I’m not great at being “green” but I try to keep packaging and paper waste to a minimum around here. One of those things that I try not to use often is paper towels. If it weren’t that my family seems to need them around, I probably would never buy them. We have plenty of kitchen towels and a functioning washing machine.
Paper towels are a waste of money. At least that’s what I once thought.
**WARNING: The following story is nasty. If you are of the sensitive tummy type – I recommend you skip it.**
Lando decided to gag up two (yeah TWO) loads of…something horrific that he clearly deemed tasty a half an hour before.
Of course the universe chose the middle of my lunchtime to unleash the black sludgy fury of whatever was in that 60lb doggies tummy!
One of the loads was easily 18 inches across!!! Thankfully it was the one that landed fully on the wood floor. I don’t want to talk about the one on the carpet. I’m still recovering.
I just wandered back and forth shouting “Ohhhhhhh!” repeatedly. The kids vanished completely and became voices from upstairs asking, “Is it gone yet?”
I will never again complain about my cat barfing.
Ever.
I think I may be traumatized.
But – thank the good LORD of disposable products that I still had some paper towels!!!
I laughed so hard (with you, not at you)!
Paper towels are a necessity. I think my grandmother picked up/wrapped gross stuff in old newspaper, and who gets the newspaper still?
Oh, I so would have ran upstairs to hide! Wait….I am the mom, nevermind, I would have been reaching for the paper towels too! Sigh Supermoms to the rescue again! lol
That Batman is a keeper! You better bake him an apple pie or something… once he recovers his appetite, that is.
That…. is HORRIFYING. Tasha usually is polite enough to go outside to puke.
Tasha is such a lady.
You totally made me laugh out loud. It was the part about you wandering back and forth shouting, “Ohhhhh!” repeatedly.
LOL!
How many times has Deakie done that to me???
The first 3 years of his life, in particular, he was nothing but a throw up machine.
My heart goes out to you, and I swear, if they made paper towels illegal, I’d break the law. I cannot live without them.
THANK GOD FOR PAPER TOWELS!!!
I kid you not – I thought of Deacon while the incident was taking place.
LOL!!!
I forgot to say that I actually hid from the 18″ ‘spill’. Batman cleaned it up. His methods were unconventional but effective.
He used the dustpan. *shiver*
I tell ya, I am glad that the dog I babysit doesn’t hack up like that! Luckily my cats have stopped too.
Oh gross. My kids would have ran and hid too. But so would have I!
I wonder what it was???
