Preacher Ate My Toothbrush!

As most of our get-togethers are amongst our friends, Saturday night's World Champion UFC event was last minute. The usual suspects showed up, which includes the sweetest blue eyed, blond little boy named Liam.

Liam always asks to pet Preacher and Sonya. But the one time he met them, they plowed him over and licked every inch of his skin not covered by clothing. Needless to say, at the tender age of 4, and with no dog experience whatsoever, he got scared. Then the dogs got excited, and barked with Liam's screeching screams. And, worst, Liam's mama panicked. Not good. So until Liam is tall and strong enough to stay upright, and keep his cool when the dogs come charging him with kisses, the poor dogs have to be put away regardless of Liam's constant pleading to "please, please, please... can I pet the dogs?" (God bless his little heart for not giving up on my loving brutes.)

After Liam left, we let the dogs out to say hello to the remaining guests. And after they left, we all went to bed for the night. That's when I found this:

I know who did it right away! Preacher loves anything that's been in our mouths, and socks.

Sonya loves blankets and... um... Well, I'll show you when I catch her with it. It's rather embarrassing. Don't hold your breaths though; I've been keeping them very secure, as even the tiniest articles of "clothing" from Victoria's Secret are too expensive to make into chew toys. Oh, but Sonya has very good taste. In clothing, that is. Ugh, I better stop here before I dig myself into a hole I can't get out of.

"Preacher, what d'you do this for?"

Oh, that. Yeah, it was in the shower.

"So you step into the shower to get it? It's MY toothbrush!"

You know, I thought I'd save you the time by brushing my own teeth.

"This is a Sonicare. You hate the Sonicare!"

Oh, is THAT what it is? It's tasted really good.

"Preacher, next time you do this, I'll use it to brush your teeth." (I make idle threats all the time, the dogs can't tell the difference between a bluff and a real warning.)

Next time you should just let us watch TV with the rest of you!
