"Crappy" end to the week

[EngstromNK]

I just had one of those tough weeks that we all have had. Long days at work. Wife worked four of five evenings. The evening she was home I had to work until 10:30. I coached one other evening and have to coach tonight as well.

I was driving at about 11:00 to check a crew on a jobsite. I have my faithful yellow lab Cody in the back of the minivan where he rides when we are at work. I get nervous when he lets out a little whine. He is usually silent. Since I am only about 1/4 mile to the site I tell him to hold on he will be out in a minute.

Then I heard the noise...

I know what I sound like when I have a "wet fart". At some time in our lives it has to happen but this time I heard it come from my dog. The smells then started to flow from the back of the van to me as I pulled into the driveway.

I hopped out still hopeing that there was only gas but it was not to be. As I opened the rear hatch of the van Cody bolted out and proceded to squat in the yard and blow a$$. Because I was watching him I almost was rained upon by the brown liquid dripping off the rear hatch that was now over my head. I think if the back of the van had been any worse I would have puked. Some how he was lined up with the center of the back hatch when he let loose. What did not stick to the back hatch ran down into the locking mechanism and from there into the carpet where he walked in it and ground it into the rest of the carpet.

The van is now at the shop being detailed. They take you back to work and pick you up when the car is done. It comes in the $165 detailing fee!!!

All four of my kids will be sleeping at my parents house tomorrow night so I will be enjoying many refreshments at the bar.
