Dog Pee Saves Lives
Brianna is a young woman in a very good relationship with her boyfriend, Brad. Brad worked at a mechanic shop and he would go to work at 7:00 in the morning while he let Brianna (Bri) sleep in. Bri was a stay at home woman. She was hoping that he would propose to her soon. She has been wanting him to propose for 2 years now. She knew that he was the one.
Brad got home from work one day and Brad wanted to have a conversation with Bri. They sat down.
“ So, You are the most beautiful woman in the whole world. You make me smile everyday. When I get home from work, and I have had a terrible day, you make me feel so much better, you are the sun to my sky, and the peanut to my butter”. They both laugh. Brad gets on his knee, “Will you marry me?”
“Are you serious, YES”. They were both so happy. Bri was so excited because she had been waiting for this day for 2 years and the day finally came.
Brad stood up and put the ring on Bri’s finger. They kissed. Later that night they were just having fun. They were listening to music, drinking wine and dancing. Brad had surprised her with wine after he proposed. They were having so much fun.
About 2 hours later they got ready for bed. Bri had taken her makeup off, got in the shower and got her nightgown on. Brad also got in the shower but only put boxers on.
They both got into bed and went to sleep for the night.
About a week later they were talking about some things.
“What do you think we should do for the future?” Brad asked
“ Honestly, I think we should get a new house. This one has so many things wrong with it. The sink doesn't work half of the time, the walls are starting to break down, this house is falling apart.” Bri said.
“I get it and I think you are right. We need to get a new house for a fresh start once we are married.” said Brad.
“ We might want to start packing. Not right away. We should probably also get rid of some things.” Bri said.
“Yeah, for sure” Brad said.
About a month later Brad and Bri had their wedding. All of their relatives came and supported them. Bri’s mom was so happy for her and couldn't stop smiling. Brad's dad was proud of him for finding a woman that was so good for him. They had their ceremony, and they were dancing all night long. When they cut the cake they did the traditional feeding each other a piece. Bri had an amazing idea and she knew Brad wouldn't get mad. When they gave each other the piece, Bri gave Brad a bite and then smashed it in his face. Everyone was so shocked and Brad just started to laugh. Brad also put some in Bri’s face, but not enough to ruin her makeup. After a long night Brad and Bri slow danced for the final song.
About 2 months later they found a house and finished packing. They are on the way to their new house, well, new to them. When they got to the house they started to get everything in the house. The movers were so nice and helped them get all of their belongings in the house.
Once everything was in the house, Brad and Bri sat down on the couch and relaxed. They started to talk about what they needed to do to get the house up and running.
“We are going to need to go grocery shopping, we are going to need to get all of our dishes out and ready to use, we also need to get the sheets and blankets out of the boxes and put them on the bed” Brad said.
“Oh, and we are going to need to plug in the fridge” Bri chuckled as she said.
“ Right” Brad laughed.
“We are also going to need to get toiletries when we go to the store.” Bri said.
“Right” Brad said as he wrote it down.
They went over the layout of the house and figured out where to put everything. They have the master bedroom, of course, they have 2 closets, one for each. They have a bathroom in the bedroom.
A few days have gone by and Brad still had to go to work. Bri had unpacked some things and was cleaning most of the things that she brought out. The house came with a washer and dryer so she was washing clothes throughout the day while she was unpacking. She had gotten out the cleaning supplies for washing rugs. She began to wash the rug in the living room. The water was coming back mostly clean. Bri was very surprised.
While Bri was cleaning the house, She felt like something was missing. She wanted more but she thought, I have so much, why would I want more. She had been thinking about starting a family with Brad but she didn't want to rush him. She thought about it and had decided that she was going to ask Brad a question when he got home.Bri started to get dinner ready. Brad only worked for another hour, so she wasn't too worried.
The hour went by and Bri had almost finished cooking dinner. She made some breaded chicken, corn, and stuffing. Brad walked through the door.
“ It smells amazing in here darling” Brad said.
“Why thank you honey” Bri said while smiling.
They both sat down and started to eat. About halfway through dinner, Bri started to talk.
“Sweetie, I've been thinking about starting a family with you for a very long time now”
“ Honey…” Brad started to say
“Please let me finish” Bri insisted.
Brad waved his hand in response.
“ I don't want to rush our relationship so i've been thinking, and I want to get a dog”
Brad was surprised “ I actually think that that is an amazing idea”. “ How about we go out on saturday and you can pick one out?”
“Deal,” Bri said excitedly. They both smiled and gave each other a kiss. They finished eating and now it was time to get ready for bed.
The next day, Thursday, Brad woke up and started to get ready for work. Bri woke up and went to give Brad a hug and kiss good morning. Bri figured if they were going to get a dog, they would have to dog proof the house.
“I was thinking and I am going to have to dog-proof the house today. Things are going to look pretty different when you get home tonight.” Bri said.
“I am completely fine with that. I would rather have it look different than have everything chewed up.” Brad slightly chuckled. “Well, I am off to work. I love you”
“I love you too” Bri said. They kiss and Brad is off to work. Bri starts to clean around the house. She first went to the bathroom to get all of the cleaning supplies and put them in a bin, and put it under the sink, so the dog wouldn't die from poisoning. She does the same with toiletries. She finished up in the bathroom and went into the living room to also finish unpacking. She gets a few boxes done and then she realises that she hasn't unpacked her clothes yet. She thinks, I don't want the dog to chew up my clothes. She unpacks her clothes and hangs them up in her closet. She also does the same for Brad's clothes, so he would stop wrinkling them. She finishes up with them. When she was done with the boxes in her and Brad's room, the room looked so much bigger. She was proud and she sat down on the bed. She was getting exhausted from moving around for a few hours. She sits down on the bed and before she even meant to and she fell asleep.
Brad came home and he didn't see Bri. He was a little worried but did not want to panic. He looks in the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. He goes to look in his room and he sees her laying peacefully and sees that she is exhausted. He doesn't want to wake her but he knows she wouldn’t want to go to sleep with makeup on and dirty. He wakes her up very gently.
“Bri, sweetie. I'm home” Brad says softly. Bri starts to wake up. She look outside and sees that it is getting dark
“Oh no, how long have I been out. I couldn’t have fallen asleep.” Bri says worried.
“ Honey, it's ok. You have been unpacking and cleaning the house for about a week straight, you're exhausted. You are able to fall asleep once in a while”. Brad says, reassuring her.
“Ok. Wait, I haven't made dinner.” Bri says worried again.
“Don't worry, I can make something to eat. You just get ready for bed. You earned it” Said Brad.
Bri got ready for bed and after a while so did Brad. They both fell asleep.
The next morning Bri and Brad wake up and do the usual getting ready. Brad finishes up and heads off to work.Bri has two more rooms to unpack, they weren't that bad. Just extra things in case a guest stays the night. Bri finishes up with the last few boxes and gets up to make something to eat. She makes eggs and bacon for herself. She gets a glass of milk and sets that, and her plate on the table to start eating. When she started to eat, she noticed that there was a box in the kitchen that she didn't recognize. She went over to it and opened it. A big puppy jumped out. Bri got so scared but she was so excited because it was a puppy. Brad comes out from hiding.
“SURPRISE” Brad yelled.
“This is amazing” Bri exclaimed “ What's its name?” Bri asked.
“Her name is Juliana” Brad said in response.
“ I love it,” She said happily. “ Wait, why are you home so early?” Bri asked, confused.
“ The shop was slow so the boss sent us home” Brad said.
“Ahh” Bri says.
A few hours later Brad and Bri had gotten everything for the puppy. They were so happy to be having this expansion to their family. Bri started to cook dinner. She made some leftovers. She made ham with cheese, green beans, and had some wine. Bri finished up making dinner and she looked down and Juliana was right there. Bri knew the dog was begging but she couldn't help it. She grabbed a little piece of ham and gave it to her. Juliana looked back up at Bri as if to say “More please”.
“ No, that's all you get okay. You still have some food in your bowl over there.” Bri said. Brad started to laugh slightly. Bri looked at him and started to laugh too. They set the table and started to eat. Bri looks down at juliana and then looks at Brad and says
“It is so hard not to give her my food when she looks like that” Bri winned. Brad just started to laugh.
“You really do like her, don't you?” Brad said.
“I love her”Bri said.
They finish up eating and get ready for bed. Juliana was right next to them while they brushed their teeth and when Bri was taking her makeup off. Bri bent down to pet Juliana, but ended up picking her up instead. Brad called Bri over to the bed to show her something. She walked over. Juliana just relaxed and laid her head on Bri. Bri was melting in pure joy. Little did she know that pure joy would not stay forever. They woke up the next morning and smelled something. They looked around and found little droplets of poop. Juliana saw them coming and she ran. Juliana knew that this was wrong. Bri went and grabbed a grocery bag and picked up the poop. She dropped the bag outside the door. She was walking back inside and stepped in a wet spot.
“WHYYY” Bri yelled.
“What happened?” Brad said, worried.
“Juliana peed on the carpet,” Bri said, mad.
“Oh”
“Yeah. Now I am going to get the carpet cleaner and get this up.” Bri said
“ Ok. I'll take Juliana on a walk” Brad said
“Deal”.
Bri washed the rug and flushed the gross water down the toilet. She had heard that if you spray vinegar and lemon on the carpet or wherever you don't want your dog to pee. She had also planned on using a spray bottle with just water when she does something bad. She had finished getting this mess cleaned up and was going to make some breakfast for Brad and herself. She made some pancakes and had strawberries and whipped cream on them.
Brad walked in the door and yelled that there were Japanese aircraft in the town and that they were bombing. They panicked and ran. One came through the room. Juliana went to go sniff it. She must have realised that it didn't smell like another dog's territory so she peed on it to make it hers. By the time that the bomb was set to go off, it had just stayed there and the aircrafts were now gone. Bri went to their phone and called 911. She said that a bomb was in their home and it did not go off. The 911 operator told her to get herself and her husband and anything she needed out of the house immediately. She did as she was told and told her husband and grabbed Juliana. They waited outside as people in weird uniforms went into their house and took out the bomb. They were told that they were all set to go back inside and that they would get a call when they found out what had happened to the bomb, because Bri told them that their dog had saved them.
Bri, Brad, and Juliana went inside and looked at the damage. There wasn't too much damage to the roof or the floor.
“I think that we can have this fixed in a day” Brad said
“I sure hope so, it's supposed to rain tomorrow” Bri said
“ I will start working on it then” Brad said
“ Hold on Mr. You need to eat breakfast” Bri said playfully. Brad came back over to the table and started to eat his breakfast.
Brad finished eating breakfast and started to get working on the roof. The nextdoor neighbors have some extra shingles that Brad was able to use. Brad got the roof fixed in about three and a half hours. While Brad was finishing up with the roof, Bri got a phone call. It was the police station and they told her why the bomb did not go off.
“We examined the bomb and the reason that the bomb was because there was liquid in the wrong parts. Your dog did save you and your husband's life. We are awarding her with the blue cross medal.” Said the officer.
“Oh my gosh. That's amazing. Our dog does really love us I guess” Bri said while laughing.
About one week later the officer had come by and dropped off the medal. Bri and Brad were so proud of julia.
