I broke my dog
“How much is that doggie in the window?”
“It’s broken.”
“Can I get a discount on it?”
“Sure.”
Yeah, I broke my dog. She was on the couch so I did what I’ve done a hundred times before: I pushed her off and said, “Get down.”
Simple enough, right?
Cept, she landed wrong on her little puppy paw and sprained her tiny puppy ankle. I sprained my dog’s ankle. I think that means I’m going to hell. She immediately started screaming and yelping. All of our windows were open so the WHOLE neighborhood came out to see who was killing a dog. Just me.
Today, she’s putting a little bit of pressure on it but sometimes forgets she’s got an injury. So she goes running down the back steps to go play outside. Then stands at the bottom of the steps screaming for five solid minutes. Everyone looks out their windows to see who’s killing the dog. Just me again.
One of my neighbors asked me if she’d been hit by a car while she was outside.
“No. I just pushed her off the couch. I’m going to hell.”
My husband didn’t talk to me for a little over thirty minutes when it happened. That’s a long time for him. I got the cold shoulder, the evil eyes, the scowl when I passed by.
My GOSH! I didn’t do it on purpose! It doesn’t matter. I’m going to hell. Suck.
Tomorrow’s the McCain rally and announcement of his VP. I’ll have to get there at about 9:30 in the morning even though the event doesn’t start until 11:00. Fortunately, Derek and the kids will be there with me. They’re supposed to have several celebrities and performers there to provide entertainment before the event. Awesome. I’ll update about it tomorrow.
But then I’m going to hell because I broke my dog.
Night!

No, no Amanda. You’re not going to hell. Not because of this anyway.
I’m sorry about your dog, even though I laughed all the way through this post.
Aww… I’m sure she’s forgiven you already.
@saintvi - Thanks for the thoughts. 14 days to XDK! (right? Am I counting right?) What the hell IS IT?!

You’ll know in two weeks! Thank heavens the end is in sight; it’s getting hard to come up with things to post about every single day.
Awww….poor thing!
Years ago, my son dropped the cat. I thought cat’s land on their feet and they would be okay…right? He didn’t and broke his paw. For the next 8 weeks we had a splint on the cat’s paw and it thumped all around the house. Stupid cat!
hahahaha, sorry but i kept laughing the during the whole read.
well, i’m sure the dog’s all fine but since he/she realized she gets more attention with the yelping, what from neighbors and all, she’s just making like a lil hard for you for that push.
Oh poor thing!
Aww, that’s sad. I didn’t know dogs broke!
Have a great time at the McCain speech today. I’m still really jealous of you.
I will have to research what prayers must be siad for “Breaking the dog” I feel assured that there are some….. ha/ha I hate that the dog was hurt but your post was funny…. At some point in your long life with hubby you will wish he was quite for 15 minutes, I promise. Maybe that is a trick he could teach uncle Steve. He got up this morning singing your chicken song… He said it was for you, so you would be in a good and alert mood for McCain. Of course I wish he had called you and sang instead of singing to me. love ya have a great day
accidents happen honey. Don’t be so hard on yourself
