Someone pooped in the house last night.
(A Casey Story) …. A Tattle Tale written by mommy.
This is Casey’s mommy reporting in and tattle tailing on our new sweet doggy, who “never does nothing wrong”.
For some reason, Casey felt the need to go potty and not let anybody know. That is the second time this has happened. The first time was understandable because it was that night in August when he was adopted and brought home to our house. Everything was new to him that night. Hubs and I realized that with a “Rescue” dog you don’t know where your dog came from and whether they’re potty trained or not… however, when they are a “year and three months oldish”, they pretty much should know how to tell you they need to go poo poo. NO?
As I was cleaning up the dinner dishes the other night I wondered where Casey went. Hubs was sitting at his laptop nearby and so I asked him: “Hey, have you seen the dog lately?”
And hubs looked around and said, “yes, he’s laying right beside me on the floor by the door.”
So, I finished washing the dishes and I realized that’s when I smelled something very funny. And by funny, I don’t mean laughable. I mean strange.
An unusual scent, and not a good unusual. Asking myself “Who pooped?” Wasn’t necessary.
Casey looked normal, calm and relaxed.
That’s exactly how I look … after I do what he just did.
Yep, you guessed it. There was a fresh pile on the stairs.
Looking back on my reaction, I’m not quite sure what I did after “losing my cool”. But I do remember that I cleaned it up and I showed the poop to him. And I said a few STRONG things to him, but he looked right through me as if he didn’t know what I was doing by showing it to him.
He DID know that I was not happy! Trust me!
Hubs then said something like this to me: “in the OLD days people would shove the dog's nose into the poop so that he’d know how upset you are.”
I replied, “Oh, I think he pretty much knows I’m upset at him because he had a look on his face that said: ‘mommy, I promise I won’t ever do that again’!
But who are we kidding?
His “scared puppy look” means that he WILL do it again… it’s just a matter of time.
So, I quickly wrote this before Casey had time to write his version of the story and by writing his version, he would try to win you over with some soft wording and his usual sweet looks.
Don’t let his looks fool you one bit! He is definitely a Scamp!
Thank you for reading my tattle tale on Casey.

Thank you to the usual suspects below and those writers that I love to read as well. (Also, I’m mentioning that Tai Le Grice is back to writing and so it’s a special day to introduce her to our new doggy.)
