that here on DK.  Halas isn't in my will, but I do have his college money set aside in a trust fund.
