Annie

My little dog Annie is on my bad dog list. 

This a.m. I woke up and the sun was shining, the birds were singing and all was right with my world.  Had breakfast, read the paper took a bath and got ready for church.  Fifteen minutes before it was time to leave I took Annie out to do her duty.  Out of the blue she slipped out of her leash and took off like a bat  out of you know where.

Since I am unable to chase after her I just stood and hollered which meant nothing in the world to her.  My nice neighbor  came out and he hunted for her.  The time was now five minutes late for church.  Then, PTL he caught her.  I slipped on her leash and she made one wild leap and off came her leash again.

My neighbor had to leave and I was now 15 minutes late for church.  If I could get her I would even go late as I really wanted to be there.  We were going to recognize all the graduates today and those kids are so great.

Now one-half hour late.  Annie is in the front yard and as I go out to get her she takes off again.  She can be completely out of sight in the blink of an eye. 

Forty-five minutes late, no way will I make it now.  Finally I just sit and wait and just as it is time for church to be over, Annie is at the door and wants to come in.  Grrr,  she doesn't know how lucky she is that I love her as at this moment I could kill her.  Of course she immediately wanted to be loved.  It is her own fault, but she got no loving from me.  It may take me an hour or two before I will be hugging her and telling her how much I love her.

Thank goodness God knows why I wasn't at church today, I don't even have to explain.

Until next time,
Be kind to one another
