Adventures in Dogsitting
Hello all. Sorry for the lag in posting. It’s been hard to transition from my time in Togo to everyday life. But leave it to me to follow the profound with the inane.
So, I’m dogsitting this week. For a sweet puppy named Lucy. Seriously, one of the sweetest, most gentle puppies I’ve ever seen. But y’all. This dog is like velcro. And those are her owner’s words, not mine. So don’t go all PETA on me. But little Lucy hates to be alone. She does not like to let you out of her sight. When she sees me heading for the stairs she runs past me so she can meet me at the top. Or back at the bottom if she trips me.
But last night, Lucy and I had a moment. I was sitting next to her on the sidewalk, and she walked around behind me and put her two paws on my shoulder. And then she started licking my neck. I had to explain to Lucy that in some cultures, we were now betrothed.
It was an awkward conversation. But I think we’re on the same page now.

I think Krissy is right, you have a way of drawing animals. You’ll be wanting a dog next.

haha….well, for a dog named Lucy you’d only be able to be betrothed in a few states.
