Yesterday evening my mom came home from the symphony, humming bits of Tchaikovsky’s 1st Symphony. Winter Dreams.<\/p>\n
No, I didn’t recognize the tune. I am a dog, remember? She told me and the cats all about her latest musical adventure.<\/p>\n
But then she took me out for my Late Night Walk. Winter Dreams? More like a Bad Dream. We were attacked by big fat wet snowflakes. And my mom was freezing, even in her parka with two sweaters. We walked half a block and Mom said, “Gracie, we aren’t going anywhere.”<\/p>\n
OK, I have to admit it. I took care of business with haste and led the trek back to our apartment.<\/p>\n
This morning all the buses were screwed up on account of snow. Mom was late getting to the gym and dropping me off at the Dog Lounge.<\/a> She was irked.<\/p>\n I didn’t care. I spent an hour playing with the other dogs. Then I moved up front and helped my Big Sister Summer run the front desk. My job is to entertain everybody and pose for PR photos. It’s a tough life.<\/p>\n Summer sent my mom home with 2 sample packets of my favorite treats. Thank goodness. Since my mom went on her new diet, she’s been watching mine a little too enthusiastically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday evening my mom came home from the symphony, humming bits of Tchaikovsky’s 1st Symphony.
