Why Can't I Come Home With You?




This is it.

This is the look those conniving little puppies have practiced like puppy sorcery on all who come to visit them. Perfectly innocent people, minding their own business, get laser-targeted by those blue puppy eyes and suddenly they're spending their life savings on mushy, expensive dog food and fancy squeak-toys in neon colors.

By the time they find out that the puppy would rather eat its own poop and chew on only their new owner's favorite shoes, it is too late, isn't it? There is no return from puppification.

    Holy ever-loving steaming puppy dog-poo in the morning! I just spent this evening reliving our life with Max (the most excellent Sheltie) with my 88-year-old demented Mom this evening and explaining why we can't have another "little furry guy" to keep her company in her lonely, housebound frail state. It's heartbreaking; but now I'm wavering...

    DANG! Doggone it. And, etc....

    I'm a strong believer in puppy therapy.

    Ingratiating little devils aren't they? Sure, they know all the tricks--the big eyes, the soft whine, the wagging tail. But stay strong, brothers and sisters--think of that yip-yapping at 5.00 AM, that "I need to go out NOW!" alarm--think of you putting on the cold resistant, NASA-approved Teflon-Goretex ("approved for wear down to 100 degrees below, F”) overalls and then the first blast of artic air. Sure the puppy loves it, burrows into the snow and rolls in it--but, you--you got to pick his stuff up.

    No way to start the day, believe me. Forget the pup and instead, start with a quick read of something by Wordsworth. Something about daffodils is best.

    JWebb, it's like being hypnotized by a full moon, ain't it?
    Wish your mom could have a doggie...my mom, too.

    EJ, puppy therapy, kitty therapy, it all works for me. I would not like something like, say, tarantula therapy, though.

    Tony, I cannot believe you made that hard left turn and landed on Wordsworth. And his daffodils.

    Er, not exactly ON Wordsworth. That's a job for Randy Centaurs.

    If I didn't already have two obnoxious dogs, I would drive all the way to Indy and steal those puppies.
