Do you realize that dogs have problems? Well they do. First, we have been doggie sitting for several weeks. There are those that say that I like dogs better than I like people. They would be right. All a dog will do is bite you. People can really hurt you.
Back to the story. Sparky and Walter, the two dogs, love to stay with me because they get pampered and petted. At home they don’t often get left over steak, cut up in small bite size pieces. They get to roam around the yard all day and sleep inside at night. It’s a good life. But, sooner or later they have to go back home. It is a real shock for several days when they look at plain old dog food in a bowl.
And, Sparky, a Corgi, now has a new problem. He is accustomed to chasing anything that walks, flies, crawls or rolls. Since his new home is in East Texas, he is now faced with short legs and tall trees. In the Dallas area, he would run up to a tree and scope it out for squirrels or birds. Now, he can’t see the top of the trees. He almost turns over backward trying to look up a tree that is over 50 feet tall. He has the saddest look on his face. "There just has to be a squirrel up there somewhere."
Walter is no help. He is still standing and staring at the supper dish.
