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.

I cant get the strikethrough button to work.  Darn.  It will strike through, but then button won't turn off and wants to continue for rest of words in post.

[Dara and Hendrix]

I tell Hendrix he is so cute when he burps, but tell my kids to stop being pigs when they burp. Lol.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

LOL! Good one!

DH hates anyone burbing, unless it is our dogs, and Buddy's is always in your face.....Go figure :)

[DeeDee and Sheila]

I love mom's of human boys.  If you would say that to girls, they would cry and tell Daddy, who is ALWAYS the king w/ my girls.  Even my female doodle baby.  She will COME when DH calls her, but just goes and gets a toy and looks at me if I don't have a treat in my hand.

I was talking with my daughter in the kitchen and went to let the dogs out. Once I let the doods out, Lucy, without fail, will totally jump on Ethel.  As I let them out I yelled "Aubrie, get off her!"  From behind me I hear "Gee, thanks mom."

I will admit my mother ran through all 5 kids' names before she got it right, but I was never confused with a pet's name.

Very funny!!

[BG and Gavin]

I "relased" my husband yesterday!  I was (a little impatiently) holding the door for him waiting to leave the house and I said in my upbeat release voice "okay!"  He said "you realize I am not the dog."  I was actually a bit embarassed.

[DeeDee and Sheila]

OMG.  too funny.  My nose is now stuffy, my eyes weeping while reading all these responses.

[Sue, Lola, Pongo & Hubby]

The love chain in our household is very well-known. There is no need to change names to protect anyone here!!! When we leave the house (for work, shopping, etc...), we are BOTH guilty of giving Lola major snuggles, puppy talk, a thousand kisses, and then we turn to the human in the house and say "See ya later" and leave. Honestly, this happens ALL the time!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL

Have you ever told DH he had to use the dogs shampoo because that's all you had when you had your good shampoo hidden? BTW, Harry Barker's Prickly Pear smells fabulous.
