I'm Mrs. Oh My Gosh That Brittny's Shameless

Blondie

I mentioned earlier that Lucy is a poop-eater. This is troublesome for many reasons. Most recently because she is due to have hernia surgery this morning and she isn’t supposed to have anything in her stomach (by the way, this is our third attempt to take her to the vet to get this done). Each time we’ve taken her we’ve gotten up early,

gotten ready,

chased the dogs all around to get them out the door,

had one escape and had to run around some more,

forgotten the car keys and had to run back upstairs to tear up seat cushions, pockets, and cabinets

only for them to be on the table where they’re always freaking are,

finally place them in the car,

gotten her all the way to the clinic for her to finally puke everywhere when they try to put her under. If it wasn’t all the fun listed above, it was that we caught her eating poop as we were getting ready to take her.

Well last night we thought we’d solved the problem. We thought it would be smart to make the dogs sleep with us to ensure there would be no poop eating while we were sleeping. Afterall, dogs don’t like to crap in their beds, right?

Correct.

However, I discovered about 30 minutes ago that although dogs don’t like to crap in their bed, apparently pee is a totally different entity.

Peeing the bed is soooo okay.

Apparently.

I was half awake this morning and couldn’t shake the pungent smell of pee. I knew Will had put them down to go on a puppy pad last night, and that they got back into bed immediately after. I didn’t figure the smell would be that strong, though. It just seemed to get stronger and stronger, almost as if my nose hairs were burning. I decided to flip over on my side, place a big t-shirt over my face and go back to sleep.

Pee Smell Remains

Still There

Yep, Still There

Finally I start to think maybe she peed on the floor next to me. I get up, look around and BAM there it is.

Pee

On my pillow

On the shirt I was using to cover my face.

On my freaking PILLOW!!

I throw the stuff to the ground and start smelling my clothes, hair, and Will.

Pee on the Pillow?

Check.

Pee on the Shirt?

Check.

Pee on my hair?

Check.

Check.

Check.

On My Pillow Guys!!! On the shirt I covered my face with!!!!

ON MY HAIR.

I think my freaking Lucy must have some latent anger towards me.

Lucy- 3, Brittny- 0

Wait- actually,

Lucy- 3 4, Brittny- 0

That little monster won out again. By the time we woke up, inspected the rest of the bed, and everything else, we decided we’d just call the vet and make an appointment for next week. I think she’s on to us.

Will thinks there is no direct evidence linking Lucy with the crime (this may also have something to do with the fact that he and Lucy have recently became pals).

I however feel differenly. Lucy sooo had a motive. She’s guilty, and I can see it in her face.

Lucy- I’m watching you.  rolleyes

That would be so awful to wake up to!  I’m glad Scoop doesn’t go in the house anymore..I don’t miss the days of cleaning up after him!!  I hope that doesn’t happen to you again!  That must have been so awful!

Oh my goodness! That’s horrible...just insane...what a rude awakening. I remember when Amei was a puppy. I was at my wits end with her, swearing that I just couldn’t handle it anymore and that she’d be better off somewhere else. Finally one day she just stopped. It was amazing and we really haven’t had any problems with her since. Hopefully Lucy too will just snap out of it.

Oh No!  What a rude awakening.  I think you might be on to something...that Lucy is on to you!  I hope things get better for you...or that you can at least even the score!  Have you asked the vet for suggestions?  Or perhaps see if you can’t take her in the night before?  What a crazy dog you have!

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww gross!! gross gross gross! This story is exactly why I’m not cut out for animals, especially the indoor kind.

Posted by Mrs. M  on  05/10  at  04:55 AM

OH.MY.GOSH.  NO!

That’s awful Brittny!  Oh my gosh, pee on the pillow!  What’d you go, throw it out?  I mean, you can wash a shirt, but how do you get a PILLOW clean? 

Ewwww.

Bad puppy!!

YIKES!  That is awful!  What is up with that?  Crazy dog…

Posted by Kassie  on  05/10  at  06:22 AM

Ugh, you poor thing. I WISH I could say that I can’t relate, but unfortunately, I can. But not with pee....with barf. Talk about GROSS, waking up to a pile of dried barf 4 inches from your feet.

Dogs are disgusting, aren’t they? So why is it we still love them so much???

Posted by Sarah R  on  05/10  at  06:41 AM

Ewww, ewww, eww. Your poor thing!

Posted by Jenny  on  05/10  at  07:21 AM

Oh geez, Brittny!  That is just awful.  I can not imagine how icky that must have been for you. 

Icky, icky, icky!  I think you deserve some serious ice cream therapy today…

*shudder*

At least the rest of the day should be quite pleasant given the opening experience.

Posted by MeLissa  on  05/10  at  07:29 AM

That’s too funny!  I can totally sympathize with your disgust.  ON YOUR PILLOW?!!!  ON YOUR SHIRT - THAT YOU USED TO COVER YOUR FACE?!!!  But ON YOUR HAIR!!!  That takes the cake. (Mmmm, cake!  Yellow cake with chocolate icing. Mmmmm) smile

Posted by  on  05/10  at  07:58 AM

Oh Britt I am so sorry.  Talk about having a reason to wake up on the wrong side of the bed!!!  I hope Lucy isn’t out to get you because really how could it get worse???? Hang in there!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your stories… they really help keep me from ever wanting a puppy… Granted, I’ve had puppies, and been there, but still.  No puppies for us!

Posted by Annie  on  05/10  at  09:48 AM

Oh lordie.....I can relate. Not exactly, but I let Dozer out when he was a puppy to do his business outside, he came back in and promptly jumped up on the bed to pee on my down bedding. Talk about furious: I found a gate, I put it across the kitchen door and that is where he has slept ever since (linoleum-easy clean floors).

Posted by Beth G  on  05/10  at  10:52 AM

EwwWWWwWwwW!!!  So gross!  YUCK! How in the world ... why ... ewww!  Pee on your pillow!  In your hair!  I’m sorry for laughing, because I am laughing ... but because it’s so totally gross not because it’s really funny. 

That’s right, get that little sucker into surgery.  She’s just playing ticks on you. wink

Have a lovely Friday!

Posted by RJ  on  05/10  at  12:08 PM

OMG that is gross!
I doubt this will help.....but at least it wasn’t cat pee smile (vomit) I’d be tempted to lock her up after that.....

Ewww… Recently, I’ve been on to a mysterius pee smell in the general area of my kitchen. I haven’t found it yet, but I’m thinking that much like how your dog will pee where she sleeps, mine has decided to pee where he eats.

Speaking of eating ... Drs. Foster & Smith have something in their catalog that you give to your dog and makes them not eat their poo - it’s called “Dis-taste.” I’ve never had to use it on Brian, but you might need it for Lucy: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=583&Ntt=eating&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1

I totally understand the poop eating and how disgusting it is - there are a couple of remedies, do some research, it may help. 
I think the peeing is a puppy thing and I can only imgine how you felt when it was all over you.
Don’t you just love them - mine is just a crazy!!

Love, Lis xo

That’s just gross!  Precisely the reason I will NOT let Jasper on the furniture!  Not that I think he’d actually wet on it--and if he did we’d just have to end up buying new furniture...have I mentioned the size of our dog!  Just think what size it is of whatever comes out of him!  But, I also don’t want to have to deal with dog hair everywhere! 

Have fun getting the pee stink out of everything!

Oh my gosh, Brittny, that’s so gross! Yuck! Ew! Stinky! And yet, so funny! What a naughty puppy!

Posted by Cherie  on  05/11  at  12:02 PM

EWWWWW!!!!

Toby used to pee on our bed all the time, once or twice with us in it, but never on pillows or that close to where we were at the time...for awhile if we weren’t getting up to feed him fast enough, he’d just pee on the bed--that ALWAYS got mommy up smile

Good luck with Lucy!

Yay I found your NEW new blog site.  I was still waiting for you to post on the Destination Beautiful one since like February....glad you’re still out there in cyberspace!  I used to “lurk” on your The Nest blog, and have finally started one of my own now.  It’s invite only though, but if you are interested I would love to send you an invite!  Just need to know your email address.  Take care, and I have a lot of catching up to do on your blog!

How friggin’ gross is THAT! Lucy might as well have peed on your darn head!  Ugghh!!!  I would’ve been sooooooooo pissed!  The dog would’ve been outside!!

man, girl. i can’t even imagine that. you know, when Hersh does crazy stuff like that (he hasn’t done exactly that thank heaven) it makes me feel bad...bc for a split second, i think why am i doing this? i feel like such a bad mom....in fact it has me borderlined worried that i would feel that way with non fur bearing kids.

i bet that was a hot shower...and of course you got to go to walmart (well, the Q8 equivalent) for a new pillow...eww it didnt get into the mattress did it? geez what a mess.
