    The Poop Thief

    One of the best things about being a dog mom is the amount of time and energy you get to spend monitoring poop. In case you ever worry that my life is getting too glamorous.

    I admit, I’m kind of a slob. My desk is a disaster. There are usually about 147 things on it, only 8 of which are strictly necessary to my workflow.

    In the interest of not going completely insane due to my dogs barking at every single thing that has the audacity to make any kind of a sound outside of our house, I play music via the iHeartRadio app through the living room TV so it’s audible throughout the house.

    So I DID write a blog post yesterday…

    • posted in Rants

    • / tags: blogtober

    Granted, it wasn’t great literature, but it was a post, and it was written before midnight, and it would have kept me on track for only being one post behind on Blogtober.

    And then it vanished.

    I was looking at the word cloud on Ye Olde Blog today. The widget I chose allows a fair amount of customization, but is still, at the end of the day, a thing built to randomize shit.

    You know those dogs that aren’t quite like other dogs? The ones with malformed or missing limbs, or mangled faces, or no eyes? You see those dogs, be it in real life or on the Internet, and you know some shit went down somewhere. Birth defect, injury, abuse, something went very wrong at some point in each of those dog’s lives and rendered them different dogs than nature intended.

    I missed posting to the blog yesterday. The reason for that is, what should have been about 45 minutes out of my morning turned into over 3 hours. That time was spent at the vet’s office with this little girl.

    I have a pan that is dishwasher-safe but that will hold a lot of water at the end of the cycle. So I try (and often fail) to remember to take it out of the dishwasher as soon as possible. My usual reminder is to put the measuring spoon I use to feed the dogs in the dishwasher because I have to grab that at certain times otherwise there shall be no peace as my poor dogs wither away to nothing.

    This morning as I was putting away groceries I said to myself “that’s a weird-looking bird and why do they have a bird on the box anyway?” and then I realized I should probably have more coffee.
