On The Rug Again

Why? Why? Why?

Why does Blue always find a rug to throw up on?

Our house is mostly hard floors.

Hard floors are easy to clean.

But Blue prefers to puke on a rug.

Naturally, I Googled it.

Apparently, I’m not the only person who has asked this question.

The answer popped right up in my feed.

According to the internet, a textured rug gives a dog something to grip while she’s barfing.

A hard floor is too slippery for all the straining and contractions involved in vomiting.

Which makes perfect sense.

But still…

Why didn’t she bark to go outside?

So there I was, cleaning the carpet very, very early this morning.

And I started thinking…

Isn’t there a song called On the Rug Again?

I just can’t wait to go on the rug again.

Apparently, that’s Blue’s walk-on song.

She never misses her cue.
