of boomer and plops

Ok, so this little note has little nothing to do with plops.  (Must reserve plops for most important occasions, like half birthdays.)

But it does have to do with Boomer.  It's not your average look at how cute my little pupper is.


Because, really, Boomer has a face only a mother could love.


She's awkwardly shaped, all long like a wiener dog, but with a scruffly, rat like tail. A rat tail that's overgrown with sad long hairs that should be black but are becoming all white like.  She's growing a little white beard but it's not quite Santa or even dignified.


Her one ear just. sticks. out. Like, all up in your face, making you turn your head sideways to catch it all.  It's panoramic.


And she's got the crazy eye.


And she's mine, all mine.


Sometimes, though, she just takes my love- the love that sustains me through her shmugly face, her pooping on the carpet, her barking at air vent, her eating of my favorite grey old navy flip FLOP- and flings that love back at me, covered in her smug doggie poo.


Poo flinger, she is.


Because what she does is be all cute up in YOUR hizzouse and all DUMB up in mine.


She's all running around, letting herself out to pee, smiling and giggling in YOUR house.


Then she's all scurrying and flitting and fleeing and peeing in OUR house.


Dumb dog loves our parents' houses more than her own.  She's angelic and adorable at THEIR house and demonic and fugly at ours.




Fugster.  If she wasn't only so damn cute.

Does your pet fling their poo back at you (metaphorically speaking, after all they lack opposable thumbs)?

  1. Um, yes. Literally.

    Billie does this thing where after she pees or poos she does a moonwalk. She kicks, kicks, kicks while moving slowly backwards, and if I don't stop her from doing it, she kicks the poo back right at me.

    So. Rude.

  2. Oh see, our dogs are the opposite. They're wonderful, sweet, loving, and obedient at home, but as soon as we take them out in public they turn into little monsters. It's rather annoying.

  4. @Cathleya- our dog does that too (just the one). I read it is to announce to other dogs "I was here." Hubby got hit with poop once, I'm smart enough to get out of range.

    Boomer is adorable! Our beagle is a love muffin; wants nothing more than to be pet all the time. Our other pup would rather not, and once we step out the door, we pretty much don't exist to her. Ingrate.

  5. Hahaha! My dogs are sweet little babies at home, but god forbid we take them to anyone else's house! They feel like they constantly have to "mark" their territory (even the girl!)even though it isn't, in fact, their territory! A-holes, but I love them!

  6. Edie is a naughty girl. Recently she's gotten into licking the excess water from our shower and then whining every 2 minutes because she HAS to go out RIGHT NOW! And she also chews up all of our undies & shoes, but at the end of the day when I get a Basset Hound snuggle all is good.
    And Layla is just plain good.

  8. I had to leave all my furry friends at home, so sadly no metaphorical or literal poo throwing here.

    you have a VERY cute puppy though.

  9. Izzy doesn't bark or whine at my parents house but does ALL THE TIME when she's at home. Thank goodness she hates peeing and pooing in the house.
