Dog Days

My ace number one daughter and her hubby have gone on vacation, leaving us to care for two dogs. Let’s be clear, I like dogs, but I don’t want a dog. We usually will have to bring the dogs over for a day or two, but this time we have them for 10 days.

One dog is blind, or almost blind and the other one snores like a high pitched magpie. They usually are not a lot of trouble, just enough to keep me remembering why I don’t want a dog. This time, both dogs have all but quit eating. I thought it might be the dog food we always give them, so I bought some more. I’m thinking they were tired of the same old stuff. Nope.

My financial controller suggested the dogs may just miss their house and family. I told her that we are not taking those dogs to a therapist. However, we may need to take me to one. They don’t want me out of their sight. That is because I give them "treats," aka, table scraps. Since I do most of the cooking, I can’t help but appreciate their taste in good food.

Another possibility as to why they don’t eat is they don’t get to watch "The View" or "Ellen" on TV. When they are home, they watch these shows everyday. Or they listen to music via "Alexa."

Maybe, it’s just because, they ain’t hungry.
