The Poodle in the Pink Dress Pooped

Ok, so it’s official… I have the bad kid in town.



I am not sure but somehow this sweet innocent beautiful puppy turned really defiant today! I have read where many of you mom’s out there have discussed “strong willed moments.” Well, Sam had one today.

He had his usual visit to the vet’s office this morning to get a bath and have his nails clipped. (I am not brave enough to do this chore at home since Elizabeth {Calhoon} Quinn told me that I needed to purchase coagulate because Sam could bleed to death if I cut his nail too short). Anyway, so I take Sam in and he was most feisty this morning. He was literally dragging me with the leash. When I got him inside he spies a dog that he really needs to sniff and lurched across toward him, when all of the sudden the poodle appeared. In trotted a mild mannered 3 lb toy poodle wearing a pink dress nonetheless. Sam must have thought she was breakfast. He lunged at her and pulled me over almost. The poodle was so scared she pooped on the floor! OH MY GOD MY DOG SCARED THE SH** OUT OF SOMEONE…literally! I grabbed him by the collar and was pulling him back while the vet techs were running around the counter to help me. In the meantime Sam’s eagle talon toe nails were piercing my feet to death! I just kept saying stop Sam, sit, Sit… SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had his collar so tight that he was gasping for air, but he still wanted that poodle! A vet tech finally picked up the poodle and another grabbed Sam. Wow… after it was all said and done 3 of my toes were bleeding from Sam's talons, a poodle had pooped, and the entire staff of the vet’s office had to help me contain my dog. I was very embarrassed.

Sam, I will gladly chase you down the road in my robe and rollers into graduation if you will not draw blood and try to eat small dogs anymore!
