The older you get, the odder things become and we start accepting them as the norm. You'll care less about that stuff when you are no longer middle aged and get down and dirty with "Old".
You are right John. I haven't had the benefit of being around oldsters, so I am having to learn by myself. If the young ones knew what was in store, well, I'm not sure.
How long does this go on? I know you think it's silly but better she wears a diaper than that she messes everywhere and you have to wipe her. Amazon or your local petshop should have a lot of choices.
PS THank you for the update on Baby Jesus a few posts back.
You are compassionate, John. No wonder you are a nurse. Nurturing comes naturally to you. Thank goodness for people like you. We would all be better off with more like you (but I'm sure they broke the mold).
I would have thought that was not the criteria for being sad - strange, but not sad.
ReplyDeleteI thank you for that old chum

ReplyDeleteHave a good night, John
U too Sharon old gal x
DeleteI don't think that qualifies you for the sad bastard title. You deserve the Great Dog Parent Award.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Or the best " bulldog fanny washer award Janie"
DeleteYou DO know that fanny means something quite different in the UK
Yes we do.
DeleteThank you, Susie.
DeleteI bet there are lots of people of all ages dabbing someone's fanny tonight.
ReplyDeleteLol and the best blog comment of the night goes to you xx
DeleteAnd not just with a damp cloth.
DeleteHahaha!
DeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
You're absolutely certain that you were out of shot? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI do hope so Greg......I don't want to turn up as a youtube sensation x

DeleteA scary thought for Halloween, John - Middle age is a piece of cake. It gets worse.
ReplyDeleteAh-yah. So what? We do what we must.
ReplyDeleteWhat, no dishcloth this time?!
ReplyDeleteMiddle age, old age - any age beats the alternative.
John, why don't you just have Winnie spayed/fixed? Unless you plan to bred her - Just Do It.
ReplyDeleteShe'll be happier and so will YOU!

ReplyDeleteI'd rather not think about all this. The worst I have to cope with is pulling blades of grass from Monty's backside.
ReplyDeleteI think I am quite pleased to not have a fanny. They seem to require an awful lot of maintenance.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm middle-aged because I was up at 5:30, reading blogs...
ReplyDeleteFrom the amount of dabbing reported in these posts I now understand why that bulldog seems to love you so much.
ReplyDeletei think middle age is defined in many ways but that one never occurred to me
ReplyDeleteWhen you live with animals, they are often your life. And who would wish it any other way?
ReplyDeleteNot sad my dear, just the usual in your world and we love you for it. LOL I hope her, ahem, fanny is better.
ReplyDeleteAt least it was damp kitchen roll and not the dishcloth!!
