I would like to start by saying I don't have rivalry issues with my Mothers pets/children. But, this is what happened! My Mother decides to get a mini shitzu at Christmas. She has never been happier and calls for advice on crate training, schedules etc........ She keeps telling me how cute the puppy is and can I help her find a "real" girl name. You know something like Sasha, Emma, or Ashley. She picked "Jingels." Yeah.....it's really Jing..... a real "girl" name if I've ever heard one. Did I mention she even thinks her poo poo is cute - she calls them tootsies - as in mini tootsie rolls.
So, I go to my sweet Mothers home the day after Christmas to take her out to lunch. I take her to one of her favorite mexican places that is fabulous. My mom has awesome taste in good food! She loves Thai - I love Thai. She loves Mexican - I love Mexican. Spicy!!!! Just a little note my mom loves pictures - ask anyone you can't get out of the house without a photo session.
While we are eating this fabulous food she says "Now, before you leave I want to get a picture of the two of us." I'm okay with this so I'm like sure...whatever. She says this like 3 times and I'm thinking "I don't really look my best today I should put on some of my favorite Christian Dior sparkly lip gloss that I keep in my car."
We get home and she says she would like to put on some lipstick. So, I brush my hair & put on the Dior lip gloss and go to get Cocoa my cat that lives with my Mother as her favorite child. Because, Cocoa is in every picture with me. That's when the unthinkable happened.............She walks out with THAT UGLY DOG!!!!
She not only announces that she's ready for her picture but "the two of them are ready!" In my head it still has not clearly clicked that she doesn't want a picture with me. Then she graciously asked me if I would like my picture with her puppy. I'd rather have a picture of her tootsie!
