My kids are old. I don't work outside the home anymore. My life is much calmer than it was a few years ago. I'm not a good blogger because I don't have much to say that I think people will care about reading. However, I DO have a dog that thinks she's a person, so I'll write about her today. This is the same darling dog that locked me out of the house last week in the rain. I wanted to show you that she really is a smart, helpful dog.
Every morning after I read my Bible, she runs out to get the newspaper. Some mornings, she is so impatient that I have to stop my study and let her out. She's very good about springing out (not running, springing), stopping to look around to see if anyone is watching her then picking up the paper. She trots right back up the sidewalk and passes me at the door. I'm not supposed to take the paper there. We have to go to the kitchen where she drops it at my feet....in exchange for a treat.
She's doesn't care if its raining, which is very often in Houston. I can depend on her to do this task for me everyday. Sunday's are hard when the paper is heavy. I wonder what she thinks about on Sunday mornings when she can barely fit the paper in her mouth? She pushes it around with her nose, picks it up, drops it, tries again. She keeps on trying until she gets it to fit just right and brings it in.
I'll tell Jordan he needs to do or say something funny so I can blog about him instead of the dog.
