Silence is Golden

Published by admin under Pandemonium on June 14, 2010

It seemed like almost every morning (since we’ve gotten Lilo her ID tag & put her rabies tag on her collar) at the early hours of 5-6 a.m. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Lilo’s clanking kennel as she goes off like a little alarm that says “take me out…I’VE GOT TO PEE!”. Oh, and she wines too. I understand that. It’s understandable. I mean the first thing I’ve usually got to do in the morning is go to the bathroom too so I know how she feels. However what I don’t understand is why when I take her out of the kennel (and I respond immediately) she’s got to go all spastic pug on me. I really do not understand this. She acts like she hasn’t seen me in ages, and needless to say she continues to sound the alarm with her blasted clanking tags on her collar. This has resulted in me coming back inside after letting her out to two little children, who should be sleeping, waiting for me at the door.

Do you know what it’s like spending a day with TWO children who wake up way earlier than they should all day?? IF you don’t know let me clue you in….there is weeping and gnashing of teeth all damn day long. I hit a point where I had been pop’n Excedrin Migraine almost every day. Not good. Matthew and I were reeling for a solution. I’m sure there were days he didn’t even want to come home haha.

Well this weekend we went on a crusade to find something to silence our lil pug alarm, and were fortunate enough to have been fruitful. We found just the thing to shut it up. The best part is they were wonderfully inexpensive. AS SOON AS we got home we put  on the tag silencers, and were like “You hear that? That’s the sound of silence!**insert crazy maniacal laughter**”.

This morning I learned the value of silence. Silence is Golden. My children slept until 8:45…just in time to eat breakfast before watching Sesame St. Those were 1 1/2 blissful hours of extra sleep I got. That and there were minimal tantrums so far today. Now I can look at the pug again without wanting to shake her…..just kidding. Wouldn’t want to give her shaken pug syndrome or anything…after-all she’s already retarded enough 0_0.
