I want a bedpan hat for my birthday!

We had my brother in-law and his wife over the other day for some drinks and a movie. They enjoy the dogs and love the quirky character of my Basenjis. We chatted, sipped some wine and got ready to watch the movie. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed, but chose to ignore, our boy tearing up a mostly consumed roll of toilet paper. There was more in the bathroom and I was kicking back and watching the movie with our guests so I did not run over right away. He was able to swallow a little bit and I figured it would be “eliminated” on our walk after company leaves. No worries. He later decided that he would join the party and see if he could get someone to scratch his tummy like we were doing for our basenji girl Jezebel. She plops on our laps and insists that she be tickled or scratched – she lets you know. So we continue to enjoy the movie and I notice that Oli had positioned himself just above my shoulders on the back of the sofa, directly above my head. Everyone is commenting how are dogs are so very cat like and that most dogs would be happy to be on the floor when all of a sudden – blap! He barfed on my head. I was in shock! My gut reaction was to catch it as I felt the hot stinky fluid spreading over my head – OMG it was gross! I leapt to my feet, hands cupped around my face to keep the liquid from getting in my eyes and screamed at my husband to get me a towel as I ran into the bathroom. I emerged with a very cleanly scrubbed scalp to a room filled with shock, awe and uncontrolled laughter. Oli sat in front of me and barrooed.
