1 of my outdoor dogs has just dug out under the fence ...yet again and came up and into the house. So out I goes to put Cody back in his own yard with his brother. I told hubby to take indoor dogs inside and shut the screen door so I could get Cody back up. 30 seconds later indoor dogs are back out side with hubby . Again...put the dogs in and close the door. 3rd time luck...he listens to me.
I put Cody up thinking he dug out unde the gate but no he came right back out under the fence by the gate, by which time hubby has gone in, opened door and let the dogs out AGAIN.!!! I swear I talk to myself half the time.
I goes and gets breeze block to put in hole, hubby is still out watching me with the inside dogs in the yard with him. I told him again...PUT THE DOGS IN!!!!!!! I have no idea what part of that he did NOT understand.
Indoor dogs are in....Cody I caught, fence is fixed and hubby is walking round yard with thumb up rear, I said to him, watch where your walking the dogs over there......what does he do. .
Cody is now back where he should be, hubby is walking into the house and I shouts...STOP WHERE YOU ARE, YOU HAVE poop ON YOUR SHOES.....to which I get a reply of I never stood in any. STOOOOOP. He does. Looks at shoes....LOW AND BEHOLD....POOP!!!!!
Next time Im gonna slap him up the head with said shoes if he does it again. Ive just spent the last hour cleaning carpets!!!!
OK...Rant over with.

Have you ever tried ASKING him to do stuff, instead of TELLING him? I'm not convinced it would make a difference - I also have a husband with selective deafness - but it's worth a try.

Well, he can't hear me ask him to let the dog in, while I'm in the next room, but he can hear me call him a butthead for not doing it. What would you call it?

Sounds like our hubbies are related...I did ask him TWICE before I told him and he still didnt hear me.

My hubby can "hear" me flip him the bird from across the house. He just knows.

How in the world did he KNOW that?

Because he opened his mouth in the wrong way 2 seconds before I did it. Then he said "you just flipped me the bird didn't you". I said "yep". We were both laughing by then.

OH MY GOSH, was your husband from Georgia? I think I have his long lost brother for a husband! I always said I could be right next to him and he not hear a thing, but be three rooms away and mention his name, and as soon as whoever I was talking to left, he would be asking me why he heard his name mentioned. I usually made up some big story and tick him off, but I always aid men were all alike, just in different shades of fabric. LOL!!!
