banana breath

Sometimes this Moxie dog tries all my patience, especially these days. Usually this occurs on days that we don't get a chance to take her out for a walk and she's antsy and needy for attention. This morning S woke up and walked the dogs, then he went to work and I fed them. Normally they're happy as clams at this point in the day. Having the day off, I was looking forward to lounging on the couch with them and catching up on a little crappy TV before getting on with the productive part of the day. Moxie had another plan for us. In just 15 minutes she at 2 paper towels, an invoice off my stack of bills to pay, my flight itinerary off the printer for my trip to MA at the end of the month, and a banana - peel and all. When I chased her down to try to remove the banana she jumped on the couch and peed, I never got the banana.
After cleaning the couch and making sure there were no other "edibles" in sight I finally got to my couch relaxing and along comes Moxie with the most terrible breath I've ever smelled on a dog. Imagine a fish stuffed with a banana wrapped in a dirty sock. Did I mention how sensitive my sense of smell is?
Please tell me having kids is different.
PS, check out this super cute picture of Luther. Now that's a dog who can cuddle!
