Pissing on the 4th
Ah the fourth of July. A national holiday completely revolving around blowing stuff up with explosives and lighting the night sky on fire with pretty pieces of flammable chemicals, what could possibly be better?
Well the cherry on my sundae yesterday was after spending all afternoon with ½ of the future in-laws up in Cameron MO, having off plan food, like burgers, brats, and the new smokin cheddar BBQ Doritios, then being able to flex the back muscles a bit and moving a couple of refrigerators, and getting some groovy shots of the niece. Then coming home to find out our dog, what gets excited by bright light and loud noises like thunderstorms, fireworks, and my camera flash, has broken out of her steel kennel and knocked the kitchen door off it’s hinges and then proceeded to lock herself in the office…yes she is Houdini.
But wait THAT’S NOT ALL!!
After relaxing for a bit on the couch we decide that since both of us have to work we will go to bed early and try and sleep. So we head off to the bed room where Bouby promptly steps into a large pool of dog urine.
Joy of all Joys! Our stupid panic stricken dog made a couple of stops through the house before locking herself in the office. So as Bouby was cleaning up the mess, (HEY it was on her side!) I was watching the Sopranos on A&E, when she makes a nasty discovery…The fucking dog, apparently mad and crazy from the noise decided to jump up on the bed and fill her side with piss as well, all over the down comforter. It was this precise moment that I realize that my left shoulder is moist, and I can smell dog piss on my pillow.
Now I know she can’t really be blamed for being scared of loud noises any more then my dead grandmother…but (and this is a crucial Butt, squeeze - squeeze) For fucks sake why does she need to pee from on high? This is the second time that she did this, the first being on the down mattress topper in the guest room, 2 years ago. What would make a dog want to get on tall furniture and wiz away? I mean really…So as Bouby was removing the comforter, and I threw my pillow away, she noticed that the piss had soaked through to the space foam mattress topper, and we needed to strip the bed and find new blankets.
So much for going to bed early.
And to top it all off our neighbors decided that MASSIVE explosions that rock our windows are best at midnight, so that was fun. Bouby only woke up for one and then she was awake for exactly 2.35 seconds, then the light but highly arousing snoring started again….
