Mom says people want some pictures of her, not just me. But usually it’s just the two of us, and I don’t have fingers, let alone opposable thumbs. Besides, I’m a lot more photogenic than my mom.
On Wednesday my mom announced that we were going to walk up to Queen Anne. Going up is a LOT harder than going down. On the way back, my mom was so thrilled with the view she insisted we walk over and take a look. Personally, I could care less about views. I’d rather dig for something more interesting, which my mom won’t allow me to mention in this blog.
We saw some tourists taking pictures. My mom said, “If I take a picture of your family all together, can you get a picture of us?”
They said, “Sure.” Mom struck a pose and I’m looking at her, like, “What is going on here?”
It turned out they were a couple visiting their son, who is studying at University of Washington. My mom likes to give people information about Seattle because it makes her feel like an old-timer. Well, we have our fourth anniversary coming up. You’re not a newcomer, Mom. But it’s kind of cute when you play tourist.
My mom wants me to add that she hadn’t planned to have her picture taken, so she was wearing her old shorts and sweatshirt. Luckily she got her hair cut so she looks a little ore together than usual.
Please write a comment to reassure my mom that she doesn’t look as awful as she thinks. Tell her she doesn’t look old, even if you have to lie.
In this case, they are both happy enjoying the place together. How I missed this moment with my dog. Keep it up!
Personally I don’t get this business about taking dog walks–I prefer to do what I do best, sleep 18 hours a day. As far as I’m concerned, if you really were civilized you’d learn to use a proper litter box–but then you’re a dog.
But I have to say it does look like you and Cathy were enjoying yourselves and the beautiful weather.
