Naturally I had other 'prettier' things planned for my blog post tonight, but somehow, domestic duties intervened. Lets just say that arriving home to find the dog shut in the laundry was not a good sign. And neither was the fact that his tail was firmly clamped between his legs. And dealing to this particularly unpleasant task is something Brunnell absolutely refuses to do. It is not, apparently, his job. It apparently is mine - by default. I won't go in to graphic detail. The 'job' involves a bucket of soapy water, rubber gloves, much toilet paper, usually scissors, a bath, and a shaggy spoodle called Bruno with the propensity for the odd 'dag' or two. It is not pleasant. Anyone who has ever complained about changing a babies poopy nappy has not had to clean a spoodle's bottom! So, I'm sorry, the tone of the blog will improve tomorrow.

P.S It is not Bruno's fault. It doesn't happen often (thankfully) and most of the time he is 'mummy's good boy'. And, it isn't that he is so very small, but the bone in this image is so very large!

ReplyDeleteHave a nice day,

Ah, the poopy bum. All dog owners, myslef included have had to wipe a dogs behind in our days!! The things we do for our beloved friends. That bone is as long as your cute little dog!
ReplyDeleteAccidents happen...and 'Mum' always makes things better! How adorable is Bruno?!

He is ultra adorable! That must surely cancel out the unpleasant realities of dog ownership?
ReplyDeleteYes but one look at that gorgeous face....I bet you couldn't stay upset or cranky for long xx
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I just had the same discussion of poop responsibility with my husband at the weekend. How did we get stuck with the job?
ReplyDeleteOh, but Bruno is so cute; I bet you can't stay mad at him for more than 5 minutes! Another funny thing...Apart from our daughters sharing the same name, my son Max was very, very nearly 'Bruno' we clearly have the same taste :O)
Is this where the term of endearment 'you're a dag' comes from? He's just a cute pooch! Mums always get the rough end of the stick.
ReplyDeleteLove the magazine collage too. Just missing a great big wall to put it on!
Ohh Amanda! Bruno is so sweet!!! I understand it hasn't been a very nice work, but...he's an adorable little baby...you can forgive him!!!!
ReplyDeleteVale
Oh my gosh Amanda you made me laugh!! I know EXACTLY what this job is like as yes, somehow it is always the woman's job!
ReplyDeletePoor little Bruno, he is such a sweety. My Molly would love him :)
Wow. It must be universal. Those tasks are always 'my' job too. I really think most men do not like to get their hands dirty.
ReplyDeleteThat is one supercute dog. And what a generous bone it's almost as big as his head!!

Oh dear my friend...I wish you much luck..I remember those doggie days. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYUK!!! VIN and I talked about getting a wee dog about 18 months ago, but the idea went away, this is a reminder that it was probably just as well. I had to look after those awful jobs when the children went through their pet phase. Cute little fella tho.
