What Else Are Ya' Gonna Do?

I really didn't have much for the What I Learned This Week carnival. Well, I do but it is turning into a post that needs some editing and I just wasn't ready to publish it. But as luck would have it...life just happens.


So, I learned in 10 minutes today that...

If you have a puppy and are not taking him outside to go to the potty about every 5 MINUTES he will pee on your living room rug.

AND while you are fetching the Nature's Miracle from upstairs where he peed earlier that day, you will discover the two piles of poop in the corners of the play room that he left there sometime.

I suppose you'll never know if one belonged your older dog because he's decided that why should he be the only one going outside in the snow to pee and poop. Do you think he is smart enough to know that the puppy will most likely get blamed? hmmmm.

So, you will head back downstairs to let the scolded puppy back in the house from the cold outside and while you are cleaning up the pee from the beginning of this story, your new puppy WILL knock over the TV tray that holds your sick son's chicken and dumplings and Sprite all over the living room floor where the pee is anyway.

About this time - okay at this exact moment - your sweet husband will call to ask how things are going and what you made for dinner.

You will learn at this point to just laugh. Because what else are ya' gonna do?

Well, you could blog about it. It definitely helps me!

My friend said I should have named this post "If you Give a Mom a Puppy." Dang. I am going to have to consult her before publishing anymore - that would have been such a great title!

Anyway for more great lessons learned hop on over to Musings of a Housewife.
