Moms on vacation for a few weeks

Saturday morning my mom left to go to Florida with her boyfriend for 18 days. My daughter boy friend came over from 2-6pm. My boyfriend dropped by with a bottle of delicious Red Cat Sangria for me and Whisky for him. He got really drunk and was so annoying and not even making sense the things he was saying. My daughter and her friend thought it was hilarious. I did not! My dog was sitting on my boyfriends lap and my daughters friend put his hand out to try and pet her and she bit at him. She’s never bit anyone before this. My boyfriend thinks she was trying to protect him. I felt terrible she did that. Sunday my kids and I went grocery shopping and a few other places. My son has been a ukulele so we went to Guitar Center. They were very helpful and nice there. My son used money that he has been saving and bought one. He loves it! The photo was taken inside Guitar Center.

Why do you put up with this guy anyway? One time I was holding my dog, and somebody tried to take him to pet him and he snapped at her. I think insecure pets react like that.

@Tina30219 that was really sweet that he agreed to that . Her friend may come back over this weekend. I looked at Walmart for a muzzle but they only had large ones and she needs a small.

@Tina30219 I’d have to drive ten miles to check at the closest one. The rest are all 30 miles away near Walmart.

@Tampa_girl7 I thought so too. This wall is all ukuleles which are smaller then guitars. They had so many guitars on other walls it was neat to see some of them. The most expensive one we saw in the room was $2700.

Your mom picked the right place to be. It’s gorgeous now. I didn’t realize she had a boyfriend. So glad your son saved up and bought himself something he loves! Too bad your boyfriend gets drunk in front of your daughter and her friend. Too bad he drinks so much!

@DianneN she lives with my dad and has a boyfriend. Awkward situation. When my boyfriend was drunk and acting like that I said to the two teens and my son that seeing this is exactly why they dont want to get drunk someday.

@DianneN they had to divorce years ago when my dad had a stroke to get disability or something like that but I really think it was just an excuse so she could be with other guys and think it’s okay because they aren’t married anymore.

Did your daughters' friend go to the doctor for that bite? I think the dog did not like him.

@thelme55 nope she bit at him and I thought she got him but I guess she was just trying to warn him or he pulled his hand back fast enough because she didn't actually get him.

Hope your mom has a lovely trip! Oh no about the dog bite - maybe the hand came to her too suddenly? How wonderful your son is a proud owner of his very own ukulele . . . does he already know how to play it?

@much2say I should have told him the best way to put his hand out first to let her sniff it before trying to per her. He is learning a few new songs on it. I can’t think of the names of the songs off the top of my head though.

@shaggin Ah, that must've been it then - yah, a dog would need a heads up (hands up ) first. Just a few chords and your son can do a lot of songs - I'm sure he's having fun with it!

So your mom has a boyfriend? How about your dad? Some dogs are really aggressive. Glad your son have a new ukulele to play

@averygirl72 yeah my mom has my dad and a boyfriend. Read my comment to DianneN it explains a little more. My dad is only allowed to be with her ... unfair! My son is really enjoying his new instrument.

I am sure that the dog wanted to protect him, but also she felt insecure if to trust or not the friend of your daughter. I hope the bite was not too serious.

@LadyDuck I’ve been bit by so many dogs in my my life but some people will report dogs and they will have to be put down. I wouldn’t be able to stand it if the authorities told me I had to have my dog put down.

@LadyDuck she tried to bite him. He either pulled his hand back to fast or she didn’t really want to bite him but just to warn him. I’m not sure but I am so thankful he didn’t actually get bit. His parents might have been mad if he come home with a bite on his hand.

@shaggin If she did not bite him, she only warned him and I am so glad that the boy did not come back home with a bite on his hand.

The dog biting at them definitely isn't good. I hope that doesn't happen again. Aw, your son must be so happy to finally have one and to have gotten it himself.

@Courtlynn a few minutes later when she was on the ground she ran right up to him for treats. She never gets that close to anyone. I looked for muzzle to buy her at Walmart but they didn't have any. He's really excited but the pitch of it is bothering my nerves. I have him practice in his room then to perform for me after. He keeps going up for a few minutes then coming down and playing for me. I feel bad noise bothers me so much. He's really good how fast he picks up things musically.

Did your son buy an expensive one? Once, I thought I would get one at about a few hundred dollars (so that I could learn to play it too), but in the end, I didn't. (The store closed on the day I came. Later, my niece, who wanted the ukulele in the first place, changed her mind, she didn't want one any more.)

@YrNemo a cheap kid one would be about $20. The one I bought my daughter years back was $50 and a decent started ukulele. He wanted a better one so since it was his money he was using I let him buy a good one that was $99.

@YrNemo guitar looks much harder to play to me then the ukulele. That’s awesome you can play guitar and piano!

@shaggin I play guitar, and still wonder if I should learn ukulele for fun. I think they are similar instruments. The problem is, the day has 24 hrs, and my energy or motivation for anything seems to just disappear. (I am trying to play piano and guitar again these days, "when in doubt, back to the basic" - so far so good, but the idea of getting a ukulele is there sometimes...)

@Janet357 there were too many on the wall to even fit them all in the photo. Lots to choose from. They weren't guitars though they were ukuleles.

@st4nko that is interesting. My dog never likes anyone she doesn’t know really well. She just never tried to bite anyone before.
