First time.
“Grandma Dot, what happened?”
“I must have spilled some water.”
“Oh, ok.”
Second Time.
“Grandma Dot, your bed’s wet again.”
“Well I was hot last night and I must have sweat a lot.”
“Oh, ok.”
Third time.
“Gosh Grandma, how’d this happen?”
“I think the dog did it.”
“The dog??”
“Yes, I was asleep and I think tthe dog did it while I was asleep.”
MY HUGE MISTAKE! (To help Grandma save a little face.)
“Well, I’ll fix that Grandma.” I proceed to whack the dog with a dish towel. Dog perplexed. (I can tell by the way it looks at me.}
Fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. times.
“I think the dog did it.”
Out comes the dish towel. Dog now well past perplexed. ( I can tell by the way it growls at the dish towel drawer.}
Oh yeah, the expense.
Pet therapist…$65.00 an hour
Dog treats…$9.00 a bag
Time spent apologizing to the dog…40+ hours.
Time spent trying to explain my reasoning to wife and kids…Well, I ain’t quite got that done with that yet.
