Food time is Lil Alā€™s FAVORITE time! šŸ˜… What do your pups get excited over?

šŸ¶ AITA for barking at the mailman every day even though heā€™s never done anything to me personally?

Okay, so hereā€™s the deal.
Almost every day this guy in a uniform shows up and approaches our house. My job description (self-appointed, but still) is Head of Security and Snack Detection, so naturally, I alert the household. Loudly. Repeatedly. Professionally.

And every day, my human yells, ā€œBuddy, heā€™s not here for you!ā€
Which, first of all, rude ā€” he literally walks up to our door. That seems very much for me.

Anyway, this man drops off suspicious paper rectangles and boxes and leaves. He never tries to break in. Never steals. Never even makes eye contact anymore.

But I know thatā€™s how they get you. It starts with trust.

So yeah, I bark. Every. Single. Time.
And now my human says Iā€™m ā€œembarrassingā€ and ā€œhave a vendetta.ā€

But if the mailmanā€™s really so innocentā€¦ why does he only come when my humanā€™s not watching the window?
Exactly.

So, AITA for staying vigilant? Or am I the only one around here taking national security seriously? šŸ¾šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Crowd around whoever has food! Except Alex, heā€™ll sit back and let it all play out. Thatā€™s what old men do. šŸ«£šŸ˜†

Doesnā€™t everyone get the zoomies after a nice warm bath? And yes, heā€™s still wet. He REFUSED to let me blow dry him and only let me towel dry him very minimally. He wanted to RUN and at 15 years old we just go with the flow.

Already failing at posting every day in October! Weā€™re sliding into the month exhausted and ready for a nap - but we can do this!

I love Halloween, too. Donā€™t get me wrong. But after walking through Loweā€™s I want to get my tree out now! Would I be crazy, if I did??

Tomorrow we get our staples out, so tonight we snuggle! šŸ’™

He wears his PJs so well while recovering. Such a sweet boy, he wanted nothing to do with scrambled eggs but he was ALL about boiled Chicken & Rice!

My husband said they were the ā€œmost expensive pair of Hey Dudes ever madeā€ - and I have to agree!

In case youā€™re wonderingā€¦ the ER vet charges thousands of dollars to take X-Rays and tell you that you need surgeryā€¦ thankfully we were able to get to our regular vet for the actual surgery. And even though it was still thousands of dollars, it was 1/4 of what the ER vet had quoted us for the procedure.

The foam was stuck in his small intestine, and it was bad enough - but it could have been so much worse.

Iā€™m thankful for a husband who didnā€™t treat me like I was overreacting when I told him something was seriously wrong with Lil Al after he refused his second meal, and for all of the doctors and nurses who took care of him at both VCA ER & VCA Stoney Creek.

Heā€™s still recovering and weā€™ll be paying off these bills for a while, but heā€™s doing really well!

And the thing in the bag is what came out of his small intestines! šŸ˜«šŸ’”
