Tucker dog and one night of fun!

The past weekend my wife told me she had an exciting meal for us. Chipotle chicken done in a crock pot and it would be good!! So as usual, being the typical man, I nodded my head, grunted and stared at the T.V. as another touchdown was scored. Anyways she worked very hard! Went to the store bought 10 chicken legs and wings with the bones still intact. She put all this in the crock pot and off it went.
Of course, the smell was amazing and when we returned from church on Sunday it was all we could do to not tear into the meat immediately. But the chicken had to be de-boned so I waited patiently in the living room as my dear wife "pulled" the chicken. Of course unknown to us a plot was being formed!
A plot of extraordinary proportions! And it came in the form of a 20 pound Boston terrier by the name of Tucker. Oh yes our little baby was plotting on us. From the minute he began to smell the chicken to the minute my wife put the chicken bones in the trash, he had finalized his attack and now it was a matter of time!
Tucker waited only a few minutes after mom and dad left and then it was on. First it was locate the chicken bones because they just smelled so good! Secondly the foam packaging which was just fun to chew on! Third a dessert was needed so of course the half eaten chocolate cake was a added bonus. But none of this was a fun as dragging it all out into the living room, sitting down and watching T.V. that daddy had left on for his personal enjoyment.
I mean think about it, if someone left you a whole bag of food and the TV on wouldn't you go to town and just have a night to remember? Of course what would make it even better, is if you could run up and down the stairs, jump on mom and daddies bed and then throw up all over of the place! Now that would make it even better!
Of course what didn't make it better were the 9 chicken bones the young lad had and all of sudden the world didn't look like a big party, in fact it began to look like chicken and oh dear I am going to throw up....................................
Meanwhile, Mom and Dad arrived home. When we arrived there in the living room was huge circle of trash in all around the T.V.. The house smelled of dead things and then we saw Tucker. His belly was twice the size of a normal dogs. And so an immediate trip to ER.
So your next question, how much did a night of fun cost daddy? A cool and easy grand....... So having kids wont get any better???????
