Aaah, spring! I’m so excited that spring is finally here (on a day-by-day basis). I went out to do a little yard work Thursday. I love to work in the flower beds because it gives me the freedom to solve all the problems facing our country by the time I finish whatever task I’m working on.
Sometimes my thoughts seem to run away with all their little buddy thoughts. I don’t really mind though, as long as they find their way back into my head by the time I finish my task.
My Min Pins were playing in the yard, enjoying one of the first sunny, warmish spring days so far. They reminded me of two little pre-school children without a care in the world. It occurred to me though that, at their age, eight years (that’s 56 in dog years), it’s really time for them to knuckle down and learn some things. For instance…
*Rolling on dead things in the yard and then wanting to be held is not cute.
*The trash collector is not stealing our stuff.
*I will not leave my toys outside in the rain and then bring them back in soaking wet.
*I will not lick my master’s face after eating something disgusting.
*I will try to remember barking dogs and door bells on TV are not actually in my house. I will not bark at them.
*I will not play tug-o-war with Daddy’s underwear when he’s sitting on the toilet. (Don’t ask.)
*My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
It seems like a lot of learning for such little dogs, but c’mon, they’ve had eight years. They’re really good little dogs though, so I guess I’ll continue to let them learn at their own pace and get on with more important thoughts.
Look out President Faux pas. Here I come.
