Knees and butts

I am amazed by how quickly Lilli picks up words lately. I can say something one time and she's got it. She doesn't always remember it, but at least she can repeat it. This morning she learned knee and immediately went to Bob and pointed out his knees to him. He was amazed as well because just this morning she didn't know her knee from her elbow.

Speaking of knees and elbows, let's talk about butts. Namely, our dog's butt. I think I have mentioned here that we have had problems with our dog's butt. I'm sure many of you readers probably don't have a good relationship with your dog's butt. Afterall, stinky poop comes out of there (which you usually have to pick up) and dogs are not known for their fresh and clean smell either. Add some fiber supplements in there and you've got some extra gas too. Mmmmm. Well, besides thinking it was kind of funny (if disgusting) when Lilli tried to stick her finger in there, we have hated our dog's butt for many years. First were the soupy poos, the worst kind of poos in the world to pick up. Then came the occasional accidental anal gland expressions (i.e. he gets anal gland juice on the furniture and makes the house and his butt smell like dead rotting fish). We got the soupy poop thing fixed up, but then came the pools of anal juice, mixed in blood, on our sheets! Boy did we hate that dog's butt.

Now that dog's butt has cost us a ton of money, but at least we may now come to at least have a working relationship with it. As of yesterday, we said goodbye to the anal glands. I am going to pick him up this afternoon, and I feel so bad for him. He will be wearing the cone of shame, but at least he won't smell like a fish market. Now let' s just hope that we haven't sacrificed his good ol' sphincter control. That might send our relationship with his butt right out the door.

Poor old Fishbutt. I sure hope this worked. Dogs are just disgusting. I've pulled so many things out of Zonk's ass: dental floss, tampons, socks, rope, etc. After both mutts covered our kitchen floor in poop, diarrea and urine (after coming home from 3 weeks at the kennel and having their catastrophic "accident") I'm amazed we can even be civil to the little orcs. But you just clean it up and hope it doesn't ever happen again and pet their silly heads. I hope we're all getting good karma from taking care of these creatures. Maybe when we die we get to go to dog heaven!
