Why my friends love talking to me on the phone

Me: So George and Jack escaped last night and got into a 50lb block of Icy Waters fish. (at a really great price of $5/block!!)

Steph: Uh oh! (her dogs get into all kinds of weird things, so she understands my pain)

Me: It was funny, because it was so frozen they were only able to gnaw a little hole in the side of it like there were some mice nibbling on it.

Steph: haha!

Me: I don't think they ate too much, but George might have hogged out on it, I could see her belly looked a bit bigger. I was up 5 times last night letting her out, it drove me nuts!

Steph: agh! I hate it when my dogs wake me up in the middle of the night! (what can I say, we like our sleep)

Me: I know! So not only am I up at 1am, 3am, 4:30am, 6:30am, 7:45am, when I just get back into bed and hear this weird "SPLOOSH!" and wonder, hmmm... that was a weird noise. That was not a good noise. (instinctively I know "splooshes" are baaaad)

Steph: Oh god, that doesn't sound good...

Me: Yep, your right, she hurled up a gut full of slimy fish bits... it was soooo huge and gross...

Steph: EW!!!! (starting to squirm in her chair)

Me: So I go downstairs right away, 'cause I figure out it's puke and I didn't want the smell of fish that has been digesting in a dog's gut for 10hrs to come wafting up into the loft...

Steph: Oh that's really gross (gag)

Me: I get downstairs and luckily she puked on the dog blanket! That was a lucky break 'cause do you know how hard it is to clean up slimy fish dog puke up off the wood floors? It keeps sliding around and damn! Those paper towels do NOT sop up slimy fish bits

Steph: ok, ok, I think I've heard enough...

Me (oblivious): So I drag the blanket outside, which was really not a good idea. I didn't pick up enough of it in my half asleep state - so as I dragged it the blanket left a trail of slime and fish bits over the floor, the carpet, and by this time, gah, it was really starting to reek!

Steph: Ok, ok, enough! Eww.... I don't want to hear anymore!

Me (still oblivious): Meanwhile, the door is open and George runs outside past me, OVER TOP of the blanket and slime trail, tracking slimy fish bits over the floor on her way out. Then Gracie and Kuna move in to clean up the slime trail. Reguritated slimy fish bits are apparently appealing to dogs! Not a huge surprise I guess...

*munching away on my toast and still oblivious*

Me: So did you have breakfast yet?

Steph: Ugh! I think I'm going to puke now. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, good friends are hard to find.

Your poor friend!

So should I bring air fresheners whenever we make it out there?

Ha ha! I can completely identify. Have I ever told you about the rotten chickens the dogs ate off of the manure pile? The ones that ended up as a slimey lump under the dinner table? If not, I can share...

Hey, is that puking thing genetic too? If anyone around here is going to puke up something gross in the middle of the night, it's Franklin!

My Mom will stay at my house, but my sister gets a hotel!

dogsled_stacie said...

lol Susan.

Yeah Tamara - must be genetic!!! They're my little pukers! Is Franklin the one to always get into stuff?? Today George thought it would be HILARIOUS to escape from the pen like 5 times!! Then I tied her up to show her (ha!) and she started chewing on the chain, man they're weird!!!

Heather (aka Mum) said...

OK...we're in WH again Thursday...so I was wondering, could ya make sure the smell is gone before then? Ya know...just incase we decide to drop in on our way home! Oh...& the bits all cleaned up too...ya see, Adelaide really like to but things in her mouth that she finds on the floor...
Respectfully,
your friend ;)

LMAO... I went throught this too, but mine was REALLY fing gross. We got salmon this year rom Dawson city and we hung it up, to half rot, because nothing but the best for our dogs....yah. One of my dogs is so active on his tie out he took all his fur off around his neck where his color was. So inside he comes, cuz of fear of frostbite, in the cold. Not thinking I gave him the rotten fish soup (this fish smells incradably BAD even when frozen). Every one who knows me figures out I am a slow learner. He ended up in the house with rotten fish and then got upset tummy from something and through it up, more than once, and since it was during the really cold spell, I wouldnt leave him outside. I dont know how much paper towl I used in those next few days , but it was ridon-cue-less. So I started in on the non stinking fish, no better. Must be the heat in the house or he just loved it so much he wanted to taste it as often as he possibly could...YUCK!!
Even replaced the mop a few times this winter, been though a CASE of paper towels, and lots of news paper, nothing works, except the other "doggy vacs" that seems to love seconds. lol

Sorry Heather I ran out of paper towel, it's gonna stink for a couple weeks... :)

No kidding musher, that is gross. I think I should get a sponsorship from Bounty for all I go through with my pukey, poopy, pee-y dogs!
