Bonus Sunday Night Post: The Bad Dog and the Sea

Milo the Destructor of Worlds has earned himself a new nickname: First Mate.
Our little man went on his first canoe ride tonight, and he handled it like a champ.

When Brian suggested we give it a try, I immediately envisioned a grappling match involving nails clawing into skin and limbs slipping through my grasp and, ultimately,a giant splash wherein Milo exits the canoe starboard and sinks like a rock. Milo, however, decided to be on his best behavior instead. I guess there's a first time for everything.

Observe:

Awww, here we are in the canoe together. Aren't we cute?
Like a f*cking Christmas card, over here.




This is honestly the first time I ever saw him sit so still for so long.



Again, sitting still. I swear, he was either hypnotized by the water, or having a petit mal seizure. Either way...awesome.


Too bad Jericho is a vagina and won't step foot on the dock if we even think about getting him in the canoe. I mean, I know we neutered him and all but seriously, that dog needs to grow a pair.

So this is pretty much what we have here at home:


What a team...

But....BUT ...at least one of them will get in the canoe now.

Small victories, people. Small victories.

The dog-in-canoe pics were very cute.

Almost as cute, though, as the strategically-placed asterisk in the word "f*cking."

That g#dd@mn sh!t was totally f*ck!ng b!tch@ss cute!

The real test would be if he willingly gets back into the canoe for another ride.

I also enjoy how Jericho tolerates sharing the couch but refuses to acknowledge the wee-one's presence by sitting with his back towards Milo.
