birthday boy

We have a birthday boy in the house

The Fluffinator turns one today

It’s hard to believe that this once tiny, fluffed up ball of cuteness

Is now this ginormous beast, that looks like he’s half horse, half dog

Even though we haven’t had him a year

It’s hard to remember what it was like before he moved in

Oh wait, if I try really hard, I think I can remember what it was like

My black clothes were black

Now they resemble really ugly mohair coats

I could leave food out on the kitchen counter

Now it mysteriously disappears…hmmm

I never found myself ‘skating’ and ‘sliding’ across the floor before we had a dog

Now I just dodge Fluff’s drool puddles when I see them

I used to think it was hard work wrestling with the girls while brushing their hair

Now I roll around for HOURS with the white beast trying to ‘groom’ him

And with all of that, he’s still perfect

The best dog ever

So in honor if his big day, we wanted to get his photo done cause we’re spazzes like that

So we washed him

Brushed him

Even tried to give him a manicure

Notice I said TRIED?

Diamond was cutting his nails and accidentally cut off half of Fluff’s foot cut too far down

And it was bleeding a bit

And when I say bleeding a BIT, I mean shitloads

There was some BLOOD man!

Like 2 beach towels worth

And didn’t Diamond feel like an arsehole

I thought he was going to cry

So we took the Fluff-man to the vet

Who told us that people cut their dog’s toes off have nail clipping accidents like that al the time

Who knew?

So they gave him some antibiotics and a cute little halloween bandage and he was good to go

The whole thing reminded me of when the girls were younger

I remember when Miss 5 was about 3 weeks old and I was trimming her nails and accidentally nipped the top of her finger with the nail clippers. She didn’t flinch

I bawled my eyes out

Then there was the time that Diamond was bucking Miss 4’s bike helmet on her and got he neck caught in the clip

He was so upset that he’d hurt her

So really, when you look at all that, Fluffy’s little injury just means that now

He’s REALLY part of the family

Oh yeah, and it also means Diamond’s fucked up twice

And I’ve only fucked up once

How do ya like me NOW??
