A much too early start to a day when I stayed up too late the night before. I'm off work today, and will be taking CarrieAnne to the vet for her yearly check up. When I greeted Cissy this morning, she gave me her usual "rooo-rooo-rooooo" and rolled over onto her back. When she did that I noticed that her skin was red. Cissy's skin sometimes gets irritated from the folds of her stomach that traps moisture, and after a day or two of patting cornstarch on it to keep it dry, it's just fine. So, I grabbed the cornstarch and as I was putting it on her stomach, I noticed the slightly different texture that had turned slightly sticky and pasty from the moisture. And so I added a little more and that's when I saw it ....... The box I had in my hand wasn't cornstarch, but powdered sugar -- In my early morning haze, I had grabbed the wrong box from the cabinet. Of course I cleaned everything up with help from Cissy and a few onlookers who I think may have been laughing at me behind my back.

I can only hope that the vet seeing CarrieAnne this morning is a little more awake. Enjoy your Wednesday!

To cute, made my morning Kim. Hope all goes well with her check -up. Hugs Francine.
ReplyDeleteCissy must have loved helping you clean up :-) Hope all is well with CarrieAnne's check-up.
ReplyDeletethanks for the laugh! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my what a treat for her to lick all that icing sugar off this morning lol ! I cant say I have done that before in the mornings lol ! I have almost put the milk in cupboard till I caught myself doing it and thought um what the heck lol ! Hope the vet check up is all good. Thanks for sharing . Have a good week !
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing you don't need, a house full of dogs on a sugar high. Thanks Kim for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteA little sugar never hurts.
ReplyDeleteSamson Says: I wish my mommy would make a mistake like that!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Were you trying to "sweeten her up" for the vet? I think shes probably sweet enough already! How funny!
ReplyDeleteThree big licks and that would have been her " Sugar High" for the day. Hope the vet visit goes well. Cheers, Jean
ReplyDeleteThats too funny. I am sure she did not mind.
ReplyDeleteHope Carrie Ann is doing well. ANA
Ha ha ha, Cissy is plenty sweet already...no need to add sugar! Too funny Kim!
ReplyDeleteOh no! :) She'll be trying to sweat just so you'll break out the sugar again.
ReplyDeleteSorry, we're laughing here. Nice to know others do those things. At least the vet will think she's sweet.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Bella & Roxy
The vet DOES think she's sweet! :D That's exactly what I was going to say. Glad it didn't land her in a sticky situation :).
ReplyDeleteLOL! Too funny, Kim!!
ReplyDeleteNo complaints from Cissy!!
This is interesting as Sophie is having a problem too with moisture causing infection in those hidden areas. Never thought of corn starch to keep it dry. Will consider after infection is gone. Thanks and hope you had a great day off....after you woke up!!
That's funny. For a change it wasn't me. I hope she dries up and doesn't need a vet trip too.
ReplyDeletePowdered Sugar, that is funny! I assume Cissy did not mind being she is already so SWEET! Love the photos of your cute puppydogs. Enjoy your evening and Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteA sugar high for breakfast. It always makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one who makes these little mistakes.
ReplyDeleteWe hope Cissy didn't mind having her belly licked by the gang. That is a dogs dream come true.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness..that is too funny
ReplyDeleteBet that resulted in some nice belly licks! Barharhar, oh Mom!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
OMG, I do those half-awake morning brain farts all the time. I must say, yours was unique. Lovely pictures of the girls.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I'm so glad I came to visit today!! If I would have made that mistake with Gracie she'd have herself licked raw (if she could reach it) That's how much she loves sweets! Thanks for the laugh, Kim!
ReplyDeleteWhoops that could have been a really sticky situations.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
I have a feeling Carrie Ann loved all the attention she was getting!

ReplyDeleteWishing you and the pups a wonderful Easter weekend Kim!

LOL cornstarch, powdered sugar, its all white. :)
ReplyDeleteOh for the days when my days started with a powder sugar tummy rub.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my dogs all hope I make that mistake one of these days. I can imagine them all licking it up.
ReplyDeleteoh those darling smiling faces.
ReplyDeleteto wake up even groggily to that every day! ...
and sugar on tummies ...
some of my favorite things!!!!
xoxo
Thanks for the laugh! I was worried at first, that maybe there was open skin or a more serious problem. So nice, it was just a slight mistake. So funny. I am sure Cissy loved the extra attention!
ReplyDeleteHoping all went well with Carrie Ann.
Gus' Mom
