Pugg That!

I am NOT an animal lover.
Edited to add: THIS confirms what I've been telling ya'll!!! Dogs are UNPREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's NO secret. I don't pretend to like animals. My favorite are the owners who swear up and down that their precious Rosco would NEVER harm a flea!

Don't get me wrong, I would NEVER kick your cat just don't expect me to be all happy to see your pets. I watch the Dog Whisperer all the time. I LOVE that show. But, it doesn't change my mind about animals. Dogs in particular. Cats?? Please don't even get me started on their sneaky behinds!!!!!!!!

Let's fast forward to what happened the other day at the park. I have come to realize that if you have a dislike your kids will almost always LOVE it.

My son LOVES DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will break his neck to say, "Hi Doggie, Hi Doggie, Mommy look at the Doggie!"
Urrgh!!! I cannot stand it!!! Then of course, I have to fake the -----ohhhh yes, i see the Doggie. Be careful don't touch the Doggie. Just wave hello!

We're at the park, and in comes this little girl with her Pug. My son throws his sand toys clear across the way to get over to this girl and her dog. My immediate reaction is to run after him, sweep him up and wash him down from all the licks the dog was giving him. The freaking dog was licking my son. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been around pugs before and I've never known them to get violent around kids. But, then again, dogs are dogs, UNPREDICTABLE!

Now here I am hovering over my son praying this dog does NOT bite him and the little girl says, here you want to take him for a walk?

What do you think my son did?

Yup, you guessed it. Eagerly grabbed the leash and off they went!!! My son was so happy with the dog! I wish I had a closeup! Cheesing the entire time!!



I took a picture of it. Of course I did! I cringed the entire time but, smiled and tried to keep from freaking out. Once I figured out a way to get him away from the dog, I got him to the car, wiped him down and tried to send telepathy messages to him to stop liking dogs so much.

Well, it goes to show you, the one thing you HATE will probably be the same thing your kids will LOVE.

Before you send me hate mail or a photo of you and Rosco or long stories of how your pets are so good around animals, blah, blah---Please, DON'T.

Thanks.

Question: What's the one thing you cannot stand but, your kids LOVE?

We have a new addition to our family

DJ has been talking about goldfish for quite some time now. Lemme tell you, I'm NOT a pet person at all. It's just not me. I don't like or want pets in my home.

Well, who knew a 19 and 2 year old would break me down?

Here's what happened today--

We pulled up to:


And I had to self talk my way into the store. You know, a store where people can bring their PETS to shop with them. Yes, you see this is going to be an exciting adventure.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. One lady in front of us had the cutest dog (ok did I say that) well, the dog was all dressed up (yes, weird) and it kept jumping up at the cart. The lady says, oh (buffy) LOVES kids. She's trying to say hi to your son. LOVE it! The dog speaks?

Well, we finally got home and situated. (translated into--Danyelle and DJ set up the fish, etc..) Hey, aren't you proud that I even went with them to get the fish!

Presenting DJ's new friend--"Pawlee"




You have to put the brooklyn accent on it when you say it. Well, that's the way DJ pronounces it. HaHa...
