Yesterday was Valentine’s Day – typically a day of sugar and chocolate! It is also a special day for Mom and Dad because it is is the anniversary of their first date! Mom decided to help dad by doing all his chores while he was exercising at the gym, as well as her own to surprise him. She should have stuck to chocolates and flowers … IMHO!
Mom raced through those chores! Dash and I knew she should pace herself. She did not stop to eat lunch or have a snack. Then she walked all of us, a total of three miles, and did her chores. By then Mom was having trouble figuring out what to do next and was walking around the house. Those are typical signals for her. Dash grabbed a brenzel and waved it. Mom did not notice. I blocked her and pawed her leg. Still Mom paid no attention. Then we decided to double team her. I got her with paws on both shoulders and stared her in the eyes. Dash whacked her in the leg with the brenzel. Slowly, Mom said, “Good. Dogs.Let’s. Check “.
The meter showed a 67-low. Mom gave us treats and grabbed a juice. We were not done yet. We wanted her to
sit. Dash is an expert at herding Mom
and he sent her to bed! Then he cuddled her with his head on her tummy and I warmed her feet. Job complete! Double Dog Alert!

Woofs and wags,
