Minty Fresh

prosodicSo Lance and I went to Firestone to pick up my car. Since we were only going to be gone for 20 minutes or so, we decided to leave Reece out of the crate.
After I got my car, Lance stopped at the gas station. I headed home, filled with trepidation.
I walked in and Reece came to greet me. Looked around. So far, so good.
Walked into the living room, and...
there were pieces of something on the floor. Something white with red stripes.
Oh shit. A candy cane. Lance had one on the table next to his La-Z-Boy. We totally forgot about it.
Red sticky gunk stuck to the carpet. Wet crunchy bits covered with dog hair. One smug puppy with minty fresh breath.
I can't be mad. After all, this was totally our fault. Instead, I laughed. I laughed as I got out the carpet cleaning spray and started scrubbing up the mess. I laughed every time Reece got close enough for me to smell the peppermint on her breath.
It's been quite a birthday for you kid, hasn't it?
Once Lance got home and I told him, he was quite amused too. Especially later on when I called to Reece with, "come here, Minty Fresh." I think that'll be her new nickname. :)
