Dog and Writer: Volume 2
 Print  |   Share
I celebrated the Yankees World Series win this week by rolling over on the grass 10 times and pawing on my back side to side. Even my pet mom who is not a sports fan of anything except the Sayville Rotary Pet Parade was hoping they would win. (What are you laughing at? We walk down the street and concentrate on our form. Try doing that in a tutu!) And that parade in Manhattan! Whoo! Hoo! I would have jumped on mom's shoulders to watch that one. Did she go? Nooooooooo!

Can you imagine those Phillies fans who greeted the Yankees at their train station to boo them? Put that energy into adopting a nice shelter dog, suckers. You didn't take the high road, so guess what? You lost! Take that, dopey, sillies!

Mom had to cover the local election for the Advance last Tuesday. Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, Working Families, Tea Kettles! Yikes! Why doesn't everyone just agree to work together for the common good? You know, like those animal stories you read about all the time. Elephant becomes best friends with dog at pet sanctuary, or orangutan mentors dog, or duck and alligator shake hands on venture capital business. (Wait, I'm not really sure about the last one!) Maybe I should run a Maxie with Moxie campaign.

Mom only got to watch one Turner Classic Movie this week. She loves Robert Osborne, the host and says the writing was funnier and zippier in the 30s and 40s and women characters were witty, strong and kick butt females. Wouldn't switch to Cable until they had that station. She is such a fan. I sit between her and pet dad Vinnie on the couch and watch. I have to say, they don't have those dopey end of the world disaster themes, for one thing. (Sometimes I'm surprised the Great South Bay doesn't come crashing through our windows. Jeez, what are you movie people doing, willing this stuff to happen? ) Also, they always had family dogs in the movie. You know, someone you could identify with and also older people with younger people. They also seemed to have fun. Someone was always playing music in the living room or people were dancing together. Or singing. No Mean Girls, Mean Boys, Mean Fire Hydrants, Mean Plants. (Trust me, those two are coming. You're sitting on the couch next to the family philodendron and all of a sudden, choke, choke, oh no! It's wrapped around my neck because I didn't water it this week. Or, you walk nonchalantly past a fire hydrant and it blasts you.) I'm surprised people haven't started smacking each other instead of saying hello.

I'm getting pulled away from the computer, now. It is tough to write a blog with paws but I manage. See you next week.
