The first night LilZ and I started painting his room, I had a bizarro back spasm that kept me from standing up. LilZ had to help me to the bathroom where I soaked in the tub and all was well again. No biggee.
I spent a good chunk of Saturday painting. I came home for a break and to do some laundry. When I went to stand up from the desk, my back spazzed (spasmed?) again and I couldnt stand up. Only this time? There was no LilZ to help me. Soooo….I got on my hands and knees and decided to crawl to the bathroom to soak in the tub.
Are you picturing this? You should be…it gets better.
At that moment, Sweetie decided I was playing a game and started play biting MY ASS. She would nibble and then run away, like we were playing some bizarro form of tag. This, of course, got me laughing because she wouldn’t stop. This, of course, made my back cramp up worse which kept me from doing ANYTHING but maintaining the all-fours position while Sweetie continuously nipped at my ass.
Luckily, my bathroom is only about 20 feet from the chair the problem started in, so eventually I made it there. I shut the door to look the animals out, and just flattened out on the floor of the bathroom for ten minutes or so, savoring the victory my ass won against my dog.
This? Is my life.










Zoot, This is too funny! Not your back spasms, but the dog going after your ass! Great story- hope your back spasms get better soon!
Zoot, you are hilarious! I too have crawled the “all fours” crawl of pain, and it was no fun! But I didn’t have an animal biting my butt! I think you should market “Life with The Zoots” to ABC.
heh…dogs suck.
umm this painting? Is taking a REALLY long time eh?
lmao. it’s a damn good thing that i wasn’t drinking anything when i read this! totally would have come out of my nose!
dude, why are you painting!? you’re preggers!
Hilarious! There should be a note at the top of this entry not to read it at work - I’m glad my snorts weren’t too loud.
Oh, yeah, and hope your back feels better.
Hahaha, biting your ass….
Sounds like your little one is pulling the same thing mine did…sitting on your sciatic nerve! My baby girl was on my sciatic nerve for a few months! I’d be walking and BAM, almost fall to my knees…I’m gonna guess you’re having a girl! We’re terrors like that LOL.
I’m sorry about your back. Also? Is it wrong I laughed really hard?
