When Moose became part of the family, my Mama kept him for me while I worked. Or as he knew her, Granny. I happened to be off one day and Mama was cutting grass and I was helping her. They have a LOT of lawnmowers. I think my Daddy collects them. (Can you say Hoarders lol) So I heard my Mama's lawnmower stop and I pulled up to the house to grab a cold drink. Moose stayed on the back porch at Granny's house and he wasn't there! PANIC! Then we realized he was inside. RELIEF! So first she found a Moose-sized pile of stinky on the rug in front of her french doors. uh-oh, Moose was in trouble! But it wasn't his fault he was house trained to the fullest. I guess because we were on the lawnmowers he couldn't 'tell' us he needed to go potty. And he associated the door with going out to potty. Well my mom went down the hall and guess who was laying. In the middle of her bed! Yep, big ole Moose! Stretched out to make himself at home! She started hollering "Moose what are you doing in the middle of my bed? Get yourself out right now!" Bless his heart, it was my fault because I let him sleep in my bed and that's where he thought he was supposed to lay! So, being the clean freak my Mama is, she immediately stripped the bed and was carrying ALL of her bed linens to the other side of the house to the laundry room. I came running in the door just as she was stomping through the kitchen. She was MAD and fussing and had covers piled up higher than she could see when BAM! She hit the tiled kitchen floor. OH MY GOODNESS! "Mama, are you okay? Can you get up?" I was worried about her because she fell HARD. Then I realized Moose had pee-peed in the kitchen floor and left a pond there and that is what she slipped in. It looked like a cartoon. All I could do was laugh when I realized what had happened! Then she started laughing, but she was still LIVID! She said "I'm gonna kill that durn dog!" but was laughing so hard I didn't believe her. If I had videotaped it we would have won America's Funniest Home Videos. So after Mama slipped (Picture both feet coming out from under her and her landing flat on her back with a mountain of clothes on top of her) then she realized her back was soaking wet from the pee! Poor Moose didn't know what to do so he retreated with his head down back to the screened in porch. Bless his heart! He didn't mean to cause such a fiasco. Mama then had to wash clothes and take a bath and I was left to cut the rest of the grass! LOL
How could Granny be mad at a face like this? |
