Oh, what a "fun" morning I had. Started as usual (way too early), stumbled downstairs to put the hounds out, hit the restroom, made my (necessary) cup of coffee, then let the hounds in.

Yikes!!!! one of Abby's rear flanks is covered in poo. No idea how this happened (sat in it? fell in it?) Anyway, I snatch her by the collar, as I can not have her jump on my new furniture like that nor run upstairs on the carpet. Thought goes thru my head, was it like this when she got up, did she do it in the bed.... Ewww is any on me??? (Nope! none on me!)

So there I am, t-shirt and panties, hanging on to her collar to keep her in check, working our way to the counter and sink. (Outside hose isn't hooked up since it is supposed to be winter ) So I am groping for the paper towels, then wiping off the mess with one hand and holding on for dear life to a wiggling hound. Jake (always helpful) thinks she is getting extra "attention" so he is jumping into the fray.

Get the bulk of the mess off of Abby, then, while still holding on to her, fighting Jake off, I am groping under the sink for a handi-wipe, trying to wet it in the sink and load it up with the closest soap (dish washing soap).

Finally managed to get Abby all cleaned off. Went back upstairs to get ready for work. Double checked the bed (just in case! Nope!)

Needless to say, this put me a bit behind and I was late for work.

My boss is really cool, and would have even known I was late if I didn't tell him, but I relayed my tale... he just laughed... He loves hearing my Jake and Abby antics.

Don’t ya just love to start off the day with fun stuff like this – sounds like you have a great boss though which helps on these kind of days –

You didn’t mention if she had any on her tonight – so am I correct to think all is well in the poop department – and it was just a fluke?

I do have a great boss. That is why I have stayed with him for 20 years. I know I could make more $$$ in a big firm, but the "little" things mean a lot (the freedom, the lax dress code, etc...)

As for Abby, it seems to be a (disgusting) fluke. Her after dinner poo was normal, nothing on her.

What was on her this morning could not have happened in the act where it was, she either had to sit in it or stumble and fall into it.

One thing can be said for sure about being a basset mom, you never know what new "adventure" each day will bring!

That's for sure - and the fact that we’re sure to get a lot of laughs every day from one silly thing or the other that they’ll do.

I remember being late to work once due to a basset incident. Had one trap a skunk under the house for a few hours. I don't think my secretary believed me until I showed up around noon smelling of skunk.

Haha! Flukey poop!

Not funny, but funny all the same! I was away for the week, so pooches got left 9 hrs for 5 days, opposed to only 2+3. Poor hubby came home to loose stool on the rug(it wad his own fault from sharing his dinner)

I walked in from the airport to find him steam cleaning the family room carpet to het rid of all evidence, but I got an hour earlier flight to surprse him, and surprise him and the steam vac I did!

Wow, between this and a visit from Flo, you've had a busy homecoming!

eclairs mom

Ill take it all in my stride! Hot shot carpet spot cleaner is my friend!

One of my "best" friends is the steam cleaner...
