Earlier today, I texted both my mom and mother in law a picture of my daughter's first haircut. My MIL sent me a private text back that read : Wow! Grown up girl! So pretty!!"
My mom, however, texted the group back with: Oh so cute at animal hospital all day Bentley blind in one eye other issues :(
first of all, yes, I'm thrilled she acknowledged my daughter first. And she has a tendency to follow up nice things with odd info about her dogs. secondly, god only knows what my MIL thinks. I don't think she knows who Bentley is and since I then sent my mom a PM, the questions may still remain.
anyway, in my PM i asked her how her dog was and what was going on. I got this response about 5 hours later:
An infection under his neck
Pusie smells terrible
Won't eat or drink or go to the bathroom -- won't move at all just wimpers (sic).
Now, i have to say, it sounds terrible. but the 2nd sentence had me laughing out loud. a lot. so much so that i sent the text to both my brother and sister. As we all know, my mom's texting is ... well ... unusual sometimes but we also know that she lacks boundaries so who the hell knew what she meant? my brother confirmed she meant "pus" and that the dog is OK, despite my mom's diagnosis.
I'm kind of shocked autocorrect didn't catch that one (really, autocorrect? of all the things to let slip) but it gave me and my siblings a laugh, which was nice. I'll find out more about her pup but for now the mystery of the terrible smelling pusie has been solved.
