Killing it as a Pet Mom

Happy Hump Day! This week has been one that’s been busy, chaotic and if you’re like me you could use a good laugh. Hope this story brings you a chuckle. 🙂

One day last week the weather was nice so I bundled up in my workout clothes threw on an oversized sweatshirt and walked to the local gym. On the walk there I noticed a foul smell but thought it had to be something outside. I just kept on walking continuing to smell a nasty smell. I get to the gym and instead of immediately taking off my sweatshirt, I leave it on and stretch. I walked through the gym grabbing weights, setting up a mat, getting a water, etc. You get the idea. I wasn’t just standing still in one spot but walking all around with my sweatshirt still on. My workout finally heated up enough, I took it off and got down to business.

Fast forward forty minutes later, the workout is finished and I’m putting all my equipment away. I grab my sweatshirt to throw it on and notice a big brown stain on the back of the sweat shirt. I probably shouldn’t have done this in public but I sniff it and GIRLS!!! HOW EMBARRASSING! It smells like poop. HOW do I have poop on the back of my shirt? THE SMELL I WAS SMELLING ON MY WALK WAS ME!

I walk home as fast as possible and immediately head to my closet where I keep a stack of sweatshirts, long sleeve shirts, and that kind of thing I throw over work out clothes and wear to the gym. Right there on the stack was POOP!

Basically, I’m sharing this story because I want you to know I’m clearly killing it at the pet mom game. 😉 Completely being facetious here. No, I want you to smile a bit and I want to remind you not to take life too seriously. Some of us are walking around with poop on our backs, for crying out loud!

Happy Wednesday, Friends!

XO

    Girl… I feel ya. Being a dog mom is hard. Our dog turned 1 in November, and I feel like we still have days like this. We can unite in these funny stories we all share. Haha!

    Changed into shorts that I had left out on the floor. Drove a couple of hours away, got out of the car and discovered that the dog had eaten most of the crotch out of my shorts! Had to wear a towel around my waist. I check everything now.

    I feel you. we have an 8month old puppy and some days I’m walking around with slobber all over me. It’s better than poop, but still. I was looking up Beneath Shades of Gray on my lobby app and it says it was made into a motion picture. Did you know that? the adaption is called Shades of Grey.
