My mom just read me an article in the Wall Street Journal – a newspaper filled with articles about business and finance. Nothing to do with me.<\/p>\n
“Retail stores are screening new hires with personality tests,” she said. “Hoghwash!”<\/p>\n
I agree. Suppose I had to answer those question before getting adopted.<\/p>\n
“You would like a job that is quiet and predictable.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes! I love my routine. Every morning Cathy takes me for a walk as soon as we wake up. Then I snooze till noon. We have another walk. In the afternoon we go for a longer walk. And just before bed we walk again.<\/p>\n Twice a week I go to the park with my Aunt Sara – yaay! And Sundays I usually go to the Dog Lounge while mom works out.<\/p>\n Who would want more excitement? Not me, for sure.<\/p>\n “Other people’s feelings are their own business.”<\/strong><\/p>\n No way! When my mom is tired or feeling under the weather, I snuggle up next to her and look adorable. I stop chewing socks for at least ten minutes.<\/p>\n When we meet strangers who need a dog fix, I’m right there.<\/p>\n You didn’t ask me about the cats’ feelings. Sorry, not my job.<\/p>\n “You feel nervous when there are demands you can’t meet.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Hah. So I can’t do a perfect “down.” Or I can’t take my mom to see the fireworks. Big deal.<\/p>\n True, my mom said, “Gracie, if you chew my new wool winter hat, I will send you right back to the pound.” No way. I’m here forever.<\/p>\n “In school you were one of the best students.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, right. Two trainers told my mom, “Gracie will always keep testing you. You’ll have to keep working with her.”<\/p>\n So I was a “C” student in obedience school. A lot of presidents were C students. So were some Kings of England. For a CUPPIE – a Canine Urban Princess – I’m perfectly educated.<\/p>\n “In your free time, you go out more than stay home.”<\/strong><\/p>\n In my free time, I sleep.<\/p>\n Enough questions. Speaking of free time, mom, we need to go for our noon walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My mom just read me an article in the Wall Street Journal – a newspaper filled with articles about business and finance.
