Currently, we are dog-sitting my younger son’s crazy little pup, Wolfie Junior. OK sorry, he’s not crazy per se; he’s just really busy and needy and he bites feet and faces and eats paper and glass and slippers and everything he shouldn’t, but from what I’ve heard is pretty normal for dogs, but which also (according to my son) is MY fault. He’s not like that at home apparently. Sure.
Now, you have to understand, I am not used to dogs – having to constantly tell them to leave these things alone and to STOP sticking their nose in my underwear. Jesus, cats don’t need that reminder. Nor am I used to letting animals suffer needlessly in crates if I can help it. And this dog does NOT like his crate. So like the softy that I am, I’ve just been either staying home with him, or making my daughter or husband do the same, or taking him everywhere I go. Yeah, he’s being totally spoiled.
Anyway yesterday, I had to go with my daughter to the bank to pick up a form that she needed for school. She wasn’t sure what to ask for, so I agreed to go with her. Of course, having the dog complicated things.
In no uncertain terms, she said, “You ARE coming in with me. I’m not interested in looking like an idiot because I don’t know what I’m talking about.” Young people and their pride – sheesh.
