It Started When The Golden Destroyer Rolled in Moose Poop...

What a day.  I was fine - I got to visit with Buffy the Mane Slayer and now have gorgeous tresses.  When I got home Devoted Spouse was outside with manly man power tools cutting wood for chair seats for church.  Fun.  He did 16.  Ouch.  I thought I would be nice and feed the Golden Destroyer and take her outside.  I did not use her leash.  She found the closest dead thing (generically referred to as Moose Poop) and rolled in it.  It was black and greasy and gooey and she stunk to high heaven.  I quickly blocked off the house - no access to any furniture or the bedrooms.  Then I tried to spray her with Doggie Smell Good - fat lotta good that did.  I had an early evening appointment.  When I came home, up to the shower the whole family went to scrub EmmaLou but we couldn't find the doggie shampoo.  I searched high and low repeatedly.  Finally I found it and much to my dismay I found something else along with the shampoo.  I found that my favorite appliance in the kitchen...my 190 degee instant hot water dispenser had rusted out the bottom and the cupboard wall next to it (under the kitchen sink) was warped meaning it had definitely leaked sometime in the past.  So maybe EmmaLou rolling in moose poop was a good thing?  All I know is Wednesday Devoted Spouse will be going to the Big Orange Box of Toys to find a new instant hot water dispenser for mama so she can have her cups of tea when she desires.  See all that dark stuff on bottom of the white box in the picture?  The white box is the instant hot water heater and all that gook is not a good sign. That's where it has rusted out.  Ruh-roh.   Oh crap on a crutch!

  1. I so cannot stand it when Lucy or Rosey roll in something that is beyond words disgusting. Rosey stinks most of the time anyway and this just makes it so much worse. I think they do it just to piss me off.

    Sorry about your hot water thingy. I use my Keurig coffee maker for tea hot water. Serves two purposed. Great coffee and nice hot water.

  2. Finaly Blogger allowed me back in to MY OWN BLOG to post a reply. LOL EmmaLou goes to dead things like it's radar and then rolls and rolls and comes inside so proud of herself. It is a nightmare. Devoted Spouse is going to Lowes or Home Despot today to find a replacement bcoz I cannot live without it. And, yes, another appliance bites the dust! LOL

  4. My dearest Coco - You are no worse than EmmaLou since she actually ROLLS in it. Moose Poop is my term for any dead thing (her fav treat is dead birds and dead baby squirrels or bunnies) or bunny poop pellets. You looked up Moose in OH - I think I will remind ur mom of that on occasion - since she is so highly educated and a librarian and all -- ROFLMAO Moose in OH snort...ooops peed a little. snort
