My Wife... Chapter Three...

[Traxxis]

so, let me start off by directing you to the posts of the last two days. Day one, Friday, Nemo, the cat, knocks over Kara's 1000 piece puzzle she had been working on for a few weeks and destroys it.

Day two, the dogs DESTROYED the trash can and left it all for us when we got home.

All this brings us to today. After a fun night of bowling with friends, we come home to an unmistakable smell. Now, bare in mind, we have had these two dogs for three years, and NEVER have they pooped or pee'd (sp?) in the house. Well, after a minute or two of searching for it, I stumble upon it.... where?

Apparently her dog, Boo, got the Christmas garland that Kara had just brought out (right before we left for bowling) confused with actual grass. Oh yes, she showed us just what she thought about Kara's Christmas decorations.

Now, I know the first two installments included illustrations to better portray the acts of the viscious animals living amongst us, however I do not feel as though the illustrations of tonight's adventures are necessary for you to fully understand the effects of it all.

I gotta say, I am impressed that her aim was such that it all hit the garland and narrowly avoided the rug, as I am certain that Kara would have thrown the rug away, lest she have to watch me clean it up. It was funny seeing her gag though...

Which is another thing I don't understand, how can she clean up Lord knows what that comes out of all orifices of a baby, but she can't handle this???

You can't make this stuff up people...

Quote from my brother's text: "it's cold outside, thank God they brought some grass in here for us!"

The only reason this is funny is because I hide stuff like this from GC all the time ...

My most famous and oft repeated line is "GAWD honey ... it's not like they **fill in the blank** in the house all the time or anything. I just should have let them out sooner."

But yeah ... he knows ... and I adore him because he just sighs and goes on about his business, letting me think I have fooled him into thinking our critters are much, much better behaved than they actually are.

your pets are pretty cool, my pet(s) are cool too,

i have wood floors because of them, it was fun to install....

the concrete floor under the carpet i pulled up looks like it was poured during a heavy gale... 200# of floor level didn't even fix it, but the flooring went in anyway...

so, it sounds like you're only cleaning up after them... for now...

I can bring my supressed .22 pistol over and solve your dog and cat problem.

My goldfish never give me any trouble....

If I were a 99 cent goldfish living in a $1200 tank, I wouldn't give you any trouble either....

Not to hijack the thread but how has the floor worked out?? We have a concrete foundation also and you can literally see the slant in the kitchen.

Did you do it yourself or hire it done??

Thanks!!

Back on topic: Traxxis, man ... I feel your pain. All I have to say is get a jug of OdorBan from Sams. That stuff is a GODSEND!!

We have a miniature yorkie. This dog is the most untrainable thing I've ever seen. She got kicked out of obedience school the first day (she's pretty indifferent about pretty much every doggy treat on the planet). But she's pretty good about doing her business on one of those mats you put down for puppies if you wait too long to put her out.

Trouble is, my wife thinks we have to have those .99 cent throw rugs every where. The kind you put in front of doors and such. We have one in front of the sink, and the front and back door. The furry marmot is always going on them. My wife gets mad at her, then at me when I ask her "how is the dog supposed to know the difference"? Wives....

actually the above was a fib, it was 200# of floor level, and a bunch of beer...

i did it myself... got to mix the stuff, pour it, spread it - spread it before it SETS!!!! and so on, like doing it in layers, should have known what i was up against when the guy at home depot was laughing at me for buying so much leveling compound...

it looks okay, but when the base boards went in you can see where it isn't quite right, but i am picky

if you have a slant, that almost sounds like piering? either way hire someone, you might be arguing about a contractor, argue about him rather that argue with mr. jack boot about what you tired to do...

anyway, had two male and one female dogs... 2 jack russell terriers and a boarder collie, do i need to say more..., oh yeah, lost a couch to the jack russells too, now it's just me and the make JRT,

so i think i am ahead of the pet thing..... i think....
