It’s a phrase I use at least — oh I don’t know, like ten million times a day, give or take an exaggeration.
I can’t help it. It’s better than picking up the nanermal and tossing him like a frisbee from my house, while the kids scream animal abuse and call the dog pound to lock me up.
So instead, as not to drive myself insane, I opt to say “Thank you” to the furry beast that makes it a point to utterly drive me made each and every day!
Thank you Harley…
Thank you Harley for chewing up the toilet paper, even the stuff that’s been used to blow our noses. How nice puppy.
Thank you Harley for getting your food all over my kitchen floor each and every day while you eat.
Thank you Harley for leaving me poop at the foot of my bed because I won’t pay attention to you.
Thank you Harley for tipping over the garbage – yet again, which is amazing considering you are smaller than our cat and the garbage is in a three foot bin with a closed lid.
Thank you Harley for chewing my iphone ear buds, not once, twice, but six times. <<< reminder >>> buy stock in apple.
Thank you Harley for bringing me bumblebees arm which you ripped off so diligently and with pride.
Thank you Harley for barking in such a way the deaf folks down at the Meno with hearing aid have asked for an equipment check.
Thank you Harley for nipping at my heels when I go to pee, brush my teeth, have a bath, go outside, play with the kids. He’s like my own personal callous remover on four legs.
I don’t know what I was thinking when I brought him home. Wait, yes I do. Holy shit it would be cool if we had a dog. Isn’t he cute?
Babies are cute too but then they grow up and eat you out of house and home, shit on you verbally, blame you for their therapy sessions and basically make you feel like the absolute worst parent in the world each and every day you eat, live and breathe.
So really – there is nothing left to say. Except thank you Harley for giving us the greatest joy in our lives by loving each and every one of us in your own unique and special way, and despite the bullshit you put me through. I still love you. Thank you.
That was easy
