Unconditional love

My little Clementine is adorable. We just love her to pieces. She's our fragile little flower. You can't yell at her, or she cries. If you grab her collar (with your damn pinkie) to bring her somewhere, she pulls on it and cries. You can't look at her like you are upset with her either. She cowers, tucks her tail, and has even cried. Do you see a trend? So, we have to treat her differently. She still gets in trouble, but we "yell" at her in a normal tone and volume.

She also has selective listening skills. When outside and we call her to come in, most of the time she will just look at us then keep going about her business. When it is time for her to go in her kennel, she just stays on her pillow near the front window and completely ignores us. These quirks don't bother me one bit. It makes her who she is.

She does have one habit that disgusts me beyond belief.

Clementine is always hungry, always. We feed her enough, and three times a day, so she is never starving. But, if we are in the kitchen, eating downstairs, or my mom's dog is eating her food, Clem is ready for to grab whatever may fall to the ground. She has one treat imparticular that really gets her going.

Shit.

I am not even kidding. It is repulsive. She likes to find poop in the backyard and snack on it. It has been dubbed poopsicles or soft serve. What is soft serve do you ask? Oh, well, that is when Hazel is outside getting ready to drop a deuce and Clementine is 3 inches from her ass just waiting for it to come out. This is no joke. We try to keep an eye on her, so she does not do it that often, but the second we look away, she is ready and waiting by Hazels pooper. What cracks me up about the whole thing is that Hazel is the one with the nasty breath. The one that snacks on crap has totally fresh breath! How unfair. People have given us a million ideas on how to stop it, but frankly, they are all too much work. Or, they don't work at all.

I really hope this doesn't deter anyone from cuddling with my little Lemon next time they see her. She has mouthwash, and I use it.

Weekend recap

Kenny and I brought my mom to see Great Big Sea on Thursday night=Awesome

Went to Denver to go out with Alanna, Brie and Lacey for my birthday (a month late)=Awesome

Got to hang out with Karl (Kenny's brother) who was in town for the weekend=Awesome

Little Danielle (Jeff and Jamie's spawn) turned two and had a fun little birthday party=Awesome

It was the first weekend that felt like fall=Awesome

The carpet guy came over, ripped carpet out, sectioned off the entire area with plastic and put really loud fans in there to dry everything out and the fans had to constantly be running all weekend and the house is disorganized because of everything we had to move out of the way and he wrote a quote totaling $5300 freaking dollars=NOT Awesome

Welcome to my poop house

Anyone aware of what blackwater backup is? Well Internet, it is when the lowest drain in your house (ours being the one in the water heater closet) starts overflowing into your house because something is clogged down below. So, basically, your house becomes filled with poop water. Yep. Happened last night at about 8pm.

A guy came out last night to snake the pipe. I had to throw away about a dozen towels we used to sop up feces-water. It was a great night.

So now, we have someone coming out today to rip everything up that was contaminated and he is going to replace it all.

What the deuce, man

I love Kenny. I adore Kenny. I know how Kenny is when it comes to matters of the backside, and I still love him.

I do not love that Kenny feels the need to leave the bathroom door open when he is dropping a deuce “for better acoustics” or how he describes, in great detail, the piece of crap that just wouldn’t flush. Is it essential that I know this? Does it benefit me in any way? No. He also thinks that when he is in the bathroom, that is an excellent time to catch up with friends/family.

Note: If you ever talk to Kenny on the phone and there is an echo, there is a 99% chance he is on the pot.

BioBags

I just recently purchased these for the girls. We go on a lot of walks and now I will even be helping the environment when they poop! Sometimes, I even amaze myself.
