Definition of a lake: a large body of water surrounded by land.

Definition of a pond: a small body of water formed naturally or by hollowing or embanking.

Definition of a puddle: a small pool of liquid.

I looked up these definitions to determine if Phoebe was leaving a puddle or a pond behind when she was doing her business inside the house. When she goes outside it is tiny, but inside it is beyond a puddle, and I think it is fair to say it is a pond. Of course, Cooper now thinks it is fair game again to do his business inside too, so our house is really just so wonderful. I am afraid they will get into a competition as to who gets to form the first lake.

Have you ever had someone you trust turn on you. I once had a manager, that robbed me blind, but before I found out I thought she was someone I could trust. It was heartbreaking to find out the truth. Well, unfortunately, It has happened again.

Someone close, who I dearly love, has hid his deviousness all along. Cooper, who we thought was potty trained, has been pooping in all the back bedrooms and hallways. At first we thought it was Pheobe the new puppy, but after doing a DNA test, it is apparent it has been Cooper. Unfortunately, during this time we were feeding him very fatty foods, so the excrement was not very appealing. I am not sure if we have to send him away to reform school, or some other place, but even though this boy has been acting sweet and nice, it turns out he has been conning us like this old employee of mine. I don’t know, but hopefully one day we can recover from this and move on, meanwhile we will leave all the back bedroom windows open.

I don't have much tonight but here is a photo I took of this questionable family out on the street in front of my house. The father was drinking a beer, disgusting.

Also here is a video of Phoebe going after my shoelaces while Cooper is just thinking, "Oh, i have so out grown that". Click or tap the image or see it on YouTube.

One more thing. At the post office they have this great stamp of Alex Trebeck. They show a photo of him next to the stamps that looks like it is right from Jeopardy.

There are times I have been accused of lying to my wife. This has never happened.

You know when the kids come home with ice cream marks on their shirt and your wife says, "You didn't take them out for ice cream before dinner did you?"
"Honey, I would never do such a thing."

Or the time you catch the kids watching a show that is inappropriate for them when their mom is gone, and you do nothing about it, because you are just don't want to confront them. And she comes home right when something that should not be on the screen is there. "Did you let them watch that show?"
"Oh my goodness, how did I not see that. Honey these kids are getting too resourceful, I would not have let them watch that if I wasn't cleaning up the kitchen."

Ok, then there is the time Phoebe the puppy had a major smelly accident in the family room. "Honey, you didn't give Phoebe a burger again did you?" "Honey, Of course not. Ever since you told me not to give him a burger again, I know not to go against your rules."
