The other day I was taking my dog-babies for a walk while I talked to Emily on the phone. The conversation went something like this:
ME: Blah, blah, blah... Oh snap, hold on. Obie found a chicken nugget on the ground and now I have to pry it out of his mouth.
(Commence prying stale chicken nugget out of his clamp jaws of death. I swear that dog's got a grip like a wolverine on the last moose carcass of the winter.)
EMILY: *Laughing, laughing, laughing* That's funny because today when I went visiting teaching Afton found a hot dog on the ground and I had to pry it out of her mouth. P.S. Why would someone have a hot dog on their floor?
ME: Gross.

Another day I was talking to Emily again. This is how that conversation went:
ME: Oh snap. Fifi pooped on the floor. I better go so I can clean it up.
EMILY: That's ok. Afton pooped in the bathtub today.

Amusing. I find it strange that children are allowed pretty much everywhere, but my clean, cute, quiet dogs are allowed very few places. The more I talk to Emily, the more convinced I am that my dogs are small, hairy two year olds that I can leave home alone without fear of them falling into the toilet. Fifi did get stuck in a laundry basket the other day though.
** Update: Emily pointed out that when her kids get the b.u. she can put them in diapers and Fifi just puts her poops on the rug to poison us all. My response is this.

I totally agree. Before Coco died I tried to take her into Costco (in her adorable dog carrier) and they wouldn't let me. She was much cleaner and easier to control than my 3-year-old.
YEP...totally the same. Dirty, MEssy, poopy and they whine, plus ADORABLE and fun!!!
Yes, pets and children have a lot in common. Love the "oh, snap" and the "last moose carcass of the winter" comments. You never cease to amaze me with your humor! :) He, he, he. Keep me laughing.
At least when my kids have the bu I can catch it in a diaper instead of them rubbing it all over the rug. One point for kids! Yay!
