Sailor here.
Mom cooked today. This is very unusual since I always get dog food. She made this yummy-smelling sauce with tomatoes from her garden and MEAT! This is also unusual since Mom doesn't eat meat very often. Then she cooked long skinny grass things called spaghetti and mixed them with the sauce.
"For me?" I sniffed, inhaling deeply. Sooooo good.
"No, Sailor, sorry," she said. "This is people food."
"My Leo friends get people food," I said. "In fact, some of them told me that that's all they get. No dog food for them. Anyway, I like pasta; I've had it before."
I thought that if I dazzled Mom with my Italian, she'd relent.
"Well, OK," she said, "just a little."
And into my bowl went spaghetti. Boy, was it ever good!
Then Mom looked at me and made a funny face. "Every time you pretend to be a Leo, Sailor, you end up needing a bath." My white ruff was speckled with red. I tried to talk her into thinking that I had come of age as a red merle, but she wasn't buying it.
So we went to the dogwash and a wonderful thing happened. She bought four wash tokens for the price of three. This means that I get to be a Leo THREE MORE TIMES after this! I can hardly wait. Maybe if all of you send me dogwash tokens in the mail, I can get to be a Leo more than three more times! How about it?
And practice your Italian. You never know when it will come in handy!
Chow for now,
Sailor
