Wordless Wednesday...Cooling off in the Pool

Bulldog In A Box!

Some Friday fun!  My Bully Diesel had some fun with this cardboard box!

Wordless Wednesday...Cuddle Time with Diesel

Wordless Wednesday...Diesel Wants to Go Outside!

Saturday was a day of cleaning. It was so nice outside.  Diesel was sick of cleaning and wanted to go outside instead!

Wordless Wednesday...Diesel's Nookie!

Diesel likes Tennis Balls and not the cheap one that you can get for $1.00 for like 12 of them.  She ripes them apart in about 2 seconds.  She has a fancy for the expensive Wilson official tennis balls.  She will sit for hours and hours and chew or suck on them.  I like to think she is soothing herself.  She make funny sounds and will put herself to sleep.  I should have taken a video but the Hubs thought I was stupid and would embarrass her.  I'll get it next time the hubs is out in his garage.  

My Dog wear's Diapers!

My dog wears Pull-Ups-yes I said Pull-Ups.  You know the ones that are extra large and made for older children when they have accidents at night. The official name brand is Good Nights.  I have found that they work the best for her when she is in heat.  The traditional dogie diaper does not work for her-since her lack of any sort of tail.  But we have designed a great system.  It includes, 2 bungee cords and a harness.  You hook the bungees around the sides of the Pull-Up and hook it to the harness.  They stay up and protect against accidents. 


Well last night I found out exactly how much those Pull-Ups can handle.  


She usually sleeps threw the night but has the occasional "Mom get your butt out of bed cuz I gotta pee" in the middle of the night.  Well last night she woke me up, I stumbled to the kitchen to let her out and sat down on my chair at the kitchen table and laid my head on the table to wait for her to come back in.  I fall back asleep just a little when I here her run up the stairs on the deck.  I sit up in my chair and make my way to the door.  As I open the door my eyes come into focus and shock sets in.  "OH MY GOD! I FORGOT TO TAKE OF HER DIAPER!" I let her in and now totally awake and not wanting to see what surprises she left me take her Pull-Up off to find not just #1 but #2 also! OMG the last thing I wanted to do at midnight!


You could tell she was embarrassed.  I tried to tell her it was OK but she would not listen.  I told her to sit and stay while I tried to figure out what to do with the contents of Pull-Up.  I tell her to stay  again and go to the bathroom to dispose of the #2.  Thank GOD it was firm and not runny!  I come back to the kitchen to find that she was not there anymore.  I start to yell "Diesel, where are you?" I guess a little to loud and a few to many times cuz from our bedroom my Husband says "She's in here" UGH! NO she can't be in our room on the carpet before I get to wash her!  


I drag her from our bedroom and I mean drag, she was so embarrassed she wanted noting to do with me.  I get her to the bathroom where I get a wash cloth out and start to clean her up. 


15 minutes later we have a clean dog, a new Pull-up on and I'm back in bed.


Clearly I was not awake......

If you could change anything about your pet, what would it be?

As you all know I love my dog.  She is more then just a dog she is part of the family.  Really she doesn't know that she is a dog; she thinks she is human. 

Mama Kat's writing prompt this week ask " If you could change anything about your pet, what would it be?" 

I would give Diesel the ability to talk.  Most times we just talk for her.  She give you a look that explains everything.  When she is discussed she mumbles "um-hum" or just shrugs hers shoulders or breathes deep. 


I would love to give her the ability to speak in the human language.  Then when I tuck her in at night she could tell me "Thank you Mama-I love you" but for now I will have to settle with the "Um-hum"

Now if I could get the cats (all 5 of them) to stop jumping on the car and to go outside to go potty all would be good in my world.

Wordless Wednesday....A Diva Dog's Life!

A day in the Life Of Diesel! 

Enough, Its NAP TIME!

Wordless Wednesday.....it's My Couch MOM!

My Diva Bulldog Diesel pretty much has the run of the house during the day, OK all the time. She made it very clear to me that even though I was home that the couch was off limits to me.

Finally yesterday, she allowed me some room on the couch.

As long as I don't disturber her sleep, I can share the couch with her.

Really Mom....you can go back to work anytime now...I want my couch back!
