What a glorious day it was today. First of all, I was unexpectedly allowed to roam through the house all day while everyone was at school. It has been a very rough ten days for me...everyone gone all day, and poor me locked in the crate for eight hours. Abusive, I tell you! So this morning, when Ms. Alpha Pants commanded me to go up to my "bed" (what a misleading euphemism for my three foot by two foot jail cell), I put on an Oscar-winning performance. I dropped my head down to the floor, chest down, and then turned my head away. It was fabulous. Ms. Alpha Pants was like putty in my paws. So she brought down my cushy pillow and a pile of toys, and joy of joys, the house was mine!
I cannot begin to tell you of the bliss of barking all day at whomever I pleased. Ahhh...but then tonight, it got even better. For once, it was about 90 degrees and cloudy. If that sounds hot to you, then you are definitely not from south Texas. It was beautifully cool, at least for this time of year. Off Ms. Alpha Pants and I went into the bayou. The lights in the sky were beyond description, and the frogs were making the most outlandish noises I have ever heard. It was truly one of the greatest evenings yet this late summer. Ms Alpha Pants had been whining about being tired, but I did not take no for an answer, and she was exceedingly grateful that I coaxed her out into such an evening.
A faithful dogs work is never done.
