On Monday, I was supposed to be cleaning out the
This day we went to the more Starters Level Forest,
Done editing now. I give up. I talk like this too. Since EVERYONE forgot to nominate me for this, no more editing. Ha, take THAT, reader.
And also, ladies with labs and now unseasonal holiday sweatshirts to enjoy the forest. Sorry holiday sweatshirt lady. We didn't mean to scare you. We use the Starters Level Forest a little different than the more Advanced Level big meadow forest. Because of the sporty runners, Otterpop stays on a leash until we get to the more foresty section, off the main path. And because lots of people walking around in there who don't neccessarily want an 11lb missile blasting into them, Gustavo stays on his leash until we get to the foresty section. Ruby can do whatever she wants in the whole forest, because she's a good dog.
And holiday sweatshirt lady, with her friendly yellow lab, she didn't know we were coming up through the foresty section. And also didn't know that I was going to be imitating monkey calls out there. I don't know what we were hearing at first, me and the dogs. Sounded like monkeys to me. And the dogs were so funny, stopping in their tracks every time they heard it. So when they would go running off, off and away, and I would make the monkey calls too. Except mine were like flying monkey calls. Just to freak the dogs out. Because that's how we build our relationship, out there in the forest. Freaking out the dogs with fake monkey calls.
Poor lady in her holiday sweatshirt. Who is smartly vacating the forest in time for the rain. And also planned for the rain with smart rain walking outfit. Me, just out there making monkey calls, dripping wet in cashmere and muddy slip on vans. While those dog missiles just keep flying around. Running on the foresty path til we get to the goldfish box, and just sit up there for a while, getting rained on and listening for monkeys.

I cannot believe that I DREAMED about TSD last night. There I was at someplace nationally or even internationally important--maybe the Olympics or the Presidential Inauguration, hard to tell (it was a dream), and TSD was playing a prominent part, and there was Laura with Mary S and all the other TSD fan club members (in my dream I knew who they were but in real, like, awake life, I have no idea) in their special TSD chairs (yes said Team Small Dog in capital letters on the back like directors' chairs) in front of the swimming pool and I thought, wow, that's cool, TSD has really hit the big time, and how funny that Mary et al are right there with them! And I tried to take pictures but by the time I had the camera lens off, everyone had left except Laura, and she had this expression like, "hmmm, who is this woman with the camera? Should I call the police or maybe Oprah?"
I need a real life. Really.
Who needs writing skills anyway?
Wow! "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours." (Bob Dylan)
Wow totally awesome dream! Hopefully it was not at court and we were being sentenced to jail?
