Damn Dogs...

I used to think how boring life would be without Marge and Gus, but today I'm thinking that my life would be a lot less stressful without these little bastards... Here is a list of stuff they have done to piss me off in the last 24 hours... Let's start with Gus:

1. Gus has been licking his paws/weiner/anything else he can reach constantly. There's nothing better than waking up in the middle of the night to licking sounds, except maybe rolling over into a wet spot from him licking. I keep yelling at him to stop and he just gets up, walks to a different location and starts licking again.

2. Gus has forgotten how to jump up on the bed, so anytime he wants to get up, he will sit and scratch at the side of the bed until you pull him up.

3. Gus keeps getting into the garbage can/cabinets and taking things under the bed... I found a tube of toothpaste, a soap box, and a whole roll of shredded toilet paper under there today. I guess it's my fault for keeping the bathroom door open, but it's still pretty annoying. I also foiled his attempt at taking a candy bar from my side table.

Marge:

1. Marge is the most needy/ornery dog you'll ever meet. She likes to be all up in my bidniss all the time, and her famous thing is to sit next to you and scratch your arm until you touch her or pay attention to her in some way. I have scratch marks on my arm from this. She also likes to try to weasel her way in between me and the baby when we are sitting on the couch. And then there is the following picture showing that I can't even be on the computer without her getting in on it:

2. Marge has been scratching her ears constantly, and I know there is nothing wrong with her... I'm pretty sure she is just doing it to annoy me. She loves to do this in the middle of the night and usually concludes it with a nice long head shaking, complete with really loud collar noises.

3. I was in the shower today when I heard some commotion out in my bedroom. When I came out, my coffee was on the ground, and Marge was cleaning it up. How nice! She has no manners... Last week she ate part of a bowl of Spaghetti-Os, some ice cream, and took a drink of my water while I was out of the room.

But as much as I complain about the pups, I love them. Gus is so sweet with the baby, and is my little buddy. And as crazy and grumpy as Marge is, she is very entertaining and cute.
