We had a little reenactment of this book yesterday. My little puppy had cookie dough between her toes and fingers and squished in the carpet and on Grandma's antique chair with original upholstery (anybody know how to get that out?).
Instead of yelling, I realized that I'd seen this scene before, and my little puppy was very lucky because she got to hear me sing:
"Well, I have a thing to tell you and it won't take long. The way I feel about you is a sort of a song. It starts with an ooo and ends with a kiss and all along the middle it goes something like this..."
And then she took a nap while I cleaned up.

Ah the Snuggle Puppy book. My mom gave Maddie that one for Valentine's when she was two. Very cute.
WOW, I admire your choice of reaction. I don't know if I could break out in song.
Britton is so lucky that she has a well-read mom!
you are such an amazing Momma....to be able to step back and see the reality of the situation. an example to us all....and that is my all time favorite book
Great job Beth. We all need to remember to respond with a little more love and a little less anger. How did you do with the cookie dough clean up?
oooooooooooooo, I love that book! ;)
