Lucky for me

Lucky for me.....

Grant's bedroom furniture isn't new like ours in the master bedroom

Lucky for me.....

I own a steam cleaner

Lucky for me......

I just bought a gallon of paint color matched to Grant's bedroom walls last week

Lucky for me.....

There is paint left over from the newly painted trim and doors upstairs

Lucky for me.....

Home Depot still sells doorknobs that match ours

Lucky for me.....

Wooden furniture doesn't taste very good to a dog

Lucky for Grant.....

Dogs don't like the taste of toys either

Lucky for me.....

All of Grant's bedding is washable

Lucky for me.....

Stuffed animals are also machine washable

LUCKY FOR MEG......

Our kids love our dog......

OR I WOULD KILL HER TODAY....well, OK, not kill her......

maybe just put her up for adoption.

I almost did that one other time.  I sent out an ad that looked something like this the night before Thanksgiving last year, but didn't get any takers....

This time the advertisement would look something like this......

FREE TO GOOD HOME

ONE FEMALE RED LAB RETRIEVER.

VERY FRIENDLY.

WELL TRAINED.

LOVES KIDS.

HOUSEBROKEN.....

WELL, HOUSEBROKEN THAT IS, EXCEPT WHEN LOCKED BY A THREE YEAR OLD IN A BEDROOM WHILE SAID THREE YEAR OLD AND HIS MOTHER RUN ERRANDS FOR THREE HOURS.....

THEN

THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED DOG TURNS INTO A CO-DEPENDENT, MANIACAL NUT JOB THAT UTTERLY DESTROYS ALL THINGS WITHIN REACH.


Yes, I spent the afternoon cleaning peed on toys, scratched up walls, doors, knobs and trim, window blinds and baseboards, chewed and shredded toys and a nightstand upon which the dog pooped ON TOP OF.  I have no idea how she got up there to do that. 

No pictures.....some things just aren't worth remembering years from now. 

Today is one of them.

Instead I'll just post this.....

Bad Dog, Meg!!!

And how was YOUR day???
