My life - Gross!

Happy Father's Day!

We didn't celebrate Father's Day today. We packed and cleaned out a storage unit.

I am horrified at the amount of stuff I have accumulated. Due to auctions, estate sales, and garage sales I have enough bits of this and that to run my own antique gallery. Which I may do. All I know, is by the end of this year, the majority is going to be gone.

Olive is having a time out in her crate. Puppies are hard. Disruption of her schedule has sent her into a tailspin. She has so far today, chewed up my beautiful bedroom rug, ripped my shorts, and has eaten some dog's feces.

Yep, you heard me right, she eats poop. Oh God, just typing it makes my stomach flip flop and I feel slightly ill. I have never had a dog that does this. It is by far the grosses thing I have ever seen. I placed an emergency call to the vet last night and was told it is fairly common among puppies. That didn't make me feel any better, I just decided to stop touching any puppies I see. Tomorrow I am picking up something called "Forbidden." You sprinkle it on the other dog's food and it is suppose to make the poop less appealing.

My gosh, less appealing? I didn't even know it had any appeal at all! Another company you have got to question how they came to make this product. What are people seeing in their day to day lives that invite the strangest products known to man. Cow's testicles to dog bones. Powder that makes poop taste bad. How do you test this product? Is there a news bulletin that you list the number of poop eating dogs you need? So some day if the dogs stop eating poop you have got a winner on your hand? My life is taking on a slightly science fiction vibe and I for one am starting to get terrified.

I have one dog that eats cherries that fall from the trees that surround our sidewalks. I thought I had pretty much entered hell when I had to pull a cherry stem out of his nether regions, turns out I was wrong. So horribly wrong.

All I can say is this life I lead, it is something that dreams are made off. I am sure that I should be starring in a Lifetime Movie of the week. This is real life, and it is just a big bowl of cherries.
