When Will I Learn
So, ever have that moment that you’re reading a book, cruising the internet or something similar to that and you look up and think to yourself, "Ahhh, it’s so nice and peaceful this evening"? Well, just the other night, I had that kind of a moment. Only when you have three pups, you actually don’t think that way for longer than three seconds because your mind quickly kicks into parent mode. Mine did and I immediately thought, "too quiet, too long, what now?" So off I went looking for the pups.
As I get downstairs and come into the living room, I see three angelic faces looking at me, so I know automatically, they are all up to something! So I get to the first pup. Fargo, what have you got under that catchers mitt of a paw? I reach down and what do I get, but one of my Margaritaville flip-flops! Sigh….why the flip-flops? My favorite summer wear! And they aren’t just a little chomped on, oh no! They are destroyed! The flip had been ripped from the flop!
Of course as I am lamenting my misfortune, I remember that there had been three angelic faces and there is a mate to this right foot flip-flop. I look over at Sadie, who is nearly always at the top of the list of suspicious culprits and I realize that she seems to be trying to hide something. "So, what have you got that you’re being so protective of, Sadie", I say as I reach under her to see what she has. Well, surprise, surprise! It’s the left flip-flop and it isn’t one bit better off. Now why does that not surprise me. And trust me, it is very apparent from the slobber marks, it was getting a work over from two different mouths. So don’t act like you didn’t have anything to do with this Ms. Ursa!
So how did you three get these flip-flops? They had been in the closet….oh, wait, no they weren’t. I had worn them the other day when it was nearly 80 degrees outside…and I had just taken them off by the bed…which is by the crates…dang it! When will I learn!
