Po, Po Doggie

Some of you may already have heard this, but I'm writing this down so I'll have the memory forever. Well, as long as the paper it's printed on will last. Sorry if you've heard this, but it's just too funny to not share.

It's always an anxious moment when all is quiet and Zak is outside with the dog. In fact, we try not to allow Zak quiet moments with the dog cause we're just not sure what he's come up with. He's never mean, but he can get quite creative with the things he and the dog do. For instance, my mantra goes something like this:

"Zak, put the dog down; don't touch the dog while he's eating; Let the dog go potty by himself!!(this is a particular favorite as I am so COMPLETELY against fecal matter of any kind); don't put the dog in the BBQ; don't pick the dog up by the head; let the dog be alone; don't lay on the dog; don't bury the dog under the blankets; don't put the dog in the hamper." You get the idea. Well, I now have to add just one more. Here's how it went down:

I had let the dog out to do his business one evening a couple of days ago. Zak HAD to go out too. Whatever right? I was busy cooking dinner and I just wanted to get it done without burning it. As I finish cooking, I realize that it's fairly quiet. Now remember what I said- ALL IS NOT WELL WHEN IT'S QUIET. Okay- so I yell for Teaghan to just check on the dog and make sure that Zak is being nice. She walks out the back door and then comes running back in and says, "Mom, the dog is wet." I'm wondering how the dog could possibly get wet, maybe Zak turned on the hose. So we walk out onto the patio and there's no water from the hose. Truly perplexed now, I ask Zak how the dog got wet. The standard response was forthcoming: "I don't know." I happen to glance down at my son and notice that his pants are crooked, that the waist is all turned over and tucked in. Are you clued in yet as to what happened?
I then ask Zak if he pee-peed outside, to which his response was, "yes." Now, I don't know if he purposely peed ON the dog, or if the dog ran through the stream, but as Zakry thinks that if the dog can pee outside then so can he, I imagine we're going to have other episodes of the dog getting urinated on.
SIGN ME UP!!
So I have decided that I am going to name any and all stories 'The Dog Chronicles.' One never knows what will happen when two toddlers plus one puppy get together.
