Last night I was gloriously woken once more from a sound sleep with the cry of a little girl, begging for me to take her to the bathroom. It was one of those scenes out of a scary movie where the woman jumps up from a laying position to a sitting position, and all but yelling out, "What?!"
I would be that woman.
I merely muttered a "okay I'm coming!" in my half awake state, still haven't fully sure I was even awake at that time.
My precious little girl has had a problem with nighttime diarrhea and I have to wonder if as a momma, I shall ever sleep a full night's sleep again. This I pondered as I stood outside in the freezing cold weather after having stripped my snot of her clothes and allowed her to wander in complete and utter darkness as I stood watch over her. I didn't wish to bother neighbors and have them join in on the "let's wake at 2 am!!" party I had going on.
And lemme tell ya, when you're up at 2 am and in the pitch dark of the night, there are some weird creatures out. Some that fly around ya and still some that screech at you from the dark eaves of the porch. [shivers]
I should pause and note...
My little girl is a dog.
I am a mom to a few feathered, furry, fuzzy beings. Cute and adorable when they are being good... and little demon children that I'd like to trade in on those angel's that were brought here, when they are bad.
You're wondering at this point, why is this 10 lbs dog walking around in a onesie exactly?
She has a boo boo.
My boo boo has a giant scab on her bottom from scooting around on it in the dirt and grass and cutting it up. So the only way for her, and the other pets, to leave it alone, and allow the wound to heal, is for momma to doctor it up and then wrap her up in this onesie, which is probably the cutest thing on the planet when she's walking around--granted I'm sure others might think it weird, but when you find a solution that works, you keep to it gosh darnnit!
What was I saying? Oh yes... the onesie.
The onesie I have her in, looks like this...
Adorable isn't she? She's too much.
No really. She is.
The onesie, if you've got a small dog, I must recommend as it's the best thing to keep their little bodies warm, and/or covered shall you need them to have wounds protected, as I have been doing. I don't approve of using those Elizabethan collars (cones) on pets that could simply get away with using a t-shirt or in this case, a onesie. Just my personal opinion.
But as a mom I have to wonder sometimes... how do I even manage to function on so little sleep?
It's really a modern miracle.
