Slinky's Accident


While I was gone to Tulsa this week, Bob was in charge of Slinky. Bob went up to Red Cross and took First Aid and CPR again. While he was gone, Slinky got quite desperate about having to go to the bathroom and it was 7 degrees outside so Bob had left him barricaded in the kitchen. He must have had to go pretty badly so he knocked over the barricade and went into the living room where he had diarrhea on the living room carpet.

Bob got home at 11:30 and found it. He spent a couple of hours trying to get it out of Berber carpet. Finally, he called a carpet cleaner and they came at 9:30 yesterday morning and cleaned it for us...for $60.

So...as long as it's very cold, one of us will have to stay home with Slinky and see to it that he gets out to do his duty.

I was all prepared to buy new carpet. But it looks pretty good today and it is apparently dry now.

What a bruiser that dog is...LOL I just thought of why he is named Slinky. the folds of his skin remind me of a slinky. I'll bet he and Bob are glad to have you home.
Exciting week coming up with all the inagauration doings. Should be interesting and fun to watch.It seems such a long time since he started running for president. Finally here.

How can you resist a face like Slinky's. He didn't mean to do bad. It was human error.

Human error, huh? I'll tell Bob.
