A dog diary

I’ve been on furlough this week and Jamie and Phoenix have been keeping a diary.

Day 1: MOM’S HOME TODAY! This is so cool! This is totally awesome! We can go to the training building and play ball outside in the snow and play games indoors, too. We’ll help you with all your non-dog projects. COOL, COOL, COOL! Anything you want to do, we’re right here for ya. We love it when you’re home all day!

Day 2: Mom’s home again! Excellent! How great is this! We can spend all day doing fun stuff together! We know how important it is for humans to have canine supervision. What’s on today’s list?

Day 3: Mom’s still home. Great. What are we going to do today? We need a nap first. If you want to do some things without us, go ahead, you won’t hurt our feelings. Yawn. If you need us, we’ll be on the couch.

Day 4: You’re still home? For the love of doG, woman, don’t you have a job to go to? We’re not used to being up and running 14 hours a day. How’s a guy supposed to get his beauty sleep? You go do whatever it is you need to do. Leave us out of it. We’re crashed. You humans make us very tired. How do you function on only 8 hours of sleep? That’s not normal. No wonder you eat so much.

What? We’re going to an agility trial? We’re leaving now? COOL! That is totally awesome! LET’S GO!

Have a great weekend, everyone. I’ll report back from the trials in Naperville when possible.

Today I am thankful for sunshine, dry roads and Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” on CD for the drive to Naperville.

  1. LOL - I always think "Gee... there must be something wrong with that dog - they sleep ALL the time" when I am home!
