I am Karan from Olympia, WA.
Almost every other name used here is a pseodonym pseudonim pseudonymn alias.
The rest of it is true - mostly - and all of it is my own.
Don't even think about taking any of it, unless of course, you want to pay me.

We have a Portuguese Water Dog, a breed known for it’s inquisitive, “I’ve just got to know” intellect. This dog is also very very playful. He loves to share his fun. Last night, he was in heaven. Our normal way of being is to make sure that at the very least, all doors to rooms the dog is not welcome are closed. We’ve been very good about this. Last night we had a systems failure. “Houston, we’ve got a problem”....
It seems that one of the kids left a treasure in the toilet, with the lid up, with the bathroom door open. Our pooch went fishing, carried his catch, sat down on a big stack of clean clothes, gobbled it up and then came to smile happily at all of us who were scattered throughout the house.
Our dog is not a tidy diner. He had this most recent meal smushed on his face, in his paws and on his legs and in his efforts to greet each of us, he spread the smush around the house. It didn’t take us long to notice the new fragrance and when we finally figured out where it was and how it was making it’s way through the house, it was on the carpet, on some furniture and still, luckily mostly on the dog.
The first course of action was to get the dog outside and give him a quick doggy bath. Afterward, I noticed that he had the most terrible breath. I started treating his halitosis by giving him some doggy treats, then I tried peanut butter, and finally, a couple of Tums...I wonder if that’s something that GlaxoSmithKline had in mind as acceptable use....
While the dog was getting his bath and breath treatment, Leonard tackled the inside mop up efforts. The kids were in charge of sniffing out the offending spots and between the three of them, the mess was cleaned up. Lucky for us, we still had some of the “Nature’s Miracle” left from doggie training days. The bottle says it’s perfect for pet stains and odors, which we definitely had. We went to bed hoping to find our house back to it’s pre-smush scent. Gladly, this morning, no hint of the dog’s fishing trip remained, even on/in the dog.
They sure don’t put this kind of stuff in those parenting books.
Today’s Cool Link: The Scoop on Poop. While I was checking out links to “enhance” this poopy report, I found this interesting, yet disgusting link. Everything you might have wondered about poop is there...but if you wondered about this stuff, I wonder about you....
