No joke

I think April Fools Day came early for me.

Last Wednesday morning I had to leave the Hospital to go home, pick up our dog (Tekoa the 100lb princess), and take her to Downtown Hownds for taxidermy... I mean a good cleaning. Well, that Monday the dog had gotten sick... really sick, and the smell of vomit still followed her closely. Being the good husband that I am I put her in my Jeep instead of Kendra's MDX. As soon as the dog jumped in the back she seemed focused on something in the front of the Jeep. I looked up at the dashboard and saw a little bird. Yes, there was a bird in my car. Now this is not a nice little bird. This is the little bird that sits on the side mirrors and fights with itself and poops down the side of any car parked near the front of our house. And now it was in my Jeep. I had left the front window cracked over the weekend and that dumb bird got in and couldn't figure out how to get out. I have no idea how long the bird was in there, but it was long enough for it to leave it's signature all over the dashboard, headrests, and steering wheel.

Since I was already running late I didn't have time to go find the boys Red Ryder BB gun or let the dog and bird play tag, so I opened the door and let the bird out. After wiping down a few important areas I got in and drove my vomit smelling dog downtown in the Jeep filled with bird poo.

I'm thinking this was God's way of preparing me for the messes to come. (yes, I've already changed a few of Catherines diapers.)
