Friday Night Wrights: Catch Ub Edition


Good Friday Night.
It habbs been quite some time
since I haff reborted in teu Yeu...

These last free weeks
haff been a time ob
turmoil...
and adjustment.
Whee haff suffered big losses
[more on that later]
...
and the Mom habbs been sickly
wif sicklinesses
what haff gotten better
butt still linger.
Teu make madders worse,
whee still habbs
becans on the ground.
So I amb still
ON LEASH
24x7.
Now...
Ub until lass Fursday,
on a counta she did habbs bids deu on a big brojeckt...
the Mom did drag her germs inteu
The Facktory
ebbery day.
And then lass Friday,
she did begin
[lass year's earned hours]
Baycayshun.
The Mom did begin teu feel some,
but naught so much...
better.
It habbs been a time ob
Teugefferness.
Shmuggles.
Shared Foughts.
Crossed Paws.
At least the Mom
finks these are crossed.
She took thiss picksher
Fanksgibbing Day.
She sneakeded out Wednesday abternoon teu
The Luby's
and bicked ub
a blate fur uss teu heat ub fur
Our Fanksgibbing Dinner.
It whas berry tasty...
and whee did spend
the berry rest ob the day..
in bed.
In addition teu feeling kinda bad,
the Mom did haff a sad.
I did cheer her ub
significantly
by blaying wif
The Lobster
what I did find in the closet.
Now Yeu might fink
that the Mom habbs naught accomblished any fing
in the lass few weeks...
Naught Treu.
.....
Teu weeks ago,
she went to buy a new Dyson.
She whas conbinced teu buy
the DC41.
.....
Once she brought it home,
she discubbered
it whas naught
Comblete.
.....
One week ago,
she took it back teu the store,
paid a little more
and brought home
the DC41 Comblete.
.....
Teuday,
the damb fing went on sale
fur 25 percent off.
Forchewnuttly,
the store gibbed the Mom
a bunch ob money back,
butt she habbed teu go back
teu the store
teu get it
*ahem*.
It iss no secret.
The Mom is naught a shobber,
so she whas mose disturbed by
habbing teu go teu the store
free times in teu weeks.
.....
Still naught feeling so great,
butt feeling her luck a bit...
The Mom did stob by Costco
on the whay home.
.....
Yeu see...
One week ago teuday,
she whas gibben
a Fanksgibbing Weekend Sale Flyer...
and she did lock in on a
Labtob Deal.
She tried naught teu get teu ecksited a bout it...
butt fought she wood stob by,
and iff it whas abailable...
she wood buy.
.....
She did. It whas. She did.
Ecksitement SKWASHED.
The software listed in the specifications
is naught installed.
The Mom habbs been on the phone
wif all manner ob subbort...
and she's naught feeling great
that it whill be resolbed
teu meet the sbecifiicayshuns...
nor teu meet her satisfackshun.
.....
Now she habbs a nodder sad.
.....
On a nodder note,
I did berry miss teu weeks ob Agility...
Ubon my return,
I did show
ENFUSIASM
GALORE

butt all so...
teu much handler focus,
naught enough obstackle or jumb focus.
...
So...
I whas sent home wif
The Manners Minder
Whee haff been pracktissing.
And I deu lubbs it.
It iss a remote nom disbenser.
nomnom...
I haff learned teu hear its beep.
I run teu it and eat the noms.
And abter eating the noms,
I return teu the Mom...
a bout 16 feet away, now.
Whee whill build on this training
in the Agility Field...
so I'm told.

.....
And now...
ass night is drawing nigh,
I send my signals.
What I whant iss
ober here in this nightstand,
in this berry drawer,
be hind me.
YesYesYes
The Antler.
My Antler 
iss a good whay teu burn off stress.
Thiss Pass Free Weeks
haff run the gamut ob
Fullnesses and Huge Embtinesses,
Celebrayshuns ob Life and Great Losses,
Lamely Sicknesses and Make-Do-nesses
.....
Spoil the Reuf silly teu
acksheually make him earn his kibble.
.....
Now...
Habby Fanksgibbing
Habby Black Friday

  1. Wow, You and The Mom sure know how to jam a months worth of activity into a week.
    Glad The Mom is feeling better.
    She will love the Dyson, we have one and every time we vacuum we get a small animal.
    Maybe you will have little fuzz balls to play with. Bol

  2. Hu-dad sends his sympathies to your The Mom as he prefers never to venture into a store either. But having you at home makes it all worth while, we are sure.

  6. This account of you and your Mom's last few weeks begs me to ask the question: How many tissues were you able to snag whilest she was passed out in a cold medicine induced fog? ALSO - where does one acquire one of them remote controlled treat dispensers? Coolest thing EVAH as far as I am concerned.

    I hope from here on out you have many more upswings than downswings.

  11. Hope things are on the upswing, good friend! Sending White Dog positive thoughts that the sickies are all gone as well as the sads. Now we just need to get rid of those pecans somehow so you can once again run free in your yard.
