A Mommy, Daughter, Dog conversation

Our golden retriever, Chemi, is always eating things he shouldn't. Mulch, sticks, and nastiness that I'll spare you from. Sometimes he "gets sick," and leaves a disgusting mess and stain on the carpet that adds to the neverending list of daily chores. He just made one of those messes, and here is the conversation that took place while getting dressed.

Vivian: Mommy, Daddy needs to clean up this MESS!

Me: No, I need to get it cleaned up. Daddy works all day, and cleaning up and taking care of you kids is my job.

V: Well, Daddy can help to clean up too.

Me: Yes, he does help with things sometimes, but Mommy will take care of Chemi's mess.

V: (leans down to Chemi and talks to him) You know, Chemi, you should not puke on the floor. We puke in toilets. Right, Mommy? We should puke on the toilet, right?

Me: Right. If we can make it to the toilet that's where we get sick.

V: See, Chemi. You should try to get to the toilet next time.


I know the dogs think they are human....apparently my daughter thinks so too!

Ha! That's so funny! I WISH dogs would puke in the toilet (and pee and poop too). I wish they could babysit, too. lol!
