Go with the flow...

I have some very interesting news. It's kind of gross. And if you are married to me you don't want to know the following information. So kindly go click elsewhere (but remember that we're having steak and martini's tonight - so don't forget to come home!).

Guess who got her very first period???

Can you guess? You know it isn't me.... But I have two daughters, right? Could it be one of them??? Nope...it's THE FUCKING DOG.

She's not a baby anymore....


What a cruel, cruel joke. I have three little kids and I saw little spatters of blood throughout my house. I began freaking out and looking for cut off fingers in the corners of the house and under the sofa to no avail. Further, I couldn't find the bleeder and nobody was crying. Then Honey (or, as she'll be known from now on - THE FUCKING DOG, or TFD for short) walks by me leaving little plops of blood in her wake. Fan-fucking-tastic.

So the girls start freaking out and I explained to them what it means and that we'll need to get TFD fixed ASAP as she came from a litter of NINE puppies and that would push hubby over the edge of sanity. Thing One started crying because we're "denying TFD the chance to be a mommy". I say I'm ENABLING the chance that she will continue to live with us here at the house. Besides, at this point I feel like I'm helping her out. I'm gonna stick my neck out and take a guess that having nine offspring isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

I began wondering about how long her cycle would last so I spent a little bit of time on Google which is where I saw this:




At first I thought that they were some crotchless fetish panties from Victoria's Secret or something. But then I saw that these are "Satin Dog Panties". All you do is put a panty liner in them and you're little girl is ready to go! They are $20 a piece! Sorry, but I REFUSE to buy TFD underwear that costs more than MINE did.

Here is the other thing. I've just started my period, too. You know how they say that women who spend time together often times menstruate together? Well I'm now wondering if that isn't true for all mammals, rather than just humans as I had previously thought. So does this mean that all of the female squirrels living in my yard are currently pissed off at their mates, craving chocolate and have stomach cramps?? Hmmm....



Hopefully it's NOT true for those who blog together. If so, it's gonna be kind of bitchy at humor-blogs for a few days....

I guess you and TFD are bitches! Ha! I had four sisters... get the dog fixed, you don't want anyone fighting over the last piece of dark chocolate. You're funny

How did I get through life without knowing that dogs have periods? WOW! And I'll pass on my mom's advice for everything - take a Midol.

We had a dachsund when I was a kid that started her period when my sister was 12 and I was 10. It never occurred to me what my mom must have thought when she saw little trails of blood across the kitchen.

Sooo, you have a bloodhound?

Ohmygod! My mom bought our pomeranian a LEATHER pad holder when I was a kid. We looked like sicko bestial fetishists. Dog periods are the WORST! Funny joke, God! I am now wondering about the statistics on men in this world who do the doggie pad changing. Not to be sexist, but I can't help but think that women get the bloody end of this stick, too.

Beck - I prefer Biotch. But yeah. Ooooh...chocolate. Yo quiero.

Alice - You've probably heard it called "in heat". We just call it "pretty damn gross". I'm out of Midol but am shaking the Aleve bottle as I type.

Marie - I just knew that someone had cut off his/her finger and was hiding in a corner because they didn't want to get in trouble. So, in that regard, I'm glad I was wrong. BUT, it's still pretty disgusting.

Damon - DUDE! Gross. But...yes, I think we do.

Donzer - leather panties for a pomeranian?! Wow. I think I may have trouble sleeping tonight, now that I know that this exits. Was your dog a bad ass? I'm thinking that you have to be a bad ass to wear leather underwear. Pomeranian or not. Right??
avogle said…
she was definitely a badass. :)

I seem to recall friends of ours just cutting a tail hole in a regular old baby diaper and sticking it on the dog.
Bex said…
Donzer - A badass Pomeranian. I would pay GOOD money to see that!

Kimberly - Your friend sounds like a friggin' genius to me. I don't even like dealing with my own periods, never mind the dog. And then, of course, will come the two daughters one of these days. Sigh.
Ok. My Sister-in-law has been telling me to check out this blog. I finally did and the first post I hit is about this..and coincidentally, I just started too.

Not that I want to share too much, but yet...I just did. It's just that thing about the bloggers who blog together and ... well, just odd.

Anyhooo...like the blog.

Crap.

I'm an idiot. Just realized this was posted on April 17.

Duh!

OK. So I didn't start at the same time...

I'm going to go skulk away now.
Bex said…
Lisa - Hi! If it makes you feel any better, I'm just now finishing up mine...so we're still practically related! So no skulking, please!

i've said this a million times, and i'm saying it again. there will NEVER be a dog in my house.

Florida: The Good. The Bad. The Holy SHIT!!!

So you know...I live in Florida now. The good news is that my southern accent is stronger than ever - I think it was some sort of defense mechanism...of or for what, I have no idea. I definitely miss Atlanta and my friends, though, especially now. Spring in Atlanta is SO beautiful. But Florida is pretty nice, too. We go to the beach at least once a week and we all love having a pool in the backyard. Also, my husband makes me a Planter's Punch every night and I don't even feel guilty by knocking it back - we're on vacation, right?? A couple of weeks ago I was reading the news and saw this weird picture: In case your eyes can't make sense of it, I'll give you a hint. It's not a puppy. I'm guessing it's not an air freshener, either. It is, in fact, a Burmese Python that ruptured and now has a really big dead Alligator sticking out of it's stomach. Oh, and something ate the snakes head off. That's why there is no head there. National Geographic has

Oooohhh...I just LOVE when you wrap it around me... do it again, please?

I had heard that "crack" kills. I just never really believed it until I saw it with my own eyes. (Bless his heart.) About 3 years ago I was 6 months pregnant and had two daughters (aged 4 and 5). We were all traveling from Bellingham, WA to Atlanta, GA with a VERY brief layover in Dallas. We were booked on a major airline that should remain anonymous as they are a bunch of asshats (but they rhyme with "Mamerican Mairlines") and we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 AM in order to catch our 7AM flight. It was Suck City. By the time our car arrived in Seattle my husband and I were barely speaking to each other and the girls had marks on their faces and arms from the backseat smack-down they had while out of our reach. When I went to the counter to speak with the representative she informed me that even though our seats had been purchased many months ago and seat assignments had been given all of that had changed and we were no longer sitting together as a family. I

The Wild and Wonderful World of Animal Butts

Hello, Boys. How're they hangin'?? Several years ago my dad and I were hiking in California. It was a beautiful afternoon and we were on a mountain trail. We came upon some kind of farm that had a fence around it. Suddenly I saw it - a pig lying down with his "sac" squeezed out behind him. It looked as though someone had stuffed two basketballs under his skin. My first thought was, "Holy crap, pigs can get elephantitis??!" This was quickly followed by thought number two which was, "I would give anything to be sharing this experience with anyone but my father ." So I did what anyone could do in such a situation. I took a picture of the pig balls. I decided that I would put it on the cover of my Christmas cards that year and when the card was opened it would say, "Deck the halls...." I haven't done it yet but I will...yes, I will. You may be wondering why I brought this up. It has to do with baboons and Darwin. At the risk of dramatical
