The girl who cried turd

We have a Shetland Sheepdog named Allie. Allie is almost 3 years old. She is obnoxious & lovable all at the same time. Breena adores her. Eli likes to pull her hair. Allie is awesome with our kids. She never snarls when Eli gets a handful of fur and she playfully chases Breena all around our house. But their are two things I really dislike about Allie: 1) She barks all the time. 2) She is super furry
.
On rare occasions when Allie comes in from going potty outside she brings a little present in. Without getting too graphic I will just say it gets caught in her bum hair. The small remnant of her business eventually lands on my floor. Breena saw me pick it up to discard of it once & was obsessed with talking about how "Allie poopy on floor". Since then, every speck of dirt, piece of mud or grain of sand is an Allie poopy. Breena tells me she sees an Allie poo at least once per day. I have stopped believing her. So when I heard her yell, "Mommy! Allie poopy on floor! " on Tuesday morning I chose not to go check the scene. But she persisted, "Allie Poopy! Ew Allie!". Again I ignored her. Eli was on one of his usual tours of our house. I walked to the hallway to bring him back to his toys and there it was- an Allie poo! And Eli was headed right for it! I quickly removed Eli and barricaded off the infected area. I guess I should take Breena more seriously from now on...

(side note: Dave wanted to be sure he got credit for the clever title of the post. he thinks I always take credit for his jokes- I tell him he is just jealous that I am so funny!)

  1. That is so funny! Isn't it crazy how you can mention something one time and a kid just gets super obsessed with it?!
