Yesterday I went to the Dog Lounge while Mom worked out at the gym. Summer was so happy to see me! She went back to the pen area and we played…and played.<\/p>\n
When Mom came to pick me up, Summer said, “So soon? Does she have to go now?”<\/p>\n
“Summer,” said Mom, “I will leave Gracie to you in my will.”<\/p>\n
I like that idea, although Mom’s not ready to croak yet.<\/p>\n
That night I was totally wiped. Thursday my Uncle Bob filled in for Aunt Sara. He believes in long runs in the park. Then Sunday…so I curled up in a tight ball and fell asleep on my Mom’s bed.<\/p>\n
Mom woke up and noticed I hadn’t moved. She reached over to pat me. “Hmm… Gracie, you feel cold. Are you still alive?”<\/p>\n
I didn’t budge. Here’s an opportunity to shake up my mom. She’ll get all worried. She’ll be so relieved to realize I’m alive, she’ll grab a handful of treats for me. Yum. I can just taste that peanut butter.<\/p>\n
Alas, Mom has become tough.<\/p>\n
“Gracie, I can’t do anything tonight. Hope you’re around tomorrow morning.”<\/p>\n
