A call to the culprit, who was not happy about leaving his job undone...

Almost on Time!
With Carl working nights for now, that leaves yours truly to get the dogs walked and fed in the morning. Being a bit obsessive compulsive, I try to stay on schedule in the morning by doing each task at the same time. But for some reason, if I end up getting behind, I can never make up that lost time and I end up being late for work. That's what happened on Friday morning. While I did oversleep just a little, I was doing okay with my time. I was all ready for work--With efficiency and focus the dogs had all been walked, fed, talked to and hugged--I let them outside one last time, and to get them to come back inside, I gave them a treat. All the dogs were happy and accounted for...Except for one little sheep...

And I was late for work. You just can't make up the time it takes to give a dog a 'quick' bath!

That look on his face in the last picture is priceless - you know, the "I know I've done something I shouldn't have, but how can you possibly be angry with someone as cute as me?" look. Our Frankie has that look down to a T...
ReplyDeleteAnd after getting groomed!
ReplyDeletehe he.......boys will be boys
ReplyDeleteGuilty as charged! He looks so pitiful and sorry Kim! What dog-owner hasn't seen that look?
ReplyDeleteOh, dear me! There's just no way to hide the fact that you've been up to mischief in the back yard when you're white, is there?
ReplyDeleteHaha ~ but oh how much fun to have a quick dig in the mud!!! :)

tee he he he he
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't laugh. I'm sure that, at the time, it wasn't the least bit funny. I hope you did what I do once I realize that it's a done deal and I WILL be late: I stop hurrying and just enjoy a little extra time at home...
;-)
Gotta love 'im! :)
ReplyDeleteAww, he looks sorry, you'll just have to take his word for it.
ReplyDeleteI've tried doing quick baths, it never works that way :)
Hugs,

Little rascal, that Charlie. Looks a bit like a little boy that just ate a huge piece of chocolate cake Mom was saving for company! :)
ReplyDeleteOh bless his heart!!! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHe looks so guilty. And cute!
ReplyDeleteMany years ago I was going to a ball (those were the days!) and was all ready to go in my ball gown. I let my dog out for a last toilet stop but she wouldn't come back in. Turns out she was experiencing a bit of a problem shaking off her poo (sorry, there's no nice way to put that!). That ball gown took ages to get into, there was no way I was going to be able to take it off so I had to wash her bottom wearing the ball gown. A very surreal moment I can tell you!

Can a dog look perfectly contented ? The proof is in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteHa! What cute photos!! I feel your pain though, I've been running right along, counting the minutes, and then one of my two pulls some lovely little number such as this.
ReplyDeleteHave a great remainder of the weekend.

I bet it was a good morning for your pup!
ReplyDeleteSam
Don't you hate it when they do that? Very familiar story. Loved the photographs.
ReplyDeleteOh that little rat--but oh so adorable!!! I hope your boss is understanding? I assume yes but know how these things go :)
ReplyDeleteMy little George has caused me to be late due to him getting in mud--I can’t tell you how many times.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie....what a mischievous monkey! You have to admire their dedication to an idea and persistence in carrying it out to completion...you are an example to me Charlie!
ReplyDeleteTina xo
The big rascal! He just had to see what effect mud would have on his new do, didn't he? He is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteAh! Mud! Gotta love it...and can't stay away...even when hoomans are on a schedule!!! Guess what!? I got SPRAYED by a skunk last night around MIDNIGHT....2 baths later, and 2 am....we sill have the smell lingering in the house...it may have been carried up into the heating ducts, and spread into places that shouldn't smell...what an expected event! Any indoor fumagating suggestions?! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet hugs,

Hi there, I can't believe the cute look he is trying to give you so he doesn't get in trouble. So sorry your Friday started out so behind with work. Hey, do you take vitamin D3? I know it helps us a lot during winter-with not seeing the sun as much. Wish we lived closer so you could use us as a get-away. Hope you are having a restful but enjoyable day.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Noreen
Rob and I are both laughing. This looks like an instant replay of one of our recent mornings. Why is it always the white ones who most enjoy playing in the dirt?
ReplyDeleteMorgan says, "Right on!"

Those pictures are priceless! Charlie's expression on the last one is too funny. I hope you are having a nice and restful Sunday.--Inger
ReplyDeleteHa...he even looks guilty!! That's th only thing wrong with this time of the year...all that mud comes in too!!
ReplyDeleteHeeHee...the look on his face says 'Uh-OH, I'm in trouble!'
ReplyDeleteYes, you are Charlie...yes you are!
Sorry - I don't think that I was supposed to laugh but I did! He looked so guilty and so dirty!
ReplyDeleteYes, there's no such thing as a "quick dog bath"!
One time, I was late for work because I was bringing my very elderly Lab with me. He, unfortunately, pooped in the car and then lay in it, squishing it all over the place, before I could pull over. I had to turn around and go home to clean the dog and the car. I missed the entire morning of work!
Thanks for your kind words about "my mistake" that I freaked out about yesterday. All seems well.
Scrolling down and seeing that face was the BEST! Soooooooo cute. I know that is a rough way to start the day, but it brought the rest of us some joy to see his face :)
ReplyDeleteIs Charlie all nice and clean and smelly good now? He is sorry, I am sure. He doesn't want to be in the dog house...... he was just doing a mud bath,

If you stick the muddy ones in the kitchen [or where ever] and just let the mud dry during the day, you can brush it off at night. There will be a few muddy paw prints on the floor, which is the SOP around here, anyway. Bet you're REALLY looking forward to your trip to TN now. Is he one of the doggies going with you?
ReplyDeleteJed & Abby
Great last picture - looking mighty pleased with himself:)

Oh this really made me laugh! He appears to be quite pleased with himself doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteVery cute pic. What a naughty pup! You know, I think everyone with a white dog has one or two pics like that. Lol! Mine likes to stick nearly his entire head in mole holes. I feel your pain! :)
