Got the Biting the Plumber Blues

Our dog Klause Miro is quite the character. He is a rescue dog and apparently has issues with anyone in the service industry (I think it's the uniform) and simply does not do well in these service call scenarios. Take yesterday. We had a plumbing nightmare (probably warrants another blog entry) occur where we basically had to have our 59 year old cast iron plumbing replaced in our kitchen area (yeah, not cheap). I really was hoping that since the plumber was dog-friendly (has two dogs) that Klause would have shown an ounce of restraint with him. Unfortunately, it didn't happen that way. Klause bit him on the soles of his work boots and on the calf muscle as he was sniffing his leg. I must have apologized a thousand times to the nice Bulgarian plumber. Anyhow, Jenn and Grandpa Schuppe had to court him off to McDonough so the plumber could work in peace. I imagine it must have made the plumber feel better after he wrote the big, fat invoice for the work. Thanks Klause for making an already dicey situation even worse! Jennifer and I joke that we need to find a way for Klause in biz talk...to be a part of a revenue generating profit center and not strictly a cost center. Still drumming the noodle on that one.
