Gave Benson a sponge bath in the kitchen while I was in a slack huddle with my team.

I went to clean his butt and he instantly clenched, sat down, and then went on a giant zoomie, making the bar cart rattle, running into the plants, and making the dishes cupboard shake like an earthquake.

He makes me laugh so much.

Benson loves being a clean boi but he does not like having his butt touched!

Whatever giant gremlin inhabited Benson after his sponge down can kiss my ass.

He went from docile stinky schmoopie to food foraging menace who almost knocked a mug of coffee onto my laptop.

I heard the chaos from the other room and found him slurping up the remaining dregs of my heavily creamed coffee on the floor. Is incidental caffeine bad for dogs?

He later refused to go for a walk (once again turning around in his harness as soon as the front door shut behind us.) He sat in protest until we went back inside and I fed him.

He's snoring now.

Asshole.

@DeliaChristina Just another Tuesday with Benson, eh?

I love your Benson stories.

@DeliaChristina Pete straight loses his mind after a bath. We have to pursue a policy of containment and throwing him things to shred afterward. Or we have daycare bathe him.
@DeliaChristina so FYI, caffeine is bad but more body weight = more needed to really cause problems. Dregs in a coffee cup is no big deal for a shmoopie his size.
@DeliaChristina Please never stop telling us Benson stories. 🥰

We had a terrier who could carry my paper coffee cups from the side table to the floor to drink the last few sips. It took me a while to figure out what was happening. I'd find my cup empty on the floor but without a spill and assume I'd finished it.
