Flashback Friday-The Glue that held them together

About 8.5 years ago we decided that we wanted to get a puppy. Luckily for us our friends dog just had some pups and they were looking for homes for them. When we left with not one puppy, but two (because we had two girls...duh!) we were super excited.

They will help to train each other! They will be each other's companions so they won't cry! The girls will love on them and help me with them every second of the day!

Let me just laugh hysterically for a second at delusional Heather. She doesn't get to come out and play often, but when she does, she gets two flippin' puppies. And thusly explains why she doesn't get out often to play.

What these two pups did help themselves to one afternoon was the super glue.

In their wake of destruction 3 year old Chicken decided it was a good idea to give the dogs a tube of super glue. Now I know that 3 year olds and super glue aren't a good mix, but I am sure that you have all had a 3 year old that knows how to open junk drawers. And well, the rest is history.

The Chicken "Momma, I think there is something wrong with da puppies."

Me "What do you mean Chicken"

The Chicken "They are chewy and sticky"

Side note-these stupid dogs chewed everything in their path. Max ate the door off one of my cupboards in the kitchen. Because he was BORED!

Me "Honey, I will be there in a minute to see what they are into. Can you take it away from them until Momma gets there?

grunting heard from both her and the dogs

The Chicken "No Momma, and now I am sticky and gooey with the puppies too!"

I run into the kitchen and there on the floor are the puppies laying very close to one another and The Chicken resting her hand on them as if she is holding them down.

"Mommy's here now, why don't you get up and go wash your hands"

"I can't Momma. I stuck."

"What do you mean you are stuck?"

She lifts her hand to show me, one of the puppies yelp.

"See....Stuck."

I realize that she is stuck to the dogs. Upon closer inspection I see that the dogs are also stuck together with a chewed up tube of super glue holding all three of them together.

Luckily for me The Chicken was stuck mostly to Max. Max had very long fur so I just trimmed the fur and The Chicken was free. Albeit with a hand covered in dog hair, but she was free.

Next I cut Max loose. He was so excited for the Chicken to be free of him he was wriggling around, whining happily. Which made cutting the glue tube off of him a bit hard.

Now Lucy, dear sweet Lucy....she had the shortest fur I have ever seen on a dog and the tube was right up next to her skin. I had to take my embroidery scissors and cut one piece of fur at a time.

She whined, she complained, but in the end (after 2 hours) she was free and slightly bald.

So the lesson we learned here was that puppies, 3 year olds and junk drawers filled with super glue don't mix and Delusional Heather is never allowed near cute furry creatures taht need homes....EVER!
