Pittie Prankster


My job is a hybrid position, so I often work from home.  One of the things I enjoy about working from home is coming out of my office for a break and traveling around the living room, kissing furbabies along the way.

Our pittie boy, Rex, is our wild child.  Even when he's stationary, he's wiggling around, snorting, grunting, or posing.  He does have allergies though, so he sometimes sneezes or sounds like he is hacking up a furball.

Earlier this week, I was working in the office when I heard Rex hacking up a furball.  I decided it was time for a break anyway and went out to check on everyone.  Rex was posing upside down on the loveseat like his normal weirdo self.  I made a "pitstop" and came out of the bathroom to find him in the exact same pose – highly unusual.

I called to him:  "Rex, are you dead over there?"
Rex: <not a muscle twitching>
Me: "Hey, Rex, are you ok?"
Rex:
Me: <worried> "Hey, Rex!!" <poke poke poke>
Rex: <head pops up so I can see his eyes> "Gotcha, mommy!" <grin>
Me: "DON'T YOU EVER SCARE MOMMY LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Stinky



Every two weeks, I look forward to my bestie spending the afternoon with me.  Today we were relaxing next to a cozy fire and watching shows.  

We both had our feet up and my bestie had taken off her shoes to get comfy.  After a while, she started putting her shoes back on.  I asked her what was up since it wasn't cold in the room or anything.

She put her shoe up to her nose and started sniffing.  What in the world, I thought.  Was my bestie finally becoming as much of a weirdo as I am?  

Then she assured me that she had taken a shower today but that her feet were stinky for some reason.  I usually have a very sensitive sniffer, but I was not smelling her feet from where I was sitting.  

Then it dawned on me.  I glanced under her footrest and yep, our pittie boy, Rex, was sprawled out right under her feet.  She thought she smelled super-stinky feet, but in reality, she was smelling our super-stinky dog.  

I laughed and laughed and laughed.  Then I went into the office to tell my husband and laughed some more.

I guess it's time for Rex to have a shower!
