Another Dog Story…

The kids were at my dh’s aunt’s house last night, so he and I took the opportunity to go out to dinner–alone of all things!–and then came home and watched a movie.  (The Astronaut Farmer–pretty good.)  Anyway, by the time the movie was over my poor little dog was desperate to go to bed.  He kept bringing me his stuffed pig and whacking me with it, then taking off down the hall and waiting for me to come on.  When I didn’t, he’d trot back down the hall and start the process all over again.

“What’s wrong with that dog?” my dh wanted to know.

“He’s sleepy.  He’s ready for bed.”

Blank stare.  “You’re kidding me.”

“Nope.”

Dh shakes his head.  “So he’s going to sleep with us?”

“Yes.”  (Ordinarily Ollie sleeps with my son, but since he wasn’t here….  )

A grunt, then “Well, he’d better stay on his own side.

    Our cat loves my husband and she sleeps either beside or on him. DH gripes and fusses but I remind him that many men would be flattered to be the object of such female adoration.

    Your dog has a stuffed pig?

    I love you and I adore your little Ollie, but precious as he is, he is totally neurotic. Kimberly, the stuffed pig is but the tip of the iceberg

    Marilyn, if it was up to my dh we wouldn’t have any pets in the house. Fortunately it isn’t up to him anymore.

    Kimberly, that pink pig is his favorite toy.

    Jen, he’s not neurotic–he’s quirky.
