Uh oh…busted again. <\/p>\n
Mom was talking to Aunt Sara when I was dropped off this afternoon. They were talking about ME.<\/p>\n
“Gracie’s usually good,” Aunt Sara said. “But when you drop your guard for even a minute, she’ll try something.”<\/p>\n
“Exactly,” my mom said. “Sometimes when we are walking along, she’ll stop suddenly. She’ll get that look like, ‘Why are you making me go on?'”<\/p>\n
True. We have two kinds of walks. Sometimes we go on a real walk where I get exercise and Mom does her errands. But often these days I get a mini-walk so I can do my business before my mom stuffs me in my crate and goes off on her own outings. <\/p>\n
“I think Gracie knows,” the mom said, “because I fill up her crate’s water dish just before we go on our walk. She’s a very smart dog. When we come home, she doesn’t want to go inside. People feel so sorry for her. It’s like, ‘Poor thing. She doesn’t want to go in.'” <\/p>\n
“I know just what you mean,” my Aunt Sara said. “Gracie does a good pout. You’d think we were beating her.”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, and she’s spoiled rotten,” the mom said. “Uh oh – what was that? Gracie, are you eating the cat food? I’d better go pick it up. See you next time.”<\/p>\n
Okay, okay. I just decided we needed a distraction from all this talk about spoiled dogs. Now I’ll move on to my nap. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
