THAT person?!?


Oh no.  I was that person today.  You know...the one who holds their dog in the car so they can see out the window.  Couldn't believe it was me....that person.

So we went to pick up the pooch this afternoon.  We get there with the biggest carrier we had.  Thought we were right on track.  Well, the dog wasn't going to fit in the box....no how no way.  
She doubled in size from the last time we saw her 2 weeks ago.  So, I had no choice but to cart her on my lap.  I pretended like I didn't care....but, if the puppy was going to pee on me....I was NOT going to be a happy person.  

As we were leaving the breeders house, she mentioned that they can get car sick.  GREAT.  I get car sick too...now we have two weenie car riders in our house.

Sure enough.  7 minutes from our house....she started those horrible noises..you know....the ones dogs make right before they toss their cookies.  For whatever reason, Shorty had a plastic bag in his hand....I held it over her face and she barfed in the bag.  Awesome.

As I was wiping her face off....I looked over my shoulder at the car sitting next to us.  Guess they saw the whole thing transpire while we were at the stop light.  

Here I am with this Poodle in my lap wiping its face with a baby wipe.  Excuse me...but, could the real Mrs. Short please raise her hand?  I had to laugh at myself....even thinking like that.

Amazing how you can find yourself doing something you never thought you would.    I really do like the dog....she has been as good as you could ask for.  Well...at least for now. ;)  

Reminds me to never say never.  Cause it will always come back and haunt you.

Off to paint my sweet Poodle's toenails a nice shade of fuchsia.  :)
