The diaper change started like any other. Max smelled suspiciously fowl and I reluctantly dragged him to his change table to rectify the situation. Every time you hope that this is one of those small poos, that is completely caught by the little paper insert, thus making clean up easy. Not so. This one was everywhere. Smeared on Max's clothes, all over his body and soon on the stuffed animal he was holding to keep him placated. I managed to extract him from his newly decorated outfit and clean what mess I could off his body, and then I set him free for "air time". As you may have guessed, this was a mistake. When I emerged from washing his diaper in the toilet, there was a suspicious brown smear on the carpet, trailing off in the direction of Max. I ran to pick him up and dashed to his potty. To my delight, Max deposited most of the offending bowel movement into it and I praised him lavishly. Of course, I then had to tip him over my knee to wipe him up again. While I worked dutifully at this task, Max reached over to the bowl of water we keep to wet rags, and tipped it all over us both. I started swearing and attempting to extricate myself from the puddle. Our new dog Hailey, rushed to my aid, took a quick sniff at the potty, and then before I could stop her, downed Max's poo in one swallow.........She licks my face.
I can only surmise that it took a few hours before you felt jovial enough to post the details of this incident. I suggest you make sure to back this blog up occasionally. It will make for wonderful story-telling in later years.
ReplyDeleteShe did it again today! AUGH! Stupid dog!
ReplyDeleteI can remember our lab doing that when my little brother was crawling, etc... It was especially creepy when he had eaten a pastel of green paint the previous day and he had "martian poop"
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Max will be thrilled when we bring out this particular post at his wedding!
