Some Dogs Dream Of Fortunes…
Yeah, I know. I’d all but abandoned this site. In truth I found I just didn’t have much to write about. Plus it got to the point where there was so much comment spam that I had to go into the WordPress database directly and delete them manually! Plenty has happened in the past 8 months (something or other about an engagement), but what drove me to write an entry was an event combining two of the topics I’ve delved into on this blog:
Kathleen (my new fiance) and I went out to a late breakfast this morning. Foolishly, I had left the contents of last night’s Chinese food dinner sitting on the coffee table - well within the reach of a certain Cocker Spaniel who NEVER gets to eat human food unless he finds some way to steal it.
We returned to find a happy dog anxiously awaiting our return. However, as Kathleen headed up the stairs from the living room towards the kitchen she yelled “Oh no!.” Max had seized the opportunity of food being nearby and us being out of the house to steal a fortune cookie. He ran up to the landing of the stairs (his favorite treat-eating place) and quickly devoured it, leaving behind the plastic wrapper and, amazingly, the fortune! I picked it up from the ground and once I read Max’s fortune I was no longer mad at him for his thievery:
“Life is about making some things happen, not waiting for something to happen.”
