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.
Hahaha…. the things we do for our pets 🙂 or the pets of others!
I’m convinced the dog I inherited from my mom has Aspergers. Tonka can stare at the back yard wall for hours leaving nose prints on the French doors at exactly the same spot.
The labrador, Penelope, could care less about her antics unless it involves random food that might drop her way.
Sounds like it was a good idea in theory!
like having another kid eh? except maybe eating their own poop..well….
Dogs can be exhausting, to be sure! And when it’s not your own, even if you like them, it ups the effort somehow. Good luck with the remainder of the visit.
Hillarious and I know exactly what you mean. Last weekend we had to babysit my sister in laws dog and my in laws dog. With our dog that was three dogs in our tiny ass house. Drove me crazy and they let their dogs get on the furniture, big no no in our house, so I was constantly yelling. But I did find a good way to re-use our baby gates- finally blocked all the dogs in the kitchen!
I know the feeling!!! My mother is gone on vacation for two weeks and I am watching her dog. A poodle. A spoiled poodle! A poodle that pees and poops everywhere in my house while barking at just about every car that goes by my house! 10 more days…..
This is one of the many reasons we don’t have any animals – there’s enough yelling going on already – why add to the confusion – no matter how cute that confusion might be.
This is why I like small dogs, like a laphso apso

All that in the very first day? Sheesh!
I am lol, only because I can relate. We have a gate up so our dog doesn’t eat the cat roca…ewww. I love summer when we have the dog door on the patio screen. But getting up every 5 minutes to let her in or out drives me nuts! …oh, and I haven’t even talked about the barking…lol! 🙂
bahahahaha! Well good luck with the next 10 days. I have a black lab. She’s a dumb as a stump too. And yes, she eats poop out of the cat litter…what’s up with that?
This was so funny! I could totally picture the scene at your place.
Seriously my basset hound is exactly the same way!
Awwwww! Sounds like a totally loveable pain! Enjoy that cutie (but don’t let him kiss you 😉 )
