did you know

Did you know that it is exactly 17 steps between the hallway upstairs and the foyer in our new house?

How do I know this?

Because that’s how many steps Sophie took between the time she stepped in dog poo and the time I realized she was still running.

With poo still on her foot.

Seventeen little foot marks… from the hallway… through my bedroom… down the stairs.

Turns out the dog ate one of Jude’s Thomas the Train board books. And then bit into the tube of Desitin.

Evidently the combination of cardboard and zinc oxide turned his stomach.

He then proceeded to vomit three times.

It hasn’t been the best day ever.

BUT… yay! I am finally online again!! This big ol’ Mac looks positively HUGE after staring at my iPhone for the last six weeks. I can’t wait to check in on you guys, I’ve missed my Google Reader terribly!

    The only reason I am laughing is because Caymus threw up 5 times yesterday, and one of Ainsley's little pals stepped in a lovely pile of it…. GROSS…..
    Yesterday must have been one of those kind of days…
    Hoping today is better!!!

    Welcome back to your Mac too!

    Hugs,
    Diana

    Hi,

    I use Kids 'N' Pets http://www.kidsnpetsbrand.com/

    I found at Walmart, works great for these situations and stains that have been sitting on your carpet a long time.

    I buy at least 2 bottles at a time!

    Hope it helps!

    Oh my!! Sorry to hear your dog left you a little unwelcome housewarming present. Worse yet, that there were 17 little reminders of it all over the house. ICK!!

    Glad you're back in the Land of Blog!
