Blame It On Mitch

Guess what happened?
I poo'd in the kitchen Friday night after everyone went to bed! I left a real goody right in front of the back door and I went all over the kitchen rug and it wasn't a pretty sight! Mom wasn't too happy when she got up the next morning!

Later on morning walkies, mom thought about how this possibly could have happened and then it dawned on her - it wasn't my fault - it was clearly Mitch's fault!
When mom takes me out to poo after dindin, lots of times Mitch comes along with us. He almost never has to poo but he always pees and then because he hates being bored waiting for me to decide where the best spot is for me to go, he creates distractions to entertain himself!

A motorcycle went by just as I was about to assume the position and Mitch hates motorcycles so he took the opportunity at that moment to lunge forward and try to let the motorcyclist know that it was totally unacceptable to be riding on OUR street in front of OUR house! And naturally I had to forget about what was most important at that moment and back Mitch up, right?
I never got back on track so it's clearly Mitch's fault that I poo'd in the kitchen! Mom has let me off the hook completely and she even hugged and kissed me and apologized to me!
Wow - who would have thought!

I was thinking that if any of you ever need your moms to forgive and forget for any trouble that you might have gotten yourself into, I can mail Mitch to your house and he can take the blame for whatever you've done wrong and all will be forgiven and you'll be GOLD!
Does this sound like a plan?I think this box looks like the perfect fit for you, Mitch!
Get your hiney in there! We want to make sure that you have at least a little bit of breathing room!
The box even says FRAGILE on it, so you're all set! In you go!Is this a great idea, or what?
I'm sitting by the phone! My phone number is area code (BLA)-ME M-ITCH!
I hope to hear from someone soon!

So until next time...................

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  5. Very smart of you to blame everything on your younger brother, Maggie. But you won't have to ship Mitch here to NC. I have Ambrose to blame things on - everything is his fault anyway.

    Your friend,

  6. Will that be AIRE-mail? teeehehheee. Anyways, it was most nice of you to contain the mess to one spot. Not like Puffers when he gets a tummy ache. I hafta point out spots SHE misses. It's good to know I am not the only distractable female around. Sometimes I hafta go soooo bad, but as soon as I get out things like squirrels and cars and wind and sun distract me, and I forget why I came out....only to hafta go out again as soon as I come back inside. Anyways, back to the BLAME MITCH campaign, will that work for a slighty chewed pair of shoes too? A new pair came into the house last week and in my process of investigation, I....ummm...slightly totally removed the decoration from one and there are nibble marks on the other. SHE whipped out her Jr. Forensic Science kit and matched the toofer marks to ME of all things. I am still looking for a good defense and BLAME MITCH sounds good to me!

  9. Hi, Maggie!
    Of course it was not your fault!
    I don't have that poo problem but sure I can find something to blame Mitch on and now I know he will be here to take the responsability! Great idea!
    Happy sunday!

  10. Oh, Maggie, you made me laugh. Let me tell you a secret - but Pssst! Last Friday I peed right outside the bedroom door... I wonder if there's any way I could blame the stain on Josh?

  11. OMD, I could have used him a couple weeks ago when I peemailed my homie in the kitchen! (I figured since she spends so much time on the computer that that was the best way to contact her, you know?)

    Mitch is the poorpetrator!

  13. Send him over - we can always use another dog to put the blame on.

  14. Hi Maggie, we completely understand that it was not your fault.
    In fact we reckon we could use Mitch over here in Scotland.
    There has been some dog pee'ing in our house because she is hearing fireworks already.
    Now we all know it is Martha but if Mitch could come over that would let her off the hook!
    Thank you so much for the offer.
    The only thing is we currently have a postal strike in the UK so there may be a delay.
    Please ensure Mitch has some food and water in the box - just in case!
    love you lots

  15. Hi there Maggie,

    Got your number in our secret mobile phone just in case, Mocha wakes up and realizes that she normally takes all the blame when ever the lil piappies get into trouble especially when it comes to laundry that gets ripped apart. Waaaaah

  16. Sounds like a great idea to us, but we don't need your services.. we have Fudge. He's always at fault for everything.

  17. Ring ring...Miss Maggie...this is Teka Toy....could you send Mitchie here so Gussie can blame the messes on someone besides me?

    thank you

  18. Oh what a scene! Mitch! You may have yourself a big postal adventure coming up. Maggie, don't know what to say, but good luck with this. Great phone number! Keep us posted on where Mitch is shipping to next....might have a good little business startup on your hands...very creative!

  19. Hoowl, I can't blame anything on Finni, he won't even crouch in the garden. Mum has to take him for walkies straight away after her breakfast (which we share!) otherwise he barks and barks ... and barks ...
    That looks like a fine box Maggie, would be much more fun shredding it ...

  22. bwa haha!!! What will YOU do, Maggie, when Mitch is gone?! Oh wait, I'm not going to wait for your answer cause I'm going to get in line to borrow Mitch... I need all the help I can get!

  23. Well. We like the idea of transport by AireMail. But we'd want BOTH of you to come. To play. We can send you our address if you'd like it! (We place any blame that need be on the moon.)

    Hopefully we'll see you soon,
    Love,

  25. Love the aire-box. With proper postage, it'll get you far away from those crazed motorcyclists! Just ship yourself, post-paid, to say, Papeete--or Christmas Island.

    Now, Kerry Blues don't have the patience of you 'dales. When we gotta go, we just bark until the whole household awakes, even if it's four a.m.!

    Happy day after Halloween,

  26. Poor maggie - I bet you crossed your legs as long as you could - and yes it was Mitch's fault, distracting you that way. Some things just take time!!!

  27. BRILLIANT plan!! I certainly will call you.Hold on a minute..ARCHIE what is the number you are dialing right now??? Well it looks like he will as well!! Love A+A

  28. I think Mitch is going to be doing a lot of traveling. Hehehe. Thank goodness mom understood that it wasn't your fault.

    The nerve of Mitch disrupting your most important business. Humph.

  29. I could clearly use Mitch's help for some things. Perhaps he would be availble when I chew up another sofa pillow. I think you'd really miss him, though, if he was traipsing all over the world.

  30. ha! Maggie, if you rent Mitch out, you can make millions of bucks! A lot of doggies are in need for his services!
    oh I don't like to be distracted when doing my business either!

  31. Will it really be okay to blame Mitch? Will my mom go for that?
    I don' think its a good idea at all to ship your brother anywhere. Then who will you blame?
    I sometimes blame stuff on the cats!

  32. Zach will take him, but he'd had to stay here full time. Zach's not getting distracted, he'd getting old.

    Looking forward to a LARGE package that may be moving. PSSS..mitch, we have plenty of apples for you.

  33. How convenient that Mitch and you are both the same size!! I try to blame my occasional behind -the-couch poos on Mason, but the fact that his are twice the size blows a hole in my story. Think we need another Frenchie....

    Only kidding. We agree with Faya, you'd miss your baby brother too much.

  39. How soon do you think Mitch could get here? I, Patches could have used him yesterday when I chewed up another tomato on Mom's bed! This is the second time I did that! The first time, I did it all over the sheets, but this time, I only got the bedspread!

    Instead of mailing Mitch, you just need to get 6 more mitches! Ha!

  42. Ah well, Maggie, those things happen to all of us. And your mom is so nice AND smart not to blame you. But we think you would be really sad if you mailed Mitch off - think how much you would miss him. Well, we think you would.

  46. Maggie, you´re so smart putting all the blame on Mitch. You´ll be so sad without him, think about it!

  51. I was thinking it would be cool to have a Mitch to blame -- but then I realized that I have my own get out of jail free card sitting right in front of me -- my own too cute for words brother, Just Harry. He's provided cover many many times.

    So thanks for the offer -- but I think you should keep your own little guy around for the next time!!!

    Maggie you are getting up there and things just some time happen to us older people and dogs. All kinds of things that never happened when we were younger.
    Yes!!!

  55. As much as we would love Mitch to come and visit us we certainly would feel mean trying to blame him for something............

    Fortunately as there are three of us by the time we all have finished blaming each other the hoomans have forgotten what the dastardly deed was in the first place.

  62. Rosie would like Mitch shipped at once. Since the temps have turned colder, and Rosie with her shy bladder when it comes to inclement weather, there is an occassional present left down in the basement, so she says Mitch would be a welcome scapegoat for her. But she never gets in trouble anyway, since Mom feels bad that no one trained her as a puppy and she was abused in her previous home so I guess the house rules only apply to me. Come on over Mitch.

  63. you are such a clever girl, maggie! i've got you on speed dial! there have been one or maybe two occasions where having mitch around would have been handy! (ie.cell phone eating, garbage eating, sunglasses eating... i could go on!)

  64. That number doesn't seem to work!
    Good on ya Mitch, for taking the blame here. A real gentleman.
    As to you and the poo Maggie, well, there are a lot worse things in the world, aren't there....
    We love the photo of Mitch in the box, fuzz butt out! Nice fuzz butt that!

  65. Hey Maggie,
    Thanks for the offer but we have Jack. Everything IS Jack's fault. And as far as your accident in the kitchen is concerned was it really Mitch's fault, or was someone who was with you supposed to make certain that you did your business outside but that "person" also got distracted and did not insure that all expected chores had been completed? Maybe that's why your mom was so forgiving and anxious to let Mitch take the fall. We bet he didn't get yelled at either.
