Company Is Coming For My Birthday

My husband knew I would break down and clean something. Because company is coming tomorrow, for my birthday. I am coughing, spitting and snarling up Great Dane mix puppy hair. I made the mistake of starting to clean the living room. Half way through, it is impossible to stop. The puppy in question is following me around, concerned, hoping something tasty will fall out of my mouth. Welcome to my world.

The puppy hair, eventually you develop a taste for it; not quite as obnoxious as cat hair and definitely easier to remove from your mough. Enjoyed this and I hope you don't tire yourself out too much.

Those puppy hairs are astronomically LARGE!

Ah, Buddy, Buddy! I really didn't know they shed, Caren. I thought they were short-haired. I hope you get a cake and lots of presents...you deserve them.

Buddy fell in love with Carolyn, my twin, and went NUTS when he saw there were TWO mommies! Carolyn is not a fan of animals, but he was in her lap in seconds, licking her.
