This Maltese is a Better Dog Than I

This Maltese at the Westminister Show this week, is a more patient, image-obsessed, and goal-oriented dog than I am. I would never sit or stand there and let that happen to me.

Of course, there are times, like now, when it is obvious that I'm in need of some clipping and shaping. But seeing as I hate to go to the groomer (or Spa, as Herself now calls it ... thinking I don't know the difference between the two words) Herself has put it off.

But, a visit is coming soon and I'm not looking forward to it. I'm delighted when it's over and I get out of there and breath the fresh New York City air walking back home. I begin to relax.

I'm all Girl but I don't get all bent out of shape about hairdressing and nail clipping. It's just hearing Herself say things like "You look like a fright" or "It's time to pay a visit to the Spa" that I know I must gather my inner core together and do it.

OK! Let's get it over with!

Meanwhile, I'll wait by the door and compose myself by silently doing a mantra: "I will enjoy it", "I will enjoy it", I will enjoy it", until I convince myself. NOT!

What's With Some of These Humans???


There was Lexie, waiting patiently for her human mommy to come out of the store and along came some creep and what did he (or maybe she) do???????

Oh No! A human mugged Lexie.

Robbed her of her coat. Can you beat it? It's cold, snow as high as I am on the ground, and unless it was another dog who mugged Lexie, what in heavens name could a human do with her coat?

I don't know about these humans ... some of them are just plain fresh. But, some, like Herself and AuntJ and some of my other human friends and family are WONDERFUL. They would never steal my coat ... why would they?

Well, Lexie, if you want to come over to my house, with your Mom, and sit around in the warmth and maybe run down the hall with me and let out your frustrations, come on over. I'll wait for you by the door.
