Because we have a terrible sense of humor, we always thought when we had company we would put the dishes on the floor and let the dog clean them, then pretend to put them away afterwards. Yeah, we have a terrible sense of humor...but I must say that I read a story similar on the internet/email, LOL. If you have to call your dog... it is stupid... Most of the time I tripped over mine. (she tripped me to get it )
Good point, good point...yeah, our's is usually hanging around the kitchen too. |

Give me a few minutes to type it up on my phone...After a LOOOONNNGGGG night of lambing issues, & a LOOONNNNGGGGG day of babysitting a teething baby... I dropped a big bowl of soup & it splattered ALL over the kitchen floor. Instead of cleaning it up, I called the dog in... I knew that he would leave big muddy footprints all over the linoleum, but decided in that moment of tired me + crying baby + messy kitchen that dog footprints were better than soup on the floor. My second confession.... In the middle of cleaning up the house (it's in pretty good shape, minus dog footprints & dirty dishes, but I was straightening up & about to wash dishes)- hubby pulled up home from work, & one of his friends stopped by & needed to come into the house... I hid all of the dirty dishes in the oven!!!! GAHH! After he went back outside I washed them real quick hahaha
It sounds like you have everything under control!

Location: Okemah,OK | In college, my little neighborhood took in a stray blue heeler that shortly had 9 puppies! My now husband kept one, named Cooter. She stayed at my house, since I had a dog pen. One night, they threw a party at his house that got pretty wild. The next morning, he came over and got Cooter. I later found out it was so she could "vacuum" all the popcorn off the floor that somehow got scattered all over the place. They didn't need a real vacuum, they had Cooter lol. |

I think you need a few hugs 
I think you need a few hugs and a few shots of (pick your strong liquor of choice) LOL
You are a better housewife/mom than I...I would have left the dishes in the sink or let the dog lick those, too. |

Me neither. I called my dog in to clean up the rice/roast I dropped on the floor yesterday. Sue me. My hubby laughed and called her my auto-vac. I have a basket of junk in the hall closet I threw in there when doing a quick pick up before my mom came over a year ago. Apparently, we didn't need any of it. |

I agree.
Why is it our houses might not be as neat as we'd like, a neighbor stops by and we panic so after they've left and already saw the mess then we decide to clean up. LOL I do that all the time.
You need a hug so I'm stretching as faaaaaaaaar as I can to give you one. |

Location: MI | pinx05 - 2014-02-10 5:30 PM I have never thought about the oven! lol
My mom has a weird story. It was the middle of summer, our A/C was not working well at all... My sister and I were at practice and dad was at work. So she strips down to her undies and was sitting in her chair eating Rocky Road ice cream. Well right in the middle of this the front door opens and my dad walks in with one of his friends he works with. Dad says she looked like a wounded duck in a wind storm trying to get out of the recliner lol. She ended up with ice cream all over her and dad's friend quickly went back outside when he realized she was half naked... but she is still known by many people as "Rocky". My dad and his friend being truck drivers, that story traveled long and far haha.
Omg I almost just spit out my coffee LOL
And to the OP -- girl, do what ya gotta do. I think we've all been there unfortunately..
Props for thinking of the oven!

Hugs!!! This story cracks me up and totally makes sense to me!! I can't tell you how many times I have used the dog as a vacuum/ floor cleaner ... he is also getting really handy at cleaning dishes before throwing them in the dish washer! I claim him as my secret weapon! |
