Love your story. Aren't dogs just the greatest?
It really helps me to find humor in my situation. As painful as it is, and boy is it painful, the occasional chuckle really helps keep me sane.
The other day I found a full flask of vodka in the outside pocket of my husband's expensive, fancy new golf clubs, which are kept in the trunk of his car. This after he'd told me he was no longer drinking. I loosened the cap so the vodka would leak out all over inside the golf bag and clubs. Of course my husband could never come back and accuse me of doing so, because he'd have to admit he had vodka in his bag. Childish as it was, it gave me great satisfaction. The sad part is that I don't think he'll notice the wet mess or even smell it and notice that the flask is empty. But the laugh I got from it was good for me.
