I was going to tell you...

I had every intention about telling you about our vacation. I was going to tell you about how Disneyland was amazing and how the kids loved every minute of it. I was going to tell you about the friggin' window-licker that set off the hotel fire alarm on Saturday, waking everybody up, at 7 IN THE MORNING because they BURNT A FLIPPIN' WAFFLE! I was going to tell you about how we had to stand outside for 20 minutes in our pajamas with 3 crying children until the firemen got there because someone BURNT A FLIPPIN' WAFFLE! Eat a bowl of cereal you twit!! I'm not bitter. Sidenote: Some really interesting people stay at hotels.....like the 50something truckdriver with his 20something Craigslist date...if you catch my drift. I was going to tell you about how Mason learned a new word and now calls me a Hoarder. But instead I'm going to tell you what I learned while I was on vacation.

I learned that my dogs must really love me. Yes, its true. And apparently they suffer from severe separation anxiety when I'm not home. I mean, why else would they chew up over $100's worth of toys? Hhhmmm? And I'm sure when they vomited it up all over the house it was because they were so sick to their stomach from missing us. I mean that's what I do when Jordan's gone and I miss him. It's only natural. And heck, now I can get my carpets cleaned...

And why else would they do this...

{Yeeeaahhhh....L-O-V-E}

It's obvious that they were trying to look outside to see if we were home yet. They really do love us. So sweet. So so so effing sweet. Man's best friend my arse. You know when else I learned? That separation anxiety is cured at the boarding kennel.

**ps** just to clear any confusion...we did have a full time sitter for our dogs. we would NEVER leave our animals alone.

  2. They love you, they really love you!!!

    we were taking a short weekend trip a while back, and decided that we would take our crazy, crack-headed pooch to be boarded, thinking she would get to play and have a blast. Um, no. Girlfriend got so stressed when we tried to leave her, she popped a frickin blood vessel in her eye!!! And shit herself!! Needless to say, she did not end up there.

  3. Poor things...they did miss you. Our Dobe was that way. She would destroy the house just while we were at work. We tried putting her in the garage once and she litterally CHEWED THROUGH THE DOOR and we found her snoozing on the couch...the ONLY coushin left on the couch....

  5. Who burns a waffle?

    This reminds me of when we were evacuated from our dorm in the dead of winter at 2am because some jackass was making muffins for his girlfriend and he burned them.

    Maybe he was at your hotel...

  7. Girl, our dogs get separation anxiety if we go to Wal Mart! We put them in kennels when we leave the house and when we go to bed....they literally "dug" through our carpet all the way down to the cement foundation! They're f*ckin' pugs...little ass...fat ass pugs! Uugh...I could kill them, but...they're cute!

  10. One of my dogs is like that, Buck gets very upset if he's left alone. He once chewed up a leather ottoman because I left for 30 minutes.
    But he's cute and gives unconditional love so all is forgiven.

  11. I think that your dogs reacted normally to being left alone. I'm not sure how people are able to leave dogs locked up at home when they go away on vacation. They must get terribly bored. I'm sorry and I don't mean to offend, but I think you might have expected a bit too much from them.

  12. Dear lord! This reminds me of when we went on vacation and as soon as our cat saw us he peed up the curtain!

    I want to hear about Disneyland!!!!

  13. Hey Tess....

    I would NEVER leave my dogs alone...they had a full time sitter. We had a friend tending to them the entire time we were gone. Unfortunately they really do get sad when we leave and act out. I would never leave my animals alone and don't condone doing so. Hopefully you'll read this since you didn't leave an address to be emailed back to.

  17. Welcome baaaaaack..........there's no place like home-aka the real world. :)

  18. LOL... Yeah, I'm afraid that's what my dog will do if I leave him alone all day, and I feel bad leaving him in a crate for that long!

    Hmm... some sketchtastic people are staying at Disneyland now... or in the surrounding Anaheim area... oh wait, that is a sketchy neighborhood! LMAO!

  19. P.S. Your comment on my blog today = Reason why I love you. Because of you, I'm seriously considering dropping that whopping $225 on myself! :-D <-- That's my huge smile.

  20. You mean to say that burnt waffles weren't in your D-Land brochure?

    I LOVE me a burnt waffle right before I hit the Magic Kingdom.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I feel you on the dogs! Our oldest dog throws up everytime we change up our schedule in the slightest. If I work late? I come home to puke...and sometimes if he's really upset about it, he waits until 3am and then unleashes his punishment on us. It's lovely!

  22. Awe poor doggies! uh, I mean poor Alicia!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Tess should have read closer, I think...
    Bad doggies. BAD.

    ReplyDelete
  28. i really wish you had your camera to take a pic of those other vacationers in their jammies. :)

    what kind doggies you have!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Tess was actually the one who made me realize i forgot to post about having a sitter! i totally forgot to mention that before, so i edited it... but thanks!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. OH. MY. GOSH!! Boarding Kennel? Oh dang how about a NEW HOME! haha

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wow! By the looks of it you would never know that someone was there watching them. Hmmmm seems like someone should get there money back!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wow..your dogs must love you A LOT. I'm super glad my dogs can't reach our mini blinds lol.

    I'd have smacked the waffle burner upside the head. 7am is WAY to early to roll my ass out of bed lol.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And you are having words with your sitter, right?! Actually, that's exactly how my brother used to sit our dog. He'd be all happy to do it b/c then he could hang out in our food stocked house and virtually ignore the reason he was there in the first place.

    ReplyDelete
  34. lol those dogs are your biggest kids but glad yuou had fun at disney

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wowza! I'd have to kick some doggy butt after that. (if my kids did something like that I'd sell them to the Gypsies!!) Those pups really missed you! Kennels alll the way!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ah yes, this looks/sounds all too familiar. I can't tell you all the things my dog has tory up/destroyed due to his 'love' for us. And that is just while we are away at work!! So high maintenance he is.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I thought you were gonna tell us you were pregnant! Phewwwwf! And they really did miss you by the way. I saw them and they were sad. (and disclaimer - I was only the PART-TIME sitter).

    ReplyDelete
  38. dude! blinds are not cheap. my cats do this shit too.

    but, hey - they love you.

    ReplyDelete
  39. What a fine welcome home...On an up note, Wal Mart has blinds really cheap!

    ReplyDelete
  40. haha, awww! How can you be mad at that? So cute. And so funny about the Craigslist Ad. Very often I see people and I'm convinced that was their verision of cupid..

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yea, I think we got our dogs from the same place, because my beagle is the exact same way. She is such the inappropriate chewer, with serious separation anxiety. Sorry about your blinds...and the vomit. I can't wait to hear about your disney escapades though. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  42. oh look how much they love you!! it was so sweet of them to do all those things to let you know just how much they missed you.

    ps.. where was your sitter during this time?! they must have just loved watching the dogs show you their love for you!
