You’re Not the Boss of Me
As you probably know by now, when my thoughts are not on my boys and all the chores I do each week, my focus is squarely on our black lab, Sonny. Sonny is far and away the most energetic dog we have ever had. He is a live wire!
I saw this the other day and was laughing so hard, I could barely catch my breath.
This is so me! I pretend I am in charge and then spend every free minute doing whatever my sweet puppy wants me to do. I play with him, take him for walks, throw the squeaky ball 600 times. I wait patiently while he sniffs the whole yard to survey his domain. I buy him toys and then photograph him with said toys…it’s a lot!
He repays me for all of this with undying love with a good dose of mischief and chaos on the side.
I’d love to spend some more time sharing my dog insanity with you, but Sonny is whimpering to go out. The boss of me has spoken and I must go. LOL.
