Hail To The New Puppy King!

Bosco the Rescue Puppy

The Grown Son adopted a shelter puppy.

And then his air conditioner died.

He and his dog have moved back home to wait out the HVAC repair and then some flooding damage repair.

This dog is adorable and sweet and smart and supposedly very easy to train.

BUT…

Yeah, there’s a but….

He’s still  just a puppy.

His name is Bosco,  but we’ve been calling him The Pee Pee King.

And a few other names that can’t be repeated.

He’s making progress with the house training.

But I still don’t trust him.

Seriously, how could anyone named The Pee Pee King be trusted?

He has stolen a ham sandwich, wrecked a window blind, destroyed a yoga mat, chewed through several leashes, and has serenaded more than one video call with separation-anxiety howing.

Today was the worst.

He was playing with something in the backyard.

I thought it was a bit of garbage.

Wrong!

It was a dead bird.

Ewwww.

I don’t know if he killed it or if he found it dead.

He’s a Bluetick Coonhound, a hunting breed, so maybe he did kill it.

Now his newest nickname is Dead Bird Breath.

Nobody was home so I had to shovel the dead bird myself.

Bosco, like Blue and Wrigley and all the family dogs before him, is destined to become the Best Dog Ever.

Just as soon as he finishes his reign as The Pee Pee King and Dead Bird Breath.

The Puppy Chewed Them Up

The Puppy Chewed Them Up

I once had a pair of shoes that I loved.

And then the puppy chewed them up.

Actually, he only chewed up the left one.

But the right one was rendered useless because one good shoe is of no use to me.

I threw the shoes in the garbage.

Later, I found them in my closet.

“Where did these come from?” I asked The Husband.

“I found them in the trash. They’re perfectly good. Why did you throw them out?”

I showed him the wrecked shoe.

And I threw them out again.

When we moved to Texas and I was unpacking a box, I found the shoes.

Again.

“Where did these come from?” I asked The Husband.

We proceeded to repeat our previous conversation.

Although he denied that we ever had ever spoken on this topic before.

I threw the shoes out again.

Today, much to my surprise, I found the shoes lined up neatly by the back door.

“Where did these come from?” I asked The Husband.

We proceeded to repeat the now-well-rehearsed conversation.

And he proceeded to deny, again, that we had ever spoken on this topic before.

I threw the shoes out again.

What do you want to bet that, like a bad penny, these shoes will show up again?
