Ish's Fence & Saki's Sleepover

Such a lovely day; so soporific in its way.

Two pieces of good news. Well, first of all, you’ll be happy to know that Ish—you know him; he’s the dog who sometimes visits from across the street—is no longer spending his days and nights on a chain! John—that’s his owner—came over to tell Joan about it the other day. Here’s how it went:

Joan pulls into the driveway and gets out of the car. John walks across the street with his hands on his hips.

Joan: What’s up? What did I do wrong?

John: I just want to tell you that I put up a fence in the backyard for Ish.

Joan: Fantastic!

John: Now he can run around. He’s not on a chain.

Joan: Wow! I’m so happy.

John: Well, I just thought you’d like to know. Now you don’t have to worry about him.

Joan: Bravo! I knew you were a good man. I just knew it!

John laughs and waves goodbye. The end.

The other news is that Saki had a practice sleepover at a dogsitter’s house. The sitter and her family loved him, and Saki had a super time of it. Now he has a place to go if Joan has to be out late in the day.

Shane and me? We prefer to stay put, thank you very much. We’re way over running around all day and eating the furniture when no one’s home.

So how about all this happy news? Very pleasant, I’d say.

Best wishes, Juno
