The award above is appropriately named for my story of the night. My mom came over to keep me company and decided to surprise me and bring Happy (her black lab) along with her. Here is a quick background on good, old Happy. When I was 19, I was at the pet store and saw this adorable puppy that was 3 months old. They said they had named him Crazy. He looked like he really wanted a home, so I did what any irrational teenager that thinks they’re an adult would do and bought him against my mom’s wishes. When I walked in the door back at home, my mother’s exact words were, (before she saw him from the other room) “you better not have brought that….awwww” (that’s when she walked into the room and instantly fell in love). He was supposed to be my dog, but became our dog. When I moved out Happy stayed and he is now very much my mom’s dog. He is still doing well and is almost 12.

Onto the night’s story; Happy got here tonight and was being harassed by my dogs and was all out of sorts. Within 5 minutes, he had an accident on the floor. Great. We cleaned that up and then I went to feed my dogs. The next thing I hear is “oh no, Happy got sick”. Good lord. Okay, let’s clean it up. Finally I thought it was all well and good until his power tail came along and knocked my mom’s cup of tea all over the coffee table and living room floor. Poor guy couldn’t catch a break. Here is the sweetie just relaxing after his rough night.
