Hyper Puppies



Puppies: they just don't listen.

After a week of listening to Joan cough, we finally saw some action today when Ish came over to play with Saki. Around and around they ran in big circles and small circles, play biting, panting, drinking water, panting some more, running all the way around the house maybe a hundred times.

I tried to calm them down, but nothing could dissuade them from acting like overgrown puppies. Shane couldn’t handle any of it and stayed in the house nurturing his nervous condition. Frankly, all three dogs are too hyper for my taste. They should be a little more like me—you know—subdued in their youthful exuberance.

I guess everyone has a different idea of a fun afternoon. For Ish and Saki, it’s all about the running; for Shane, it’s all about getting into conflict that's clearly way over his head; for me—well—I just like to watch the action from a distance. It’s the philosopher in me.

Best wishes on this warm spring day, Juno
