My grand daughters husband is away and my grand daughter travels for work so my son has been staying at her house. My grand daughter has two french bull dogs, a male Lex and a female Lola. My daughter and I were going into the city to celebrate her birthday so my daughter took her two dogs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels-a female Ellie and a male Cash to my grand daughters so my son could feed and let them all out when he came home from work. We didn't get home until late and my daughter wasn't feeling well so she left the dogs over night. The following is the email we received from my son the next day:

Subject: My Morning

Gather 'round kiddies it's story time, this is sent through messages because it is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach.

My morning started no differently than any other, I awoke at 5:30 splashed some water on my face got dressed and went to the gym. I returned home to find 4 dogs all standing by the back door, they must have to go out I said to myself and decided to lend a hand to Heather who was sleeping. We go outside and I find that they are all huddled around the pool in a group interested in nothing else. I'll have to investigate. The dogs had noticed that there were two dead mice in the pool and were completely fixated on the two floating, deceased rodents, preventing them from doing their business. While keeping them at bay with shouts of "leave it!" and "no!" I retrieved the pool skimmer and fished out the two expired mice and disposed of them, this already created that cold feeling in my stomach. The dogs then turned their attention to other things and began functioning normally. Then Lola began to squat, good, a poop now we are getting things done, how productive we've become. Only to my shock and horror Lex begins to creep up on Lola's already squatted hindquarters, nothing good will come of this, Lola's rear erupted directly into Lex's face, now I understand that things are different in the animal kingdom to that of human society but I find that rude even by animal standards. Lex gleefully licked his chocolate soft serve ice cream take directly from the spout from his nose and mouth and went about his business as usual as if nothing happened. I am now green at this point. I now believe we have been outside for an adequate amount of time and begin corralling the the animals. Lex and Lola complied quickly and went in the house. Ellie came along and went up onto the deck, then things took another turn for the worse, she began the poop walk dance, I've seen this before and I knew what was about to transpire, I was helpless after it began, do I pick her up and risk her pooping directly on me, no, Let it run it's course and I will hose off the deck after wards. No big deal. She the proceeded to defecate in a full 360 degree circle around the circumference of the entire deck. The sights and smells began to culminate, I began to sweat and my stomach is doing back flips. I take off my shirt and fashion a makeshift gas mask and get the hose, this will do the trick. No, it's too much, I am dry heaving at this point, about half of the fecal matter has been washed away and it becomes too much to bare......I throw up directly into my shirt. I get myself back under control and wipe the tears from my eyes and finish rinsing the deck. Ellie is put inside and then I chase Cash down and deposit him with his 3 cohorts. Now all I have left to do for today is shower and go to work.......piece of cake.

Everyone have a great day!
