Things I've learned since arriving home

  1. Staying at a doggy hotel can produce stress in a dog. When dogs have diarrhea it is incredibly unpleasant.
  2. Cleaning dog poop off your walls, floors and getting it out of clothing is also incredibly unpleasant. Having to bathe your dog 3 times in one day is incredibly annoying.
  3. Six loads of laundry is a depressing amount of folding.
  4. Grass that has not been cut for two or three weeks is incredibly tall, and thick, and difficult to mow.
  5. Deep tissue massage on a post-motorcycle vacation body hurts sooooo good.

D'OH!!! My pup got in to small amount of chocolate the other day so I know how the doggy diarrhea goes.

On laundry, I find drinking helps the folding process... or the forgetting thereof. ;)

owwwwwch that hurts and stinks-even way over here in Michigan.

I am so sorry that you had to deal with that. I think I might have bailed by checking into a nearby spa and paying to have everything taken care of thoroughly.

You have true grit Mrs. Logo!

Friend who calls to brag about said deep tissue massage on the way out of the salon --- not so pleasant.

I'll get you my pretty ....

I must say that in the 12 years that I had Rio, I never once had to clean up that sort of mess. Oh no, I just had to keep her from eating small children....

6 loads of laundry IS depressing, no matter how you slice it.

Masages good!

But I dont even wanna hear it about the grass! As grass goes you are in the minor leagues...I know, I saw your yard, which btw people, is quite spacious...but mines...well, its not a yard at all but a giant field and I just wanna say that I am the queen of allergy suffering right now and I want you to ride that lawnmower down here and take care of this problem right awya missy...you can even make circles or whatever you like.....

just sayin
