Don't put off dirty jobs just because you are tired and want to go to bed
Dealing with the now hardened pile of cat puke behind the sofa ( and all down the bleeding radiator ) was the nastiest chore, I have had the misfortune to deal with since Meg rolled gleefully inside a dead badger.
It's just one of the never ending chain of jobs that pile up ( literally) in these dirty wet days of winter and the cottage became very VERY quiet after a lusty and frustrated bout of swearing,
WHEN I eventually stormed back into the kitchen ( clutching a bin bag full of sick), I was greeted by a butter-wouldn't melt sight of the two bitches in my life sitting quietly together like well behaved school girls.

You've just gotta love em
Butter would not melt, just look at them, innocents. They both wear the "don't look at me, I didn't do it" look with professionalism worthy of Dame Maggie Smith.
ReplyDeleteThey are so gorgeous, well done on the puke cleaning x
ReplyDeleteWell behaved schoolgirls of the St Trinians variety. Gorgeous girls.
ReplyDeleteImpossible to be angry at those two faces...I just love them x
ReplyDeleteThey look very contrite, but tomorrow is another day.
ReplyDeleteWhen my dogs are sat looking all innocent at me like that .... I get worried very worried, I usually step into the next room to find something very wrong :-(
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful girls and the photo of them is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteawwwwwwww, they need a doggie treat!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to tell us how you stopped, looked at them then gave them a treat and told them how much you love them.
ReplyDeleteBut that's ok .. we would do the same thing.
I must admit, if confronted by that look on the faces of my cats, I would immediately go looking to see what mess they had made.
ReplyDeleteBut it was an accident. Honest.
ReplyDeleteAll that beauty!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that even I laughed at that picture!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so worth it!
ReplyDeleteSee Daddy, we 'can' be good......
ReplyDeleteGotta love those babies!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, isn't it, how when one has crawled into bed exhausted by the day's requirements, too broken even to whimper, with joints so stiff in pain one can barely manage to lift the comforters...the sound of a cat commencing to retch on the freshly laundered duvet cover can elicit an operatic howl of protest accompanied by an Olympic leap to remove the cat before it is too late.
ReplyDeleteThere is compensation. One meets very nice people in the pet clean-up products section of the supermarket, comparing experiences. (Won't be adopting a ferret any time soon.)
Funniest comment so far today. Retching cats and Olympic leaps - so true,
DeleteAlso humorous is the language, the words, one can learn when a man steps in a puddle of dog vomit right next to His side of the bed. Never mine. That Pup was no dummy.
DeleteA precise of my life beth x
DeleteJust hate waking to the smell of well, you know. Sister just started her morning with a squirt of Pepto Bismol.
ReplyDelete"Wot me?"
ReplyDeleteThere's apprehension written all over W's face 'cos they know that you, as 'pack leader' call the shots. Your mood will determine theirs.
ReplyDeleteOh Daddy. We love you. We do.
ReplyDeleteBut it wasnt them was it ? Next time however....
ReplyDeleteWinnie has a "Jill" look ...
ReplyDelete... after all it was the cat that puked
... when Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!
ReplyDelete...or Daddy for that matter!
DeleteThis post and all your hilarious commenters made me laugh this morning, just what I needed after waking up (with an Olympic leap!) to a cat retching and also finding that the other one had peed on the Oriental rug. Why? Why? There are 3 clean litter boxes to choose from, WHY the nice, expensive rug?? And why DO cats puke so much? Mine don't go outside so it isn't from eating rodents.
ReplyDeleteMost of the flooring in our house is laminate. So why do the dogs always choose to throw up in their beds or on the hall carpet? Probably because they know it's harder to clean up!! If I hear them starting to retch during the night, I bound out of bed and drag them from their beds so they puke on the laminate.
DeleteMartha welcome to my world
DeleteThank you, John, I've been absolutely loving your world (at least the bloggy/doggy parts of it that you write about) for a long time!
DeleteAnd, SusanM, my cats are like that too, once they feel a retch coming on they will race away off the kitchen floor and onto either a rug or upholstered item. Their favorite is to be on a chair and lean partially over the side so that many different surfaces are involved. But I do love them!
...but but but we didn't do anything bad. we are such gud dugs.
ReplyDelete(until later)
cheers, parsnip
Cute, cute babies right there! :)
ReplyDeletePure innocence!
ReplyDeleteThey know how to play you... :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photo of innocence personified !!
ReplyDeleteWho me? No Dad, it was the others !!
That's a good looking dish towel hanging up back there. Glad it works. I mentioned dog snot, but cat puke is not a threat, either.
ReplyDeleteOh John, they just look as though butter wouldn't melt in their mouths, let alone cat puke.
ReplyDeleteYes you do....you gotta love 'em.
ReplyDeleteI spend far too much time cleaning up piddle and puke. And love the perpetrators - just as you do.
ReplyDeleteOff topic I have just finished Sue Perkins memoir. Loved it. Of course.
Gerald durrell had two dogs called widdle and puke
DeleteMy grandmother loved Bulldogs. Every time I see Winnie's sweet face I think of my Grandma Essie! …Mary looks like a little angel sitting there!
ReplyDeleteShe's not believe me
DeleteNote to self, do not read John's blog while eating.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture. The Two Bitches look as if they are about to give a rendition of Josie Cotton's "Johnny Are You Queer?"
ReplyDeleteA bizarre choice of ditty there yp
DeleteOk, you win the Gross-Out Contest! Having to clean dead badger is definitely in a league all it's own. Give your bitches a break. They could have innocent thoughts running through their heads.
ReplyDeleteOh those faces! "Us? Naughty? Never!".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments bit late tonight just been to see the National Theatre's production of Les Liaisons dangereuses
ReplyDeleteFab
I think the kid on the right looks the spitting image of dear old dad.
ReplyDeleteNo more dogs, no more cats, and if my old man ever behaves like that, definitely no more men, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe award for the best line goes to you mary
DeleteYou do just love them!
ReplyDeletePretty darn cute. It's nature's way of balancing out the crap.
ReplyDeleteLOL, bless 'em, they are sooo good! Had to read this one out so as get hubby to laugh too. You are so funny, John.
ReplyDeleteDarling picture! Is Mary full grown yet? Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe two girls have that look of 'Dad's mad! Act sweet!'
ReplyDeleteLike the song says, 'Mo' pets, mo' problems'... or something like that. We've got 4 cats and 1 dog and plenty of pee, puke and poop to deal with all the damn time. I feel you, brother, I really do!
I love visiting/reading you
