Funny Baby and Dog Mishaps

As a continuation to Tuesday’s post on awesome mommy fails, here are a few more that have happened in the last few weeks.

My Dogs Ate Two Bibs

So it turns out that my dogs like to help “clean up” after the boys’ meals, which is totally understandable when you look at the smorgasboard that is the floor, the high chairs, my chair, the counter, the barstools on either side of the high chairs, etc. Unfortunately I failed to take this into account when I placed the food-coated plastic pocket bibs on a barstool before taking the boys upstairs for morning nap the other day. When I came back down, I found one bib in the foyer and the other in my dog’s mouth as he snuck out of his crate guiltily. Oops.

My Dogs Ate a Mesh Baby Feeder

We thought we were geniuses when we purchased the Munchkin Fresh Food Feeders for $1 each at a yard sale, and let’s face it, we kind of were. Where our brilliance ended was when we left said feeders on the Bumbo trays when we took the boys upstairs to get cleaned up after they devoured juicy mango for the first time. Well, then our dogs’ genius took over, because Ty the bullmastiff destroyed one of the feeders to get to his own juicy mango snack. Oops again.

I Dropped a Whole Bowl of Baby Food on the Dog

Just as I finished stirring the perfect mixture of homemade fruit puree and homemade ground rice, I went to set the bowl down on the dining room table and completely missed. The result resembled a Jackson Pollock painting. One with a pug in it, wherein the pug is covered in baby food. And so is the table cloth, the legs of the high chair, splotches of the floor, the walls, and my legs. At least Pickles had fun cleaning up.

My Baby Teethed on a Dog Bone

We are pretty good about picking up dog toys, but sometimes we miss one. Fortunately, Miles is happy to find them for us. And then to make sure they’re okay for doggie use by gnawing on them himself. Thanks, Monkey. We sure do appreciate that.

My Dog Knocked my Baby Over

Well, this one happens every day. So never mind.

My Dog French Kissed my Baby

Ditto. Sigh. I’m a terrible parent.
