The Nightmare After Christmas

Disclaimer: Some people are just not fit for parenting (or pet owning, for that matter).

Remember that party I went to a while back right after the degenerates I gave Jenka to lost her? Remember how distraught I was and how that mom insisted on telling me about her kid's pet gerbil, Fatso? Here's the second horror story by mommy #2 from that party.

Why anyone might think this would make me feel better is beyond me.
-------
Not long ago, little Jenny wanted nothing more than to be the proud owner of a puppy. As her seventh birthday neared, she took advantage and brought it up with her father one afternoon.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As was expected, Jenny triumphed in her quest and one month later had a loveable shih-tzu which she named Peeko. The dog quickly became Jenny's best friend, usually taking precedence over her dolls and other toys.
The night before Christmas, Jenny sat by the tree eating chocolate from Santa's cookie plate, a forlorn look in her eyes as she waited for the next morning. Soon enough it was time for bed but Jenny intended to break the rules and catch a glimpse of Santa that night.
 
 
 
 
 
 
In her haste to do as she was told and fast forward to morning time, Jenny left the plate of chocolate lying on the floor while Peeko, ever the obedient pet, waited patiently for everyone to go to sleep before devouring the chocolate stash on that lovely ceramic plate.

The next morning, little Jenny found a bounty of dolls and video games under the tree. But that wasn't the only surprise. No no no. There was something even more exciting than all the dolls in the land!
Poor Peeko had one chocolate too many and was granted entrance into doggie heaven which, considering his miserable little life was probably the best thing that could've happened. Jenny's parents quickly ushered her away with one of her Christmas presents.
 
 
The father hastily buried Peeko in the backyard while Jenny's mom distracted her with Mermaid Barbie in the room. That evening, Jenny cried herself to sleep and prayed for Peeko to wake up from his nap.

Time passed and just as children are wont to do, Jenny forgot about Peeko and became consumed in Zhu Zhu Pets and video games. Seven months later the Miami summer was in full effect and her parents decided it was time to splurge on a backyard pool. Construction workers came and went, while Jenny supervised their progress from her favorite lounge chair, a video game in her fat little hands at all times.

One day, as the workers excavated arduosly they found something that caught Jenny's eye.
 
But who can stop a seven-year old rug-rat from getting something that she wants, especially when it's being forbidden by an adult? Jenny grabbed Peeko's skull and bolted into the house, excited to show her parents her newly found treasure.
 
 
Then realization set it...
And once again little Jenny got her way. In fact, she'd never been so enthusiastic to give a presentation in class.
 
 
 
Needless to say, Jenny's teacher wasn't as impressed.

Indeed why would they thing that story would make you feel any better.

It's so horrible it almost sounds like an urban legend but not quite.

FALEN AKA THUNDERCAT832 said...

lmfao this was freaking hilarious! I think a booty-bubble shot out of my ass I was laughing so hard!

oh, booty bubble is a real word...I created it and posted it on urban dictionary.com lol It should be approved any day now lol

Oilfield Trash said...

That is awesome.

The Empress said...

You ABSOLUTELY have to make this into a children's book for adults!!

Biohazard said...

AWESOME!

I actually have a dog skull. I have around 30 skulls... bit of a macabre collection. I have a couple of photos on my blog, but I really need to do a post for them.

:(

Migz said...

Jesus, with those two stories it sounds like you had a pretty awful time.

A Beer for the Shower said...

This is fucking riotous. And probably a good reason why my parents urged for flushable pets when I was growing up. Especially after the awkward incident with the hamster and the toilet plunger. May ye rest with Davey Jones, Mister Squiggles.

LottieSpartacus said...

This is hilarious! And really sad at the same time. Poor Peeko, dying all alone from chocolate poisoning! My mum accidentally left an open box of dark chocolate after dinner mints on the coffee table once and my dog ate ALL OF THEM. No ill effects though - I think she is immune to chocolate poisoning!

Dorian said...

You have an amazing way with words; I nearly forgot for a moment that this is a HORRIBLE story. The poor dog couldn't even rest in peace...

AmberLaShell said...

omg that awful. poor jenny, did she ever figure out what it was?

Yvonne said...

Eh, not funny, not funny at all. Poor doggie, he's in doggie heaven now.

Christopher said...

Ha, that's just wrong... but oh so right.

Karley Walker said...

Hahahahaha, I don't know that story cheered me up quite a bit, especially after having just finished a six page paper on some bullshit called Philosophy. This certainly made my day...but I sorta feel like I'm going to hell for getting such a kick out of it.

Great pictures as always Annah, screw blogging you're the next Picasso!

Dan said...

I once had a dog that ate a whole box of Hostess Chocolate doughnuts - and nothing, no barfing, diarrhea, nothing...it was so weird.

Now, I am curious as to what Jenny's parents hands were doing in each others laps when she walked in - and those grins? LOL

The Adorkable Ditz said...

That isn't creepy at all. Love the evil little girl pictures, makes her look so adorable, I mean vicious. Haha.

Guilty Kisser said...

so that's what a shih-tzu looks like, huh? Interesting. And in one of the pics, it looks like mom and dad have their hands on the other's one whoo ha. Did the lady mention THAT in her story?

Mynx said...

Your drawings are getting better and better. Fabulously funny story darln girl. :)

Odie Langley said...

One of your very best Annah with awesome art as usual. Have a wonderful day.

The Barreness said...

Um...I love you Kitten, I do.

BUt this? This was...disturbing.

Also makes me want to go hug my cat.

In fact...

becca said...

omg too funny

Jewels said...

hahaha. I love it but the parent's getting to 2nd on the sofa is a bit awkward. That'll teach everyone to be more careful with chocolate and dogs!

Katsidhe said...

I would normally be seeing red from reading about dumbass parents like that, but your cartoon version of it was so hilarious that I'm only seeing pink.~

I still wanna lay the smackdown on that kid's parents though. Dogs-or cats or gerbils-aren't toys, fuckwits.

*feels blood pressure rising...looks to Annah's funny drawings for comic relief...(the expression on the one where "dinosaurs ruled the earth and ate everything" kills me in particular for some reason =D)...feels blood pressure dip below Pompeii levels...drawings have saved the day!!* \o/

leia said...

wow, you made a sad story funny!!! tis a gift, annah! :DDD

that poor kid though. i hope she learns the truth about little peeko <3

Parenting 101.

gogiita192 said...

Thats hilarious! got to love the parenting technique of counting to 3 lol and the cussing out of your children, priceless.

well peeko lucked out in the end as he was admired by all the children in class lol

Dr. Cynicism said...

I thought the story was headed in some kind of Pet Cemetery direction, but I like where you lead us instead. Poor Peeko.

Tricia said...

These are your best cartoons ever, girl!

Ms. Co-dependent said...

You're really freakin lucky that story ended with her thinking her dead dog was a dinosaur...that was so sad. :'( My doggie was a shi-tzu...he died a year and a half ago. Finding hin dead under the xmas tree would have been traumatizing.

Annah said...

Well I'm definitely not endorsing this type of behavior. It's just a story that looked at from an outside perspective is pretty humorous.

And yeah, I was seriously appalled but the I thought... Hmmmm this would make a great blog post.

Definitely not an example to follow.

Adventure Spot said...

Oh wow why in the world would they let her take that school? Seriously people should watch their kids and pets. Although this was a funny post because of the pictures you drew for us to explain the story. I find that the story is quit horrible when it isn't explained so humorously. I can't believe the mom would share this story at a party? Like who does that? Oh guess what I let my child get away with! You'll never guess as she smiles and sips her mimosa. Sheesh the nerve of some people.

c.honna said...

That lil gurl looks like a pain in the ass !!!

Yvonne said...

lmao! c.honna's comment is dead on!

J Franklin Evans said...

Okay, I just got home from having some minor surgery and you made me almost pop my stitches. Thanx, Gorgeous.

Suldog said...

Obviously, this story has a polarizing effect on your readers. Put me down in the "Loved it, hilarious, great drawings (even though I realize it's about something hideous)" camp.

Boppie said...

I think Peeko got the best Christmas present of anyone, that year, considering whose hands he was in. And I don't feel really optimistic about Jenny, frankly. The funniest part is that these people tell this story about themselves to others!

Christy said...

OMG!! Horrible & disturbing!! LOL

J-Roll said...

Holy shit that is demented and surprisingly hilarious. I would be scarred for life.

Annah said...

Xylina: She told it as if it was nothing odd. I was petrified and wanted to punch her in the face all at once.

Honna: She definitely sounded that way in the story so that's how I pictured her.

Christy: See? It's best to not have pets if you're going to end up killing them. lol. Not that you want pets, of course.

J. Franklin: Oh no! Please be safe and stop reading my blog and popping stitches. Okay don't stop reading but be careful.

Suldog: Noted :)

Boppie: I think Peeko lucked out too. Seriously.

J-Roll: I'm telling you. Not for the weak of heart. People never seize to amaze me (often times not in a good way).

Dirt Queen said...

Poor Peeko can't even RIP @:O(

J Franklin Evans said...

Oh, totally OT--how you can tell you are achieving famousity:

1. I send someone to read your blog, saying "She's a friend of mine. Tell her Jeff sent you."
2. They come over and mention that I sent you.
3. You go, "Who?"

Not that this has actually happened or anything--just something you can watch for to know you are achieving your goal! Heh. I'm still under the influence of pain killers so I'm having all sorts of weird thoughts right now.

Jax said...

That is hysterical. I love the pictures :D

Minita said...

HAHA, Annah I LOVE IT!! Oh man, it's true, pets and children are not a good combination.

Bouncin' Barb said...

OMG, and people just like them continue to reproduce don't they? They are taking over the world. Ahhhhh. It's such a shame.

Paige said...

oh my god i dont even know what to say...except it totally reminds me of when i 9 trying to find fossils in my backyard....poor poor jenny

wheatgerm said...

that was just crazy

caterpillar said...

Why did they have to get her a dog...and why couldn't they be a bit more responsible...really?
