Don't sign me up for a dog!

So, watching Monique's kids for the weekend. No biggie, except for the dumb dog. This dog is dumber than creamed corn. She is a half basset hound/half yellow lab mix. So, think basset body but lab face and coat. Anyway, we're all hanging out today watching Singin' In The Rain' when I noticed a dinner plate sized puddle of dog vomit. That sealed the deal for me, that I don't want to have a dog. Then I had to listen to Kristen and Jake fight about who was going to clean it up. Grrrr.....Kristen stormed off, Jake got gloves and set about cleaning it up. I threatened Kristen with an evening entirely in the basement if she chose not to clean it up. It took her about 10 seconds to decide that a night downstairs was not the option she really wanted. We then discovered ANOTHER puddle of stuff downstairs. By this time, Jake had cleaned everything upstairs, so that left Kristen with the chore of downstairs. BUT, Kara stepped in the puddle downstairs. And the best part? Stephanie slept through the entire thing. She was on the couch while everyone was gagging and arguing about who was gonna have to do the nasty. Ugh...
Part II: Turns out that Bella, the dog, ate a WHOLE TUB OF BUTTER! It was on the counter and she swiped it off somehow. The container was licked clean. Dumb dog...
