... you have all heard the saying that staying with other people's kids before you have any is the perfect form of 'birth-control'...
... for those of you who don't (yet) have a member of the canine clan, but who are considering the possibility...
... I present to you...
Canine-control:
Exhibit A: the "Rainy Day Welcome"*
* note - this was the 2nd time in one day... right after a floor cleaning... and right before I got the 'dog foot-wiping' towel
... realizing that this was more than a 'wipe' job, I new he would need a tub... downstairs... and across the "once-white-but-now-more-on-the-brown-side" carpet... and into the bathroom...
... which presents...
Exhibit B: the tubby tanandrum:
I grabbed Sarah to hold down my position of keeping the dog IN the tubby (who desperately wanted out) while keeping the baby OUT of the tubby (who desperately wanted in)(... notice the 'mud-drag marks across the floor... now picture those marks across the before-mentioned carpet... )
... which brings us to Exhibit C: Wishy washy water...
mmmmm, yummy! Doesn't that just make you want to take a little dip?! Yes, this IS the tubby where I bathe the kiddos. Joy....
... and yet, if you are still not convinced by any of the above, picture being very tired, ready to head into bead, having visions of snuggling up in your soft, fluffy, down comforter... and you come face to face with...
Exhibit D
... yep Canine control at it's finest... ;)

hmmm...
maybe it's a secret blessing Mo's elergic to dogs!!
Which begs the question - why it doesn't work with you? Sorry - not fun!
Good grief Jen. Will that dog never grow out of "wild and out of control"? How old is he now? Man you've had such adventures with that dog, mainly cleaning adventures! Not like you don't clean up enough after 4 kids, you get to add a big muddy dog to the mix. You poor thing!
