Crazy Dog Mom is a real Affliction or The many faces of #SJFT.

WARNING WARNING WARNING: This post is a ridiculous dog mom post. We will resume regular programming on Friday!10409438_10101582214267145_2138299052750815863_n  Darlings,My little, tiny, baby Stanley James is turning 2 today. We adopted little Stanley from a kill shelter down south.10151869_10101241163630355_4826002826042441373_nLOOK AT THAT SHAYNA PUNIM! Can you believe that le hubs didn't even want to adopt him? Well, he didn't not want to adopt him in particular, but he didn't want to adopt a dog because apparently, I'm not responsible enough. Well, darlings, that might be true, but we all adjust to the changes that life throws at us, right?!And so one night, feeling especially sassy (WHO ME?!), le hubs and I were at dinner and I started crying into my boeuf borguinon because I just felt that it was time for me to become a dog mom. And so, le hubs really had no choice but to give in to my maternal whims (darling, can you imagine what will happen when I decide I want a baby?!) and call the adoption agency and say - WE'RE IN.We had to have an interview so that they knew that we would be fit to raise such a regal dog. And then we had to drive down to Vermont to pick him up. So on a rainy day, we packed into the Subaru and went to pick up our new little crazy.10155341_10153327315627925_1823635582446737583_nWe named him Stanley because le hubs and I met and got married on lake Stanley.img_1529But it just so happens that he also shares a whole lot of personality traits as the lovable Stanley Hudson. So it kind of worked out.
 He quickly also became one of the most mischievous little devils ever.1908370_10101371777583945_6070172482076550032_nBut we keep loving him, because for all of the egg shells he destroys on the sofa, all of the pairs of glasses and shoes he eats, all of the chastity belt like protection he has for me and for all of the nights he stays up barking at nothing - he makes us so happy. When he snuggles, there is nothing better in life, when he sighs in his sleep, the jokes about how tough his life must be never get old, and when he gets sassy, it's the most ridiculous thing ever.For every moment of love and for every moment of crazy, he has a nickname, an outfit and a bitchy resting face.541703_10101817761284035_1734617072726764675_n  12088395_10102157783836115_4487821346084261058_n 12000846_10102122533997075_8317211038060957691_o 11703430_10102023478060965_2353029874240997794_o.jpg  1743701_10101714455494665_359364891473602132_n10888746_10101672535881905_4224560920796344637_n 10917402_10101709590534085_7394981443604790008_n10438593_10101607580053905_4905162717293261596_n10885461_10101653414256795_945455810025484747_n11038640_10101868887526635_6598238683879630942_n12313855_10102223265734865_1086159972639320750_n 1653987_10101642722917325_2933644077202148136_nGloria is my personal favorite - as in Agador Spartacus saying "Come on, Gloria" as he picks up a boom box playing Gloria Estefan and leaves the kitchen.In fact, I think the reason I love Stanley James Fox Tysoe so much is because even more than Stanley Hudson, he reminds me of Agador Spartacus, one of the greatest characters in all of film history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnd7Urx28f8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwU2ypTsVLg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYiKRaBDizk So, happy birthday to my favorite baby, Stanley.I hope you never stop embracing the snark of your namesake, Stanley Hudson, or the sass of your spirit animal, Agador Spartacus.Here's hoping that next year you develop a taste for milkbones instead of Prada (please, like that could ever happen!)xoxolcf
