My In-laws are away on a fabulous vacation. Yeah for them. I am not at all jealous. For us, this means another extended visit from their dog. Sigh. He is a great big beautiful, sad looking brown lab. Don’t let his looks fool you…a wee devil hides behind those innocent eyes. He is pretty, and I love him, but he is dumb as a stump and a pain in the a$$.
Suddenly there is a lot of yelling going on in this normally quiet house. It sounds something like this:
“Mikey, be quiet”
”Mikey, get back here”
“Dude, put that down!”
“Mikey, sit. Please sit. Okay, well stand still.”
“Mikey, GET OUT OF THE GARBAGE”
“Don’t. You. Dare Throwing up in the house. Not cool.”
”Why the bleep would you want to eat the caca out of a litter box? You dumb dumb dog! I’m going to see that again.”
“Who ate my Muffins? Mikey?”
“Oh Mikey c’mon…an entire loaf of bread? Seriously, how are you still hungry?”
“Good grief man! How many times a day does a dog have to pee?”
“Hubby, YOUR dog needs to go out again.”
“MIKEY. Stop eating your own poop. Disgusting”
“Time for bed big boy.”
I am tired of my own voice. He must be tired of me by now. Ten more days. Good thing God made him cute.

Remember the 70’s and 80’s commercials for Life cereal, if Mikey likes it you know it’s ok because he doesn’t like anything, well instead your Mikey likes everything even disgusting things like poop. Thank god my dog is fairly easy next to Mikey !

We have seven dogs, four “visiting”. There is nothing but yelling in this house.

I’m a firm believer in a good fenced backyard for my dog. The only time she’s in is during the cold winter nights. Other than that, I play frisbee with her, walk her and get her plenty of exercise. But no, sorry, no house dog for me! Best of luck over the next days! Did someone really say their dog eats their underwear? So funny!
diane says

ROFL totally understand all of it, I once had neighbours ask if my cat was called ‘get offit’ as that was all they heard…
My dachshound had the same fascination with the litter box (do not know why), the large blonde dog in our house eaats everything, glasses, coat hangers, hairclips, dog toys, blankets you name it he will chew it…. thank god he is cute
fingers crossed the next ten days go well and fast

I would develop an allergy because… I dunno, dogs are like children…. no one EVER thinks they’re a cute as you do. LOL I thin he needs to be boarded.

Our dog is pretty chill. Thank the Lord! It’s hard when dogs are as bad as having another kid.
