Me: I know it's the buttcrack of dawn, and I'm sorry to wake you up, but I have a favor to ask.
The Squeeze: Happy Valentine's Day, baby.
Me: Aw, thanks! Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.
The Squeeze: What did you need?
Me: I think the dog is sick. Can you get a stool sample?
Ah, l'amour. We are a romantic movie in the making.
(True: Prada's fine. I'm pretty sure she just ate a stick.)
No chocolates for Bella, please. Just cuddles, and maybe something sparkly.
Stool sample! Bwhahahahaha! Happy Valentine's Day Squeeze!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I don't think I could handle the messy part of two dogs and a cat if it weren't for Hubs. He handles all the yuckiness when I'm at work so I try to pick up the slack on the weekends and in the evening. It's either that or I have to watch him tie on a scarf or something so the mess won't gag him ;)
The Squeeze is a pretty good sport about helping. Prada is my dog and my responsibility, and that includes the gross stuff. I wouldn't have asked, but I needed to leave for work. Maybe it's just me, but do dogs seem more likely to poop when you can't find a bag, and less likely to poop when you need a sample?
DeleteSparkly as in vampire, or sparkly as in jeweled collar? (I get confused real easily...did I ever tell you that my brain reboots at least twice a minute? Or sometimes just because I blink? Keep that in mind when I make no sense. Or when I comment.)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I hadn't thought of that. I personally don't prefer my vampires sparkly (I'm of the True Blood side of things), but I suppose that would be okay. As long as said sparkly vampire didn't eat her. But then, that is a condition for anyone wanting to adopt a pet...
DeletePS: Your comments are awesome.
Love is...collecting stool samples.
ReplyDelete:)
If it isn't, I don't know what is. No, really though, it has all the makings of Valentine's day--it's warm and gooey.
DeleteOh, I just grossed myself out.
