THE DOG
Of course, it was my idea. Aren’t all those brainchildren mine?? She’s a beauty and so smart. O.K. that’s the problem – too smart. Skipper (Yes, that’s her name.) can be sooooo sneaky. I mean, maybe just stubborn; but I had children that were stubborn and eventually it served them well. I guess that means I shouldn’t give up hope yet. She brings the paper in, but doesn’t always want to give it up. She comes, sits, and stays, but runs off when she gets the opportunity. She follows me everywhere, but acts like a blithering idiot around other people. I mean flippin out crazy. We call her the Beast when anyone comes around. Her manners are so bad around other people that she is not even allowed to be around anyone else. I have learned to make her jump on the couch if anyone comes, so I can quickly snap the leash on her and tie her to the refrigerator door! So far she hasn‘t pulled the fridge out the door!
Today was so bad I threatened her with the pound. I don’t think she believed me. Ah I love my dog.
