The Two Labs

Dear Uncle Max,

Happy to report the barking is waning.  That new technique is powerful.  You're right, bad behavior is exhausting.  Tomorrow I will be visiting residents in a nursing home.  I have done this before,  and I'm not concerned because strangers talk to me and touch me every day.

I listen...

"Hey lady, you keep your dog on a tight leash.  Bet you have your husband trained well!" 

My mother just smiles.  

Max, did you train my father too?


How about this one...

"Could you please leave your dog to me in your will?"

 What's a will? and what does it have to do with me? and is this a good thing or a bad thing?


Once a lady picked me up and squeezed me too close to her body, and said, "I once had a dog like you."

What did she mean "once"?



Today I was on a favorite long walk (I like to position myself between my parents) and it was hot.  Suddenly, a pickup sped by. The magnetic field started to pull me at the sight of not one but two big labs hanging out of the back of the truck . The blonde was perched on top of the chocolate. The  breeze blowing their ears back, tongues sticking out.  I wanted some of that...


But I would have to leave my mom...maybe when I'm older.
