Because I was so not feeling it.
It was not, however, as bad as it looked or that I had originally thought because the complete organizational job I did in there back in September was still partially there. I just had to uncover it.
See?
Procrastination is my middle name.
In other news, Brisco Darling will go in dark and early in the morning for his teeth cleaning. Why in the h.e. double hockey sticks it is necessary for him to be there before the roosters crow is beyond me but it seems that is always the case even with any type of human surgery.
Not that this is surgery but dogs do have to undergo anesthesia in order to have their teeth cleaned which is why it costs about triple the amount of having my own teeth cleaned. And also leaves me in a state of worry until I can go and pick him up because Worry is my other middle name. I have a few.
I'm trying to get Li'l Bit out of having hers cleaned this time. Hers aren't nearly as bad as his and the dog doc suggested I try an oscillating toothbrush, telling me that dogs seem to do better with those than with the back and forth brushing of a regular toothbrush.
Although I strongly suspected this would not be the case, Dracen and I bought them both battery operated SpongeBob (because the kiddie ones looked to be the only ones that would fit in their mouths) toothbrushes at the grocery store yesterday and let's just say that she did not take to it the way I had hoped. I only wish I had a video of it because the look she gave me just before she began thrashing her head from side to side in an effort to escape was all kinds of priceless.
Maybe I should've gone with Spiderman. Dracen was worried that "they" (I guess the cashier, bagger and other Food Lion shoppers) would think that the SpongeBob toothbrushes were for him. Possessing a toothbrush shaped like a talking sponge nerd apparently becomes uncool around the age of eight and a half.
And now that I've seen it in writing?
I think that may just be a good thing.
Oh man, brushing dog teeth is not a fun adventure. But it is funny. And Spongebob is SO for 8 year old, not 8 AND A HALF year olds ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly! That "half" is very important to and in the life of a kid. ;)
DeleteI think your closet looks downright spiffy...I need to work some on mine! Our doxie needs to have her teeth cleaned soon, but she's an old gal and I just hate to put her through it.
ReplyDeleteI hate having it done. They are so pitiful afterwards. I was unaware of Dachshunds being prone to teeth problems. They told me Dixie must have been an exception because at 14, her teeth looked better than these young ones I have now!
DeleteYou must have been named after me then, because procrastination is my FIRST name! OH, and do you hang up your boots?
ReplyDeleteThe toothbrushes for the dogs are cracking me up!
Yeah, I started hanging the boots when I did that serious cleaning and organizing of my closet a few months ago. Works so much better!
DeleteI toss the good will bags in my car when they are full. Then when I go by one, I already have it with me. :) Sadly, it's the only way things get done around here.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I am jealous of your closet space. We have one closet for the ENTIRE house. Storage is a huge issue here.
I should really go put that bag in my car right this minute but then I'd just ride it around in my car for three months!
DeleteOne closet!? Oh, I would be in trouble!
Your closet looks great! I'm a huge procrastinator too! I think I may be too old to fix that now. I hope the cleaning goes well!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why I could never have a dog... sending them to the vet and putting them under anesthesia to get their teeth cleaned? I'm NOT criticizing, it's just something I wouldn't do... which is why I shouldn't have a dog, no?
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm hoping to clean out my closet and room next week when hubby is out of town:) I guess I've been pretty busy. I had about 4 posts to catch up on.
