Really, <strong>what the hell?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In hindsight, staying up until 1am with Perry the Wonder Dog may not have been my best idea. Giving him a bath and a haircut has been on my Pre-Road-trip To Do List, but I wasn&#8217;t planning on starting at 10pm last night.  It all started because Perry was having some &#8220;issues&#8221;. Because he needed a haircut, his fur was a little too long on his back end which caused said issues. Apparently, this is very depressing to dogs, or maybe just to Perry. I really don&#8217;t know. I was trying to walk him last night but he didn&#8217;t even want to walk. He would just lie there in the grass, in the dark with his head on his paws looking sad. This is usually a dog that could give a Jack Russell on speed a run for his money. Even though it was already after 10, I knew it meant bath time. <strong>What the Hell??!!<\/strong> I&#8217;ll spare you the gory details and just say it involved rubber gloves, warm soapy water, and scissors. I brought him back upstairs to dry him off and since he was sitting on my lap I started trimming his fur a little at a time and much to my surprise he let me! All the other times, grooming him has meant sedatives (not for me, for him, although afterwards I could probably use one) and another person to hold him. I took advantage of the situation and just kept cutting. Before I knew it, it was 1am. Looking at him this morning, he doesn&#8217;t look <em>too<\/em> bad but I&#8217;m exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping, but can&#8217;t, my mind wanders to some weird thoughts. I have always said I just want my children to be happy when they are adults and that is all that is important, but that isn&#8217;t exactly true. I would have a real problem if one of my children announced that they were going to join the circus to be a clown. I hate clowns! C&#8217;mon, admit it, they are just so creepy! So, as long as none of my children become clowns, we are good. Unless&#8230;&#8230; one of them gets a pet monkey. Okay, monkeys, clowns, and monkey-owning clowns are out, but I can deal with anything else.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.simply-linked.com\/listwidget.aspx?l=c8a4b9ed-3836-485a-91d1-bd6c4f17031f\" ><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesdays are great for Wordless and Wordful posts, but we decided to go a different route and create our own Wednesday fun.
