Mooja & Me

So Doug and I acted like a couple of teenagers who don't have to work or take care of an almost 2-year-old this weekend and watched THREE movies -sheesh. One of the movies we watched was Marley and Me. Thus, we were feeling pretty guilty over Mooja how neglected he is and such. We start spoiling him a little, letting up on the couches to snuggle, going for long walks, going to the park, we even gave him bone from our ribs from dinner tonight!

What do we get in return? Another Marley and Me moment as Mooja doesn't even go to the door to tell me he has to urinate and goes right over to the love seat, lifts his leg, and showers the carpet and love seat. Now maybe you pity the dog because we hadn't taken him out. Wrong. He had been outside for an hour earlier. Not only that, he KNOWS that if he is going to go and we can't take him out at that moment (not that this happens all the time, but used to happen when West was first born and I couldn't take him when it was freezing and Weston was awake, etc.), but he goes to the kitchen at least and pees in there on the tile, where it is easier to clean up. Apparently that wasn't good enough of a spot for him. I'm sure you're laughing at my plight, but I am infuriated.

that's not funny! I haven't seen marley and me because the book infuriated me. I couldn't even finish it I was so Bugged! One chaotic thing after the next. I've heard it's good, but I can't bring myself to watch it yet. Dogs are fun and cute, but they don't rule.

That is why we will NEVER get a dog!

Oh boy! I would be pretty ticked too. I haven't seen that movie yet. I heard it is really sad so I'm hesitant because I'm the biggest baby when it comes to sad stuff in movies. Good luck with the dog!

Yes, that is the kind of experience I have with doggies

Oh Stef, you know Marly and Me had the same effect on us...Brodey became an 'indoor' lab after I watched that story. The transition was smooth for the most part, but we did have one poopie incident where he BARELY missed the hardwood floor by about 1 cm. Instead, he got the squishy #2 on the oriental rug in the dining room. I feel your pain sister!!

When I watched the movie I cryed and cryed, it made me definitly realize even more how much I loved Tramp, so i understand completely.

I totally understand how you feel! Our dog Tyke has been acting up so much since we brought the baby home. I am ALWAYS cleaning- either its the baby's diapers, spit up or whatever else he manages to make a mess of or its the dog going potty where he shouldn't. I swear that dog gets punished so much that he doesn't even care anymore when he gets in trouble!

I'm potty training Bryce right now...I feel your pain! Oh he knows alright. He knows exactly what he is doing when he sneaks into the other room to do his thing! Little stinker.

Oh, I would be mad at Duke if he did that, too! I totally want to see that movie, though.

I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa Briggs. He was a neat guy (he was our sealer when we got married too) :) My thoughts are with your family.
