My mom went out of town last week and I got to spend 5 days in the Downtown Dog Lounge. Yaay! It was like a vacation. I played with my Big Sister Summer and got a nice spa treatment on Sunday: bath, mani and pedi. They even did my ears. <\/p>\n
Aunt Sara picked me up on Monday because Mom doesn’t have a car. When Sara dropped me off, she said, “Gracie needs a new leash and collar.” <\/p>\n
Finally!<\/p>\n
“I was going to give her a Christmas gift,” my mom said.<\/p>\n
“Nope. You need it now,” said Aunt Sara. <\/p>\n
My mom is well-intentioned but a little clueless sometimes. What happened to my birthday?”<\/p>\n
But I knew I was back at work this evening. Mom was feeling a little tired. “With all the flu going around,” she said, “I am not taking any chances.” She headed off to bed and pressed me into service as a heating pad.<\/p>\n
“It’s cold out there,” she said. <\/p>\n
Other people would turn the heat up. Not my mom. She’s into ecology and healthy living. She opens the window, piles on the quilts and grabs her dog. If dogs had a union, we would modify the contract. Dogs go on walks. They don’t do heating pads. I should get overtime pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
